My last name is Kruger. I was born on Friday the 13th. Seriously.

I live in New Orleans.

I love video games. All systems, all consoles, all of them. You will just as soon see me playing a 1980's arcade game as you would the latest 360 release.

I love any and all horror games. I'm a horror fanatic.

I'm also a fighting game whore, especially 2-d fighters.

I enjoy playing old school games on emulators, and love finding old school games I've never heard of before.

I just got a new gaming tv! A 40" Sony Bravia LCD! It's gorgeous for games. Hit me up on Xbox Live : TheX13thXDragon.

Other shit I like, in no particular order:
Transformers, G.I. Joe, books, MC Chris, Lost, dragons, Puss N Boots from Shrek, H.P. Lovecraft, The Dark Tower, Tech N9ne, photography, samurai, Staind, animals, beer, X-Files, lots of other shit.

Marvel Super Heroes as envisioned by modern "artists"

A Los Angeles art gallery is showing an exhibit called "Under The Influence : A Tribute To Stan Lee." It's basically Marvel's flagship heroes (Hulk, Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men, etc.) painted in rather extreme varying styles.

There are lots of epic and awesome pieces of art work in the exhibition, but also a few meh ones. I would love to get my hands on some of these.

Check out a gallery of the paintings here:

A few of my favorites:








(I like X-Men & Wolverine!)

LOL@ The House of Freaks one, not because it's not awesome... but because Cyclops is listed as "annoying" XD

If you look through the "Available Artwork" section on the Gallery 1988 site, there are lots of video game related pieces as well.
