See, I did tell you I'd get around writing this page.
My name is The_Dag (not my real name). I'm a 26 year old Celtic male from the east of the Northern belt in England. Despite having been a reader of TV Tropes since around 2011, I only ended up getting known around 7 to 8 years ago. The vast majority of my posts on this forum are in Forum Games with occasional activity in the Video Games section.
