Online Persona Info edit
An overall great guy who's NEVER lame or anything. Always awesome, right? He's currently registered at GameFAQS under the name "viewmaster_pi". Usually considered "random", "weird", or just plain obnoxious, Fourange pulls no punches and goes all out to funk things up.
Names and Explanations edit
Fourange is a portmanteau of the words "Four" and "Orange". His trademark in various works is an orange with a four on it (No way!).
Fourange has also gone by: viewmaster_pi (inspired by his old ViewMaster brand projector), The Eel Deal (based on the Crash Bandicoot 2 level of the same name), Vieriru (another portmanteau of the German word for four, "Vier" and the japanese word for leech, "Hiru") and more recently, FALSE, due to an inside joke on the Spectrogram talk page.
Smash History edit
Fourange is great at Super Smash Bros. Brawl and is one of the few Mr. Game & Watch mainers. He invented the technique, "Hammerdropping" in Super Smash Bros. Melee and is incorporating it into the new Brawl physics. Tentative titles for the new techique are Reverse Hammerdropping, and Hammerbouncing.
GameFAQS History edit
Fourange has been frequenting GameFAQS for quite a while since Super Smas Bros. Brawl has been announced. Though he's usually one to lurk, recently he's been creating various hit-and-miss topics, some labeled as "epic" or "win", while most are ignored or just plain "fail". The GameFAQS moderators have a fetish with deleting his topics, regardless of what's inside. He's been on the "Warned" status twice, and has directly flamed the mods, as opposed to appealing to a moderation. He is still currently on probation.
The Midnight Release edit
The Midnight Release was a short story that has evolved into somewhat of a novel over time. He had first written a nonsensical story,(a subtle parody of another user's post), about what would happen at Brawl's midnight release at GameStop. It took place in a real-world Westfield mall located at Crestwood Plaza, in St. Louis. Inspired by the video game Dead Rising, and various stores in the mall, he had come up with nonsense and blathering that had been surprisingly well recevied by the other users. There are currently 2 parts to the story and is ongoing to this day. Fourange is starting up a collection of random short stories called "Beautiful World", which will include "The Midnight Release" as the first submission.
Real Life Personality edit
Fourange typically just hangs out and plays video games, but is often seen riding his bike he likes to call "Irving Jr. the Second". Though it's a BMX bike, he outfitted it with a banana-seat, a honky horn thing, and pegs. Flame grips, even! Though people refer to it as "Bikenstein" it keeps an unusually sleek look, and has a red-and-chrome color combo.
Interested in almost exact opposite genres, comedy and horror, many of his works are derived from them somehow. A good example is in "The Midnight Release", where he befriends a talking cinnamon roll and does battle with the ghost of the zombified girlfriend that wasn't actually his.
He hates internet lingo, and dumped his girlfriend for saying things like, "Zoh my god.", "Squee.", and making too many anime-based jokes.
His favorite drink is Rumba Energy Juice and he does NOT talk in third person.
