I tend to play a mix of retro and modern games. I'm a fan of Platformers, Beat 'Em Ups, RPGs, First Person Shooters, Fighting Games, Shumps, and Adventure Games. My favorite retro games include anything in the Mario series, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Mega Man 1-3, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fight, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, any Capcom Fighter, Maniac Mansion, Sam and Max Hit The Road, Deus Ex, Galaga, Axelay, any game in the Gradius or R-Type series, and countless others. Currently I'm on a binge in Shadow Complex, but you can also find me playing Call of Duty 4, Punch-Out!!, No More Heroes, Mad World, Madden 2009, Batman Arkham Asylum, Fallout 3, Oblivion, any Soul Caliber game, KOTOR, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, UFC 2009, and Mario Galaxy. Upcoming releases I'm looking forward to are Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Metroid: Other M, Brutal Legend, Tekken 6, Crackdown 2, A Boy and his Blob and Alpha Protocol.
Aside from my gaming I'm a big fan of Professional Wrestling, not WWF or WWE now, but independent groups like Chikara, Inter-Species Wrestling, and Pro-Wrestling Guerrilla. I'm a big fan of most any cartoon series. I love weird or obscure TV series. I enjoy cinema, especially B-Movies and films so bad that they are good. I have a degree in culinary arts, am working towards getting one in Food Science, and that's pretty much me.
