About Me
Yo. I just graduated from Syracuse University, with a major in Television/Film at the Newhouse School.
I love video games, gaming/nerd culture, examining games critically as an art form, and all the useless trivia and data surrounding games. I am a consumer whore. Gaming is obviously one of my primary hobbies, though not the only one. I'm a regular on Failcast.
I also watch anime and read manga when I get the chance. It's mostly just mainstream and shonen stuff as a result of the ease of accessibility, though I try to see some more obscure series when I get the chance.
I have epic hair.
I play bass guitar and have been in a band. It's broken up. I lived the dream.
I love rock. I tend to gravitate towards various types of punk, alternative, or indie, though I'll listen to anything. Bob Dylan rocks. Also, random weird underground stuff. The NES sound chip was amazing.

For those not in the know, Cartoon Network used to make these awesome music videos called Groovies in the late 90s and early 2000s that completely rocked the house. I just found a bunch of these online and have to post them. So I guess ITT: we whack off to how awesome these were.
First one I saw and still my favorite because of the darker song combined with exaggerated cartoon expressions. Back before the world cared what Jpop/Jrock was, Cartoon Network cared. Another one of my favorites that I've been singing for years and could never remember where it was from. Cartoon Network also had a bunch of original remixes of old cartoons. Also like this one. Sometimes they got the band to make a new song for the series. I think RetroForce Go! fans will recognize this song! God, Loony Tunes rocked. Groovies even made Ed, Edd, and Eddy kinda good. There was also the occasional live-action excursion. I think this is the last one I'll post, even though there are some more cool ones out there. You can see more at this guy's YouTube page, and you really should, since I still skipped over a bunch of good ones, even if a few later ones weren't all that good.

Makes me miss the days when CN still had good shows.
"Who's gonna talk like Curly, since Curly isn't here?"
Such good times watching CN.
Cartoon Network really sucks these days.
Also, that Superfriends intro just doesn't sound the same without "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...welcome!"
I'm going to go watch Pinky and The Brain now.
Granted they have to create new cartoons, but even the ones that have now are garbage compared to the stuff Gendy made originally. Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, Courage, Ed, Edd, and Eddy... bah. I have the internet.
This was when Cartoon Network was awesome..
Too bad Boomerang's becoming too much like Cartoon Network of now. Less old school stuff and too current stuff. Remember it was just Hanna Barbera cartoons?
