NOVA REFUGE ::
My
brother,
Justin
"Saber-Scorpion" Stebbins,
has been writing a series of science fiction novels based
around his own universe – Nova Refuge – for many years, and
my sister and I have helped along the way. We
hope to enlarge Nova Refuge into a vast science fiction
universe with many novels, and someday even video games and
films. You can visit
Nova
Refuge's official website for more information about it.
Visit
www.novarefuge.com for more information.
WYLFGARD ::
My sister, Maegan Stebbins, is writing
a series of fantasy stories based around her own fantasy
world, Wylfgard. My brother is helping a lot, and I guess I
have contributed a little. Hopefully I will find time to
contribute more toward it as well in the future. Visit
www.wylfgard.com for more information.
MGSONLINE.NET ::
On
August 25, 2003, I bought the domain name
MGSOnline.net
and set up the website "Metal Gear Solid Online," which was
a fan-site dedicated to the Metal Gear game
series. I went through many, many elaborate website designs for MGSOnline.net, and it was during this period of time that I
gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about creating
websites and graphics. Shortly after
purchasing MGSOnline.net's domain name,
I also acquired a domain name for my personal site, RyanStebbins.com.
In September of 2004, I changed Metal Gear Solid Online to
Multiple Games Source Online, thus allowing me to write
reviews and critique any games that I liked instead of only
the Metal Gear game series. The new version of the website
concentrated mainly on three games series: the Metal Gear
series, the Halo series, and Tom Clancy games. I also wrote
a few reviews for various other games, some of which I wrote
under contract, in which case I received the game for free,
along with a small payment.
THE SABER CLAN ::
Back around the year
1999,
my
brother Justin and I started an online gaming
clan for Star Wars: Jedi Knight Dark Forces II, which played online at the
MSN Gaming Zone.
It was from this online gaming clan that I acquired the screen
name "Saber_Ryan1." Jedi Knight sparked an interest in editing
video games for my brother and I. We made levels and
modifications for the game, and the first level that my brother
made for it, the Mos Espa RPG, became immensely popular and is
now considered a classic among the Jedi Knight community. We
closed The Saber Clan on May 30th, 2002. Despite many attempts
by ex-Saber members to remake the clan, it has never been
accomplished.
