For starters:
I am an animator (mostly Flash animation), game designer, and level designer (mostly for Source, but I've dabbed in other game level designs as well). I'm also a gamer, and I almost religiously play Zombie Survival. I've had bouts of on-and-off playing, mostly due to updates Jetboom makes. I've been playing since ZS initially had NPC zombies.
Name origin:
It began with my old (and still used AIM) v0ltageswrdsmn7, which was created out of stupidity about 7 years ago, when I was about 12. The name is based on Crono's element from Chrono Trigger; although his actual elemental is apparently light, and not electricity, so my name's purpose is almost redundant. My name on servers is almost ALWAYS The Maverick, Voltage, but in a rare situation you may see my name as just Voltage or VoltDenatsu.
Time on:
I'm a late nighter, and my job doesn't usually begin until 4 PM, along with college. You might see me on between 6 PM EST ~ 4 AM EST, although I won't be on every second during those 10 hours. I hop on and off, depending if I am home or not.
Etcetera:
I was a former admin at the original official Madness Combat forums (the creator of the web animation "Madness Combat" resides there), and I currently have my own website along with a Youtube video game review series. I'm also into acting, graphic design, and Rock Band. I began playing Garry's Mod during GMOD 7, before you had to buy it.
Zombie survival has always been my favorite GMod gametype and I will usually only play on ZS servers on Garry's Mod, and I have had my share of annoyance and lack of action on tons of servers from GMod 7 to GMod 10, so the ability of a votekick or voteban is crucial.
From my training as an administrator, I've also developed a sense of check and balance along with fairness among the crowd, so whether a kick or ban is necessary for an individual, I know how to carry it out and what should be done.
Games I play:
I guess I'll keep it simply by stating the games I play - red for barely played anymore, yellow for played somewhat, and green for played recently.

My style
I'm more or less an old school gamer of NES, SNES, and N64. I am collecting about 700 super nintendo games. I am a profound listener of Desert Rock, Alternative Metal, and usually all things in rock/metal, along with a LITTLE bit of rap. My favorite bands (and rapper) are Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, The Protomen, That Handsome Devil, System of a Down, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, and Tech N9ne.
I animate with sprites from Super Nintendo games usually, but I also animate with Madness characters at times that I want to work with something other than video game characters. I like brush drawing in Flash and Photoshopping stuff to make unique or awesome Photoshops/pictures.
I'm 19 years old, currently deliver pizzas, and go to college.
Before you ask, should you HAVE to ask, I do smoke weed, and that's about as far as I'll go with drugs. I use it as a stress reliever and you will usually actually see me playing high if it's past 1 AM. That is usually when I'm last human and don't rage when I die. I'm also in more of a mood to talk about philosophy and politics if I'm high (strangely enough?).
