Title: I'm from Columbus, OH
Post by: Stratos on December 01, 2009, 09:16:31 AM
Hello.  I'm brand new here.  I was drawn in by GeneralsJoes and the Trading Card Contest.

I have been a life-long Joe fan (ARAH to now) but I'm a newb to the online communities.  My favorite Joes are Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow and the entire Arashikage storyline and characters (Jinx, Hard Master, etc).  Loved the original Marvel comics more than the cartoon.  Loved what Devil's Due did for Joe.  Like what IDW is now doing.  I think Resolute is super-fantastic!  And I really enjoyed Rise of Cobra as a "classic" popcorn action flick.

In addition to GI Joe, I love Masters of the Universe and Star Wars and Japanese Kaiju stuff.

I am a 34 yr old father of 3 (daughters).  I run Bailey Records and compose music for roleplaying & miniatures games properties for a living.  I did some music for an indie "dark fantasy" film called Dream Thirteen and the teaser trailer just debuted today ->

This appears to be a fantastic Joe community and I look forward to getting more involved!  Yo Joe!

In 2009:
Warlands, Rezolution, Pulp City -> all 3 are tabletop miniatures games.
In 2007:
The Chronicles of Ramlar, Mecha Vs Kaiju -> both are traditional pencil & paper roleplaying games
In 2004:
CyberNet -> my first roleplaying soundtrack & licensed game product

In the years between I've released albums based on indie comics (Slade Chronicles & Symphony of the Universe) plus indie films, TV & radio commercials, etc.  My albums can be heard (and purchased) via iTunes and http://www.cdbaby.com/all/baileyrecords (http://www.cdbaby.com/all/baileyrecords)

Thanks and yes, it's from He-Man.  Back in 2000 when I was looking for a new artist/band name moniker it was the first to pop in my head as something I actually would want to be called.  At the time the He-Man property was long-dead and Mattel even let many of their names & trademarks lapse.
