A stunning, brilliant, amazing story told by none other than Drevin himself.

Earliest Recorded History

Flash back to 1999.

One cold winter's day, I met with my friend whom had similar interests to my own. We enjoyed playing Starcraft a lot, even though we weren't too great ourselves. He showed me something that day, something that would change me forever. It was Homestead, a free web-host which came with it's own web page builder. Excitedly, we both worked on a page for a good few hours. What came out of it, was probably no where near a decent web page, but we marveled at it. I went home satisfied with a good days work. In the coming days, we became vaguely aware of the power of the web-editor. It allowed us to create pages without any HTML knowledge. Eventually, I wanted to create a page of my own. Thrilled, I rushed home and created my very first web page.

Enter: MegaManG. My first online alias ever. I was never really into MegaMan in my earlier years, but something just dragged me to it. I loved it for some reason. My first page was dedicated to whatever I could unravel about the Megaman series. While the information was hardly useful, I myself felt I was doing the world a favor (haha). I had all sorts of neat images every other site had, and pretty much copy and pasted the information. The site was generally useless, but I thought otherwise. Satisfied, I published my useless site into the grand interwebs. Suprise, no one cared. I didn't mind though. I still updated it practically every day and showed it to my friends. We were all just starting to make web pages, so I was pretty much on the level with their abilities.

One of my friends though, possessed the incredible knowledge of HTML...
