Genoboost
From Bossies
Genoboost, or Anthony Ruybalid (Roo-Buh-Lid), is best known for writing and running Game Music 4 All. A relatively new bossie, he joined The Shizz community on January 1st, 2008. He tends to overuse the word "awesome." Also talks too much about Super Mario RPG and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in general. Genoboost has no musical abilities, but wishes he did, so he uses his moderate writing skills to make up for it.
