Welcome to the Interguild! I'm atvelonis, and I'm supposedly a staff member here. Do let me know if you have any questions.
I've been a part of the Interguild since late 2011, but have been casually playing HatPC ever since krotomo showed me it in early 2008. In my spare time I like to dance (Scottish), fence (épeé), cook, hike, and work with computer hardware. I enjoy literature, poetry, and art (especially impressionism), although I'm a bit of a dilettante. Musically, I grew up surrounded by classical and jazz, but have relatively broad taste. I am very fond of folk music, particularly Stan Rogers.
I don't prioritize video games as much as I used to, but I will still casually play a few titles when I have a moment. I've played Minecraft on and off since late 2010 or early 2011. Although I fell deeply in love with Skyrim in early 2013, I have since fallen more deeply in love with its wiki, where I have regularly contributed since mid-2014. The old Tomb Raider games have a special place in my heart. But, generally speaking, I think that most AAA titles are a complete waste of time.

As a kid I always thought tennisballs looked delicious and I liked biting them. I still remember the feel of the fuzz on my teeth and tongue.

I used to troll the world. Seas would rise when I spammed the board.

You know, I was thinking of getting an internship at Microsoft, but I'm not sure I want their lameness to rub off on me.

i shall always upvote atvelonis' lengthy video game reviews even though i myself have no interest in playing video games - em-dashes are a sign of pure, unadulterated dedication
Minecraft (some of these are intentionally bad, but I'm going to ignore that):
Great:
* Snowsheep Castle (2013-09-23). My personal favorite build on the server. Very well-designed and uses an excellent palette of materials.
Good:
* Mushropolis (2014-01-11). I'm quite partial to this mushroom-themed town, especially due to the humorous notes scattered about the islands.
* Doorbell Farm (2015-01-11). The humble abode of a farmer, isolated from everything else in the world. The doorbell is his one luxury.
* Catalina Catacombs (2015-05-15). Liberal use of sandstone and it actually worked. A maze-like layout that enhances the "tomb-like" feel of the crypt.
Okay:
* Half-Sphere (2013-04-13). My first level, and I think it's sorta alright in most regards. The staircase is awful, though.
* Spiral (MC) level that I accidentally deleted 27 August 2017. Originally published 29 June 2013 at 14:31:28. Interesting design, and thankfully the lava has since been removed.
* Neezles' House (2013-12-10). In celebration of INTERNATIONEEZLE DAY. It actually has nothing to do with Neezles, I just wanted an excuse to post it.
* Cocomo Tower (2014-02-04). Purposely isn't based off a real circle. Kind of an uninteresting design, but it looks neat from the inside.
* Atvelonis' Spawn City Mansion (2014-04-14). This was supposed to be a joke but ended up falling sort of flat. Still neat.
Meh:
* Atvelonis' Shack on Survival (2014-05-10). My quaint little home on the Survival map. Purposely a literal dirt house.
* Quirvy's Wonderburger (2015-06-01). A lame hamburger for Quirvy. He was consulted for its ingredients, but was disappointed with the end result.
* A Peaceful Noob Life (2015-06-26). A classic noob house. Nostalgic to build, and beautiful from an artistic standpoint; hideous from any other.
HATPCR and Aeon:
Okay:
* Greased Lightning (2016-10-24). Much too reliant on spikes and the poor hitboxes of Aeon to be particularly enjoyable.
