Whatever auspicious or otherwise conceited title you choose to use, Thomas Buster (AKA TBustah!) is charge here. He answers only to Stephen, so respect his authoritah.

Though perhaps best know as the creator of the FamilyBound series, he has been an active and voracious editor of Wikipedia and various fan Wikis over the last few years, which is what led Stephen to bring him on to help get the site started in May 2011.

Early Life and Education
Thomas was born in Yuma, Arizona on September 2nd, 1988. His family moved to Yerington, Nevada in December of 1989, where he was raised and educated. After graduating high school in 2006, he spent a year at home, taking a few classes at the local Western Nevada College branch before trying his hand at it full time. It was during this time that he started his YouTube account, and happened upon Stephen's /EarthBound series. Thomas contacted him, discovering a kindred sprit. Thomas moved to Carson City in August of 2007 to attend WNC at it's main campus. About three years later, having finished his general education requirements and trying his hand at every other subject he liked, he moved to Reno to see what Truckee Meadows Community College had to offer. He lived and studied in Reno for about eight months with a friend before moving back to Yerington in May 2011. He's currently taking a break from school to get some work experience and reevaluate his goals.

YouTube
Prior to the advent of YouTube, Thomas used to make simple stop-motion films with his father and brother using an 8MM camera. Thomas plans on releasing some of these as soon as he can convert the old tapes to a more suitable format.

During his final semester at Yerington High, Thomas produced a weekly sprite comic that had a small following amongst his classmates. As a result, he was approached in the waning days of the year by some of his graphics arts classmates to make an animation of some sort for their senior video. He quickly figured out a way to make simple cartoons using Windows Movie Maker and MS Paint, and delivered. Unfortunately, due to a censorship dispute with the class's teacher, the short was omitted from the final cut of the video. He later released it on his own through YouTube (his first YouTube video, in fact), but it was met with a cold reception due to the esoteric nature of it's humor.

He tried again with another short soon after with similar results, then finally struck gold with the release of the first FamilyBound in January of 2007. Though it was nowhere near viral, it's level of success did spur him on to release two sequels, and several other sprite films.

Today, Thomas mostly just makes new videos for contests, but even those are few and far between. He has a few ideas he's kicking around, but lacks the means (read: funding and equipment) to make them a reality. For now, he's content to work on Stephen Wikia and other projects.

Sprite Comics
Thomas has dabbled with spriting since 2006. The first installment of his first series, SpriteShock, was later adapted into the sprite film that he was comissioned to make for the senior video, the one that started it all.

He has two sprite comics on Drunk Duck, Pokemon Silver State Version, and it's spinoff, Pokemon Decade. Neither has been updated in several months, partly because of Thomas's frustration with Drunk Duck's constant, radical, and unnecessary changes.
