Tsunami Red is a bombastic, slamtastic funkmeister. Don't mess.

Retrospect

Like the site's owner, Red suffers from Nostalgiaphobia, and is ecstatic when coming across more 80's pop culture sites on the web. Much of his childhood was spent watching cartoons and movies, conjuring mass toy figures battles, and escaping reality via NES, SNES, and computer games. He also recalls visiting every toy store/section and arcade in every mall he ever went to.

His retro-favourites include:

  • TV shows - GI JOE, Transformers, TMNT, Batman, X-Men, Ghostbusters, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and of course, Sesame Street
  • NES Games - Castlevania 3, Contra, Double Dragon, Dragon Warrior, River City Ransom, Zelda 2, Strider, Super Mario Bros. 3
  • SNES Games - Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 4 thru 6, Secret of Mana, Killer Instinct, Mega Man X series, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2 series, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Zelda 3
  • (Older) Computer Games - Ultima 6, Sam and Max, Wing Commander, OMF 2097, Doom 1 and 2, Sorcerian, Thexder 2, Star Control 2, almost every Sierra adventure game, and almost every game Apogee has ever made
  • Music - The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, KISS, Santana, Metallica, The Police
  • Movies - Star Wars (Eps 4-6, FUCK 1-3), Back to the future trilogy, The Goonies, Spaceballs!!!

Current Status

Red is a songwriter/musician who oddly enough, holds a B.A. and unfortunately works a full-time job to make ends meet. This duality of occupations leaves him with little time for not much else but writing music nowadays. He has released one solo album, and is currently working on a bigger one.

Outside of music and work, he plays hockey (but will forever be relegated to 3rd or 4th line duty), plays a few games on the DS, is a recently retired Otaku, and is still somehow trying to find a girl who can stand his anti-social disposition.

Trivia

  • He is a walking encyclopedia of FF4, 5, 6, and Chrono Trigger
  • His other favourite video game franchises are Castlevania, Metal Gear, and Shenmue
  • He is a BIG aficionado of J-rock, but it seems that he and Aika are the only forumers who know of its existence
  • He loves stand-up comedy, and worships the late George Carlin
  • Because of his name, he has been defaulted into performing only with red guitars
  • He terrorizes buffets, particularly for sushi and breakfast
