'''GeneralGuy''' is an [[MFGGer]] who joined [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy]] and the [[Invision|IPB]] [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy Forums|MFGG Forums]] on August 15th, [[2006]]. He originally joined for the sole purpose of creating [[Mario]] [[fangame]]s, but is mostly interested in the online community at this point. He is primarily active in the [[General Chat]], [[Pointless Post Palace]] and [[Wifi and Online Gaming]] sections of the message boards. <br />
<br />
==A Prelude: Discovering MFGG==<br />
The origin of GeneralGuy's affiliation with [[fangaming]] dates back to sometime between October and November of [[2005]]. At this time, he was completely new to the [[fangame]] community, and his very first game was an incomplete [[Super Mario Bros.]] fangame, which was made in a program called [[Platform Studio]]. During the summer of [[2006]], GeneralGuy was working tirelessly on a game made in [[RPG Maker|RPG Maker 2000]], a newly acquired tool. One of his unfinished pieces of work was a game called "Mario & Luigi: The Crystal-Star-Mountain", which used [[Mario & Luigi]] [[sprite]]s. Although there were a variety of [[RPG Maker|RPG2K]] resource websites on the Internet with publicly available [[sprite]] [[rip]]s, there simply weren't enough to complete the game. After rummaging through several websites via affiliate links, GeneralGuy stumbled upon [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy]] one Tuesday afternoon on August 15th, [[2006]]. He immediately found the [[sprite]]s he was looking for, which were uploaded by [[NO Body]]. He immediately joined [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy]] and the [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy Forums|Message Boards]] less than an hour later.<br />
<br />
==Nostalgic Happy Days==<br />
After GeneralGuy joined the [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy Forums|MFGG Forums]], he made several threads over the course of a couple months that consisted of uncompleted [[fangame]]s, which were all cancelled. Sometime in October of [[2006]], GeneralGuy acquired [[The Games Factory]], a far more standardized tool used by approximately half of [[MFGGer]]s who made [[fangame]]s; the other half using a different program called [[Game Maker]]. Eventually, GeneralGuy released a [[fangame]] called ''[[Paper Mario World 2]]'' to the [[Mario Fan Games Galaxy|MFGG Main Site]] on November 2nd, [[2006]]. For a short period of time, GeneralGuy was involved with designing the graphics in [[MFGG Ware]]. Around the beginning of June [[2007]], GeneralGuy bought [[The Games Factory 2]]. With this updated version of his previous game making program, he had far more options and features for creating [[fangame]]s.<br />
<br />
A few of the many [[fads]] and [https://wiki.mfgg.net/index.php?title=Category:Event| events] that GeneralGuy was active in were mostly from [[2006]] to [[2007]], such as [[ITF we are muscular trapeze artists]], the [[Pointless Supernova]], [[A Day That Will Live in Infamy]], [[Zombie Week]], [[Team Wars]] and [[The Great Mistake]].<br />
