What's up, guys? I'm Kenneth, or just Kenny. I am currently an MCJROTC cadet and planning to develop a career in computer science or engineering (depending on what's available). I joined this website at around June 4, 2009. Well, how am I suppose to start this off? An autobiography about myself? A speech, hmm? Well, I would just start with my early years as an IMFDB user. How did I discover this site, hmm? The best and shortest way to explain it would probably be my hobbies. When I was a third grader, I started seeing Call of Duty 2 on the shelves and a PC on display that has the game installed at Fry's Electronics. I started wondering what it was so I decided to give it a try. After putting my hand on the mouse, I didn't know what the heck I was suppose to do, but after frantically and accidentally hitting the left mouse button, I suddenly started understanding how video games work. Some sort of epiphany happened in my head. After getting the hang of shooters, I started liking FPS games and enjoyed them more than those silly flash games on the internet. From that day, I started getting into FPS games and more action movies, and eventually bought Crysis in 2008. Satisfied with Crysis, I started getting into Medal of Honor: Airborne, and after playing it for several hours, I started loving the guns in the game to the point where I started becoming a gun fan and researching the guns in movies and video games. When I started researching guns from the Airborne game, I suddenly came across a high-quality picture of a Thompson Submachine Gun (one of my favorite guns back then). I originally intended to use it as a wallpaper, and clicked on it. The image led me to Imfdb.org, a website about guns in media that was under development at the time and was not as notable as it is now. After reading about the purpose of the website and seeing several pages and movies in poor condition, I decided to join the website and took the initiative to create and fix a few pages. However, I suddenly started enjoying it and decided to contribute more. Despite several amateur attempts to contribute to the website (i.e. jacking images from others in order to "contribute", overdoing pages, adding poor-quality images) and my occasional recklessness and silliness in the past (i.e. making silly comments, using terrible and "unconventional" methods of contributing, messing around by making it look like multiple people are talking at once [before knowing about the "History" tab]), I eventually improved a lot, and started caring more about this website than before.

Gun Pictures
Screencaping
I usually buy/rent my movies from iTunes (either in HD [occurs more often] or in standard definition) and then use Snipping Tool (automatically comes with Windows 7) to screencap. If I am watching a movie from a DVD or Blu-Ray, I use VLC and select the "Snapshot" button. I then tweak the screenshot with Photoshop or use the video settings in VLC to adjust my screenshots with sharpness or correct it.
Drawings
Here are drawings that I drew(I am good at drawing simple weapons like the M1911A1, but can't draw humans good somehow). I'll try to upload more.
