Hello there. I am Adam Osman, but you may know me as either gmXpert2000 or, more recently, as SoulRed12. Right now, I will put forth the notice that the two members are one and the same; me. I’m currently expecting my name to be changed on the Game Maker Community to SoulRed12, so eventually you won’t need to remember two names anymore as SoulRed12 is used everywhere else. If you’ve seen me anywhere, you should also recognize my signature red mask avatar:
I suppose I should describe myself. First off, I enjoy writing music. I used to focus on programming, but eventually I got more and more burnt out from programming line after line, project after project (most of which never got finished due to problems with graphics). Eventually, I began writing some music, and before I knew it, I was doing it full time. I just never tired out from music the way I did from programming.
Anyways, I do still enjoy some programming; I go around the GMC answering some questions in hopes that I can keep my GML wits about me in case I ever need it for any reason. But besides that, I tend to program websites with PHP. I’ve gotten pretty skilled with that. But alas, nothing has ever been as good as wordpress, so instead of publishing one of the many websites I’ve built, I’ve always decided to just stick to this blog. After all, people actually know about this place; starting a brand new website would mean starting from scratch. Plus wordpress is so kewl.
Aside from that, I’m taking a psychology major in college, though I’m seriously considering going to law school afterwards. Though music will always be a big part of my life, regardless of what happens for me professionally in the future.
On the hobby side, I play sports, mostly basketball. I also play some poker, though not much. Texas hold’em for the win.
Next, I love to act in the theatre. My last production was a highschool one of Inherit the Wind, in which I played the Reverend. I’ve also acted in Romeo and Juliet and Arsenic and Old Lace.
Finally, as I believe I hinted in the first paragraph, I contribute to many online communities including the GMC (Game Maker Community) and YoyoGames.com. Both sites have links in my sidebar.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy this blog’s content as much as I’m sure I’ll enjoy writing it.
