Author has written 8 stories for Terraria, Minecraft, and Fallout.

Previously Known As Sensei200.

If you got a question or comment about my writing, feel free to shoot me a PM! I don't really post here anymore but I still answer reviews, PMs, etc.

With that in mind,

Hello! My name is Max. I'm the guy in the picture, with the goofy hair. I am a 18 year old EMT, as well as a creative-writing major at a career arts school. For a number of years, I was a semi-competent bureaucrat/paper pusher for a small charity organization known as Legacies. During the summers, I make snow-cones at an amusement park. Depending on who you ask, I'm also hobbyist saber-fencer.

As for my activity on this site, I write stories about video games. As part of my classes, I write stories and plays about all sorts of stuff that isn't video game related, but I don't intend to link that here. I've taken heavy inspiration from a number of writers, such as Terry Pratchett, Neil Geiman and Eliezer Yudkowsky. I wrote some of my very first stories here, and though I consider them to be a lot worse than what I write now, I still have them up for posterity. The writing adventures of 12-year old me are chronicled here forever!

About The Guide: I've been thinking about picking the story back up for a while now, but I haven't really had the drive. That's not to say I'm done- it's been a really fun story to write, and I know how it ends. But, I've been working on a fallout story recently (That I won't publish until it is finished- I learned my lesson!) called, "Practicing Medicine." Once it's finished, I will post it 3 chapters a week over the span of a couple of months. Until that's done, I unfortunately won't have much time for "The Guide." Sorry to anyone still following that glorious train wreck of a story.

The Future:

Practicing Medicine:

Practicing Medicine: The year is 2279. The place- The hellish Mojave Desert, where an aspiring young physician with a disco-flair sets out with a caravan of enigmatic characters in search of the elusive Followers of the Apocalypse.

A Living Sacrifice by Lilac Papillon reviews
I could have been Jeff, Dustin, Logan, and it wouldn't have mattered to this soul who looked far from the savior of Terraria when I first found them. No, all the Hero was concerned about was who I was – who I was to them, who I could be to them, who I would be for them. The Hero was the Hero. I was only the Guide. One-shot, first person POV, Guide-centric

The Guide reviews
Every Hero needs a Guide and, in this world, there's only one man to fill the position; Heroes come and go, but the Guide will always remain. The story offers a semi-realistic look at the adventures and resulting trauma that The Guide faces in his unique line of work.

The wall of flesh has been destroyed, and the player now must bring purity to Terraria, and purge the ever growing darkness, blocked only by the hallow.

The player's job wasn't done after all- maybe it has to do with that evil dungeon, or maybe the sinister goblins. It could be the infected crimson- or perhaps it all leads up to the dangerous path to the underworld, and the terrible impurity that rules there. (Sequel to A Hero's Game)
