From BlankItWiki

Video game collector, Lemmo camp follower since WinterComic. Sits around failing to do chores in Oregon's Willamette Valley, dealing with annual summer stress events and developing carpal tunnel syndrome. Reads a lot of science fiction (skiffy, you'll hear him say) and occasionally rereads it (see Obsessions). Avid webcomic reader.
Seems to have set himself up as the WMGmeister.

Sign: Aquarius

Owns ~100 NES games, and occasionally still plays them. On and off again, trying to beat Final Fantasy 1 with 4 white wizards. He assures you this is not the most difficult way to play the game; it's simply the most difficult way to feasibly beat the game.

Of the characters seen so far in Blank It, Mackie feels most akin to Aric.

Suspects he's not all that bad an editor as regards content, but is aware he often makes mistakes even when using Preview regularly. (You should see him when he forgets to do that.)
