Eugene Wrayburn, Uriah Heep, and Mr. Micawber (Wilkins Micawber) are all Charles Dickens characters. :3

I should have guessed after the first two. What a boring author to be obsessed with.

I bet Mr. Micawber is from that story about the orphans.

Oh, whoops, wrong generalization. I thought that sounded wrong. I meant to say something like, "I bet it's the one where he criticizes child labor."

@Twilight Crow: meh, all I did was put the three names into Google to find any possible connection between the three. The only Dickens I've ever read is A Christmas Carol, Oliver Twist, and A Tale of Two Cities. I have a copy of Great Expectations lying around, but i couldn't get into it for some reason. :/

Welcome back Adam!
We had to defend Nintendo Life from Eugene in his 3rd incarnation.
I didn't know Eugene was such a BIG Charles Dickens fan.
I hope you have accepted Chicken Brutus as your king,or you will feel his wrath. :P
@Stuffgamer1-It was Eugene Wrayburn. MrMcwaber started off the topic by saying that he was Eugene Wrayburn.
He hasn't changed one bit.
I wished the moderators would have just locked the topic instead of deleting it. I would have LOVE to read the rest of the topic.
He also called me The VC Guy.
Why did he called me that? I will never know.

I've only read A Christmas Carol, but I have seen some movies based on his other writings. Of particular note is the EXCELLENT BBC adaptation of Bleak House.
