On this page you can find some info about me, BowserBasher.
About the Name
About the name BowserBasher. I started using it on a computer games
forum. As I have played so many Super Mario Brothers games and beaten
up Bowser more times than I can remember, I thought that I wanted
something that related to that. So I thought that 'Bowser' had to be
in there, then I decided that it would be cool to use a second word
that also started with 'B' to get the feeling of alliteration. 'Bashing'
came to mind, I played around with that for a while, then finally settled
on 'Basher'. I then put the two together, and the finished result was 'BowserBasher'
(note the two capitol 'B's). Then as I started signing up to other forums, I
just decided that I was going to use that name there too, instead of coming up
with something relevant to the site. I thought that if I used the same name all
over the place, it would be easier to remember my login name, and I maybe recognized
on other sites too. That is how the name came to me. So look for BowserBasher wherever
you go.
Registering BowserBasher.com was just the next logical step. And here you are now.
My interests
Computers
I love playing computer games and my personal choice is Nintendo. I have been a fan since the days of the NES. I own all the systems, including a Virtual Boy (apart from a NES, which I am trying to acquire, again). I am not so much a fan of PC gaming, but I do love playing RCT/RCT2. I intend on putting up a page to display my work at a later date. You can view my entire Games Collection by following the link.
What a find! On Saturday 30th January 2005, I was able to pick up two amazing bargains. First a boxed NES system, with two controllers and all the leads. It even had the polystyrene in there. The second was even better. A complete boxed Virtual Boy, with two games. I now have a wonderful collection of Nintendo consoles. If only I had the room to display them all.
TV
I have been a fan of the WWE for 10+ years. As I live in the UK I have not managed to attend as many shows as I would like to. I attended my first show in 2002, WWE InsurreXtion, at Wembley arena on May 4th. I have now been to a second show, the SMACKDOWN! Tour de Force 2003 show. I was at the show in Sheffield on the 11th May. I have been to a third now, SMACKDOWN! Passport to Pain tour 2003. I went to the show in Birmingham on the 11th October. I have a page dedicated to pictures from the shows here in The Lair.
I had the great pleasure of being one of the many fans that got tickets to the first ever RAW tv taping in the UK on the 11th October 2004. I had great seats, and the show was amazing like always. We blew the roof off the M.E.N.!
Other programs that I enjoy watching include The Simpsons, Angel, Buffy, Takeshi's Castle, 24, Tru Calling, Frasier, Lost, Stargate Atlantis, QI, along with many others.
Films
I love watching films. I have an ever growing DVD Collection, I have just over 100 DVD's, and it grows ever larger. You can take a look here. I don't really have a favourite film as such, I only buy films that I really like. So therefore all my films are my favourite in their own way.
I have met three stars from The Lord of the Rings. Sala Baker, Jed Brophy and Lawrence Makoar. Pictures and a recollection of the time can be Seen Here.
Other things
Roller Coasters! Everyone loves these. Well I'm no different, I love them too, and have been trying to get to as many theme parks as possibly, so that I could ride as many as I could. If only trips to America were cheaper, I would go there too, but as of now, I stick to the ones that are here in the UK. I have on-ride photo's of most of the roller coasters that I have ridden. They can be found on this site.
WooHoo! In September, 2004, I took a 17 day holiday to Orlando Florida, and had the time of my life riding the many roller coasters there.
My love of coaster inspired me to make the logo/banner that you see at the top of the page. It features my favourite coasters, along with the name BowserBasher. I have recently updated it to feature two new coaster that I rode whilst on holiday in Orlando. It now features, Dragon Khan (top left), Nemesis (top right), The Hulk Coaster (bottom left) and Dueling Dragons (bottom right).
Last, but not least, here is what I look like:
Well that gives you a little insight into who I am, and what I like. Thank you for taking time to read this.
