User:VGPaleontologist/Gallery

For images and other media by VGPaleontologist. It is worth noting I had previous accounts under the name of StuckInLagToad and VPaleontologist, and frankly, I can access them, but I don't remember the passwords and some auto-log me in and some don't, so I just made do.
