Over the years, gaming has taken me in a lot of different directions. I've written guides, created videos, competed in tournaments, chased world records, built websites, helped run communities, and worked on projects ranging from Mario Kart and Pokémon to Advance Wars and strategy games.
This page collects those accomplishments in one place, covering competition, guide writing, YouTube creation, community projects, websites, rankings, records, challenge runs, and other milestones from more than two decades of gaming history.
These projects represent another side of my gaming history beyond competition and guide writing. They include websites, community hubs, archives, broadcasts, rankings, and other projects that helped gaming communities grow, stay active, and remain accessible over time.

I originally created this page to keep track of my own gaming accomplishments. Over the years, they became scattered across GameFAQs, YouTube, competitive leaderboards, community websites, screenshots, and older projects. Bringing them together in one place makes it easier to see the full picture.
The page remains a living record. As I continue reviewing old screenshots, websites, videos, tournament results, rankings, and community history, I still uncover accomplishments and milestones that deserve to be documented.
