Yes, my Avatar image is a Borg-Wookie cross. I like to call it a "Borgkie". It is pretty much the sweetest thing ever.
I have been playing games since the day my aunt decided she didn't want her NES anymore (CRAZY I KNOW!) and I have been keeping up with every generation since. There isn't a game genre I write off as "personally unplayable" but I generally stick more towards shooter and RTS style games.
AnLet the records state that "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is the best videogame in history. Fact.
Aside from video games I also enjoy Hard rock and Heavy Metal music (Led Zeppelin and Judas Priest being my favorite musical groups), and film. I have always wanted to be an actor, even if just on the side, and I have plenty of (perhaps horrid) youtube videos to show for it ( http://ca.youtube.com/user/GunSlap ).
Other than that, I recently graduated a Computer Programming / Networking course at the local community college. I now use my education to sit around loading IBM tapes into tape drives when they are requested. Life is interesting in a sort of non-interesting way nowadays.
