My real name is Patrick; I am a college student living in Wisconsin (United States). I was recently made an Administrator on this Wiki, and I am available to resolve issues, answer questions, and clean up articles. Leave a message on my talk page if you need help, have questions or have a problem with something; if you need to discuss something more privately, I will also respond to e-mail, but I am less likely to check it, so please tell me on my talk page if you've sent me an e-mail.
I've played RollerCoaster Tycoon since I was 9. I have had or have all 3 RCTs, and was in the past semi-active in the online RCT community - I spent a great deal of time at UltimateRCT (now defunct). I have been out of the community for many years, and do not play the game much as it doesn't like to cooperate on my Windows 7 laptop. However, I am somewhat knowedgable about the game and it's mechanics (especially RCT1 and 2).
Aside from RCT, I also play the computer games SimCity and The Sims. I am a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, and still own a Sega Genesis with most of the original Sonic games. I am also a fan of Golden Sun, a video game series originally released on Nintendo's GameBoy Advance, and I've made a couple edits to the Golden Sun Universe Wiki. Outside of video games, I am interested in meteorology and cartography. I am also interested in human geography; how people have moved and changed over the centuries, where nations have formed and have collapsed, and how culture has originated and spread over the globe. In short, I'm a geography nerd.
