GREENIEGUEST'S HUMBLE ABODE



~ About Me ~


About Me

I'm a CS undergrad who has liked the idea of creating my own stuff since the age of 3 but isn't very good at it. I don't play games that often anymore, I mostly listen to music, make a simulation or otherwise bide my time unwisely.

My main claim to fame is the YouTube channel I have that randomly blew up one day in 2016. I consider myself an 'Algotuber' though I don't make the same kind of content that most others in my genre make.

Quick Facts

I am a:

  • Former OTer (2014-2017)
  • Former member of YT 2016 Mapping Community
  • Former member of Droyal and associated servers (Good times)
  • Enjoyer of Paradox games
  • Algodoo YouTuber
  • 2GO "Murder Island" character creator
  • Roblox developer
  • EWOWer (Top 1%!)
  • Prominent member of "Risk: Antiquity to Modernity Customs" grand campaign

I may go by other names online such as 'Archavian', 'CharkenNoodel' etc, but the psuedonym I use most is GreenieGuest which I've used since 2014.

My Interests

Music

Music is the best escape from the troubles of the world. Most of my music taste is inherited from the indie game series "Emily is Away" hence my heavily 90's-and-2000's music taste. (Also sarah. Thanks Sarah!)

My favorite artists in order are:

  1. Abandoned Pools
  2. Senses Fail
  3. Dashboard Confessional
  4. Snow Patrol
  5. Alanis Morissette
  6. Death Cab for Cutie

Eleven Words of Wisdom

I'm also a contestant in fellow CS major Cary Huang's creative writing competition "Eleven Words of Wisdom". Check out the statistics spreadsheet here: EWOW Statistics Spreadsheet


Other Interests & Fun Facts

I'm very notoriously uncultured but I do still have some supplements of culture in me. (I also have a very clear liking for time travel which reflects in my taste, and I would abuse it if it were real)

Favorite Movies:

  1. Back to the Future 1-3
  2. Groundhog Day
  3. Titanic
  4. Terminator 1 and 2 (the good ones)
  5. Superbad
  6. Eurotrip
(honorable mentions: 21/22 Jump Street, How to Train Your Dragon, Breakfast Club, Deadpool and Wolverine, The Maze Runner)

Favorite TV Shows:

  1. Game of Thrones (Seasons 1-4 were pure peak.)

Other things I enjoy doing are writing down dreams, journaling and occasionally writing a giant script for a series that never ends up being made. I'm a big memorykeeping person.

More Music Lists

  2. Abandoned Pools - The Remedy
  3. Snow Patrol - Spitting Games

  5. Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape

Favorite Albums:

  1. Abandoned Pools - Humanistic (Still one of my favorite albums, it should have gotten more love. Thanks Sarah)
  2. Dashboard Confessional - The Swiss Army Romance (I have a love for acoustic songs. Ender Will Save Us All is one of my favorites)
  3. Dashboard Confessional - The Places You Have Come To Fear The Most (Early era Dashboard is peak.)
  4. Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You (Thanks Emily Is Away Too for this one. Martini Kiss is perfect for a drive home)
  5. Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism (Got hooked a month ago. Slowly rising up the ranks)
  6. Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (Described my 2023 summer. One of the few 'perfect albums' in my opinion)

Other

Favorite Survivor Seasons:

  1. S28 - Cagayan (Probably the most peak newbie season Survivor will ever have. Also the season that got me into Survivor in the first place.)
  2. S20 - Heroes vs. Villains (Absolute cinema. 'Nuff said)
  3. S37 - David vs. Goliath (Definitely the best season of the post-Cagayan era. The cast is just too good, and Natalie should have lasted longer)
  4. AUS - Australia vs. The World (Probably my most hyped-for season. Awesome to see peak Parvati & Cirie again, and I loved Tony, Kass and George)
  5. S33 - Millennials vs. Gen X (I heard this season was good but I wasn't expecting it to be THAT good.)
  6. S40 - Winners at War (Horrific boot order, but for what it's worth, it was still a great season even with some of the twists)
