Traits
Aside from being better than Luigi of the Pipes, GORE is also a staff member at Gamehiker. He also co-founded the Golden Cheesecake Pirate Armada with his high school friends and is a big comic book fan, especially of Batman. Some figures call him obsessed, and they would probably be proven right if they were to see his secret Bat-related projects.
Recurring Themes
- Seems to often wind up using wild plot twists, insane revelations and the "hidden past" thing for nearly all his characters, and even some that aren't his own.
- Often ends posts with cliffhangers, especially likes ones that pit all odds against the hero(es), although that may make it hard for the next poster.
- During Member OG 3 he wrote a battle set near a volcano. He then endeavored to make battles involving lava (usually with the villain falling in) at least once in each MOG, even including one in Member OG: Special Edition. Don't think he did them all though.
- Likes use of foreshadowing/dramatic irony as well as continuity references/throwbacks to previous OGs (aka "fanboy moments").
- Makes typoes every other sentence. Doesn't make salad.

- Wrote and acted as Que Pasa, voice-acted as Bill Cosby and Morgan Freeman.
- Biopardy skit (2006)
- Opening movie for GORE's team (the Orange Pirates, named so because it had to be botany-related) in school's 2006 bizzarre competition. Lifted weights shirtless. Also footage of him playing Nintendo DS (that day he was in the final battle of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time).
- The Golden Cheesecake Pirate Armada Movie II: The Secret of The Guz (2007)

TV Production
- Payback
- In the first of the silent movies, GORE portrays a nerd in a take on Revenge of the Nerds. Is cool because he wears a cape at one point.
- The Lumberjack Games
- Directed and idea conceived by GORE-ILLA. Involves Darren (also known as the GCPA member Mini-Myself) and Meyer as competing lumberjacks. At one point a Vorpal referance was planned by describing Meyer as being "ten Darrens tall" but it was cut.
- Cameo appearances in the other silent movies: The Imaginary Grand Prix (the best of the silent movies), Freshman Guide to High Tech and You're Next.
- The John Murro Show
- Host of the uncreatively-titled futuristic talk show. Was a time-travelling talk show with guests OJ Simpson and Al Capone, musical guest Guzennius the Clarinetist. Also appearances by Kryptonian criminals from the Phantom Zone and an OG character is briefly mentioned.
- Filled a role in all talk shows; as Mr. Softee in the one at the center of the Earth, as sous-chef Liam in the caveman talk show, as Napoleon Dynamite's Clone in California Nation, and as OJ Simpson the Magician in Chit Chat Con Emilio Jackson.
- Conceived the idea of Mechanical Ape music video and resumed GCPA role as Que Pasa. Tried to stick another OG referance in it but couldn't find a brown scarf in time.
