## History

Fox originally started out as a forum member at the *EarthBound* fansite, Starmen.Net, under the alias "Radiation" where he managed the website's PK Hack forum up until 2011. He first entered the public eye with his infamous *"EarthBound Halloween Hack"*, also known as *"Press the B Button, Stupid!"*, which was a submission for Starmen.Net's 2008 Halloween Funfest.

Fox also produced music for the webcomic *Homestuck*, after which he would go on to create *Undertale* which was partially developed in Andrew Hussie's basement.

## Trivia

* Toby Fox has visited the undertale wikia page Dog Residue article and commented on a piece of vandalism on Papyrus claiming that the character was inspired by Octopimp.
* Toby Fox is embarrassed by his Halloween Hack and has dubbed it "bad ROM hack with swears".
* Although Toby Fox's official website's content was replaced with a link to the UNDERTALE website, a part of it with music composed by Toby still exists. For some reason, the name "musics" in the URL is misspelled "msuics".

Alongside the claim, I provided a link to a now-defunct live stream for the YouTube channel Game Grumps. However, yesterday, the creator of Undertale, Toby Fox, said on Twitter that this wasn't true, with Octopimp later following suit and also saying it was false. I was later banned from Undertale Wiki for adding said false information, with the accusation from replies to Toby's tweet that I was a troll.*" - GamingFanatic. November 4, 2015. Wikia.
