Hey everybody,

My names Nik, I've been meaning to start to fill out this page for a long, long time but now I'm finally getting round to doing it. Anyway about me I’m 24 and live just outside London, I’ve played games all my life and owned most of the major consoles but it was Final Fantasy 7 that turned me into a gamer. Favorite games include FF7, Super Mario 3, Fable 2 Sonic and Knuckles, The Orange Box, Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 4 and other such games most of which are sequels, why is that?

I’m also a pretty big reader with Snow Crash, World War Z and Survivor being some of my favs. More recently I’ve gotten into comics in a big way I’m reading 100 bullets, DMZ, Invincible, Hellboy, The Umbrella Academy, Walking Dead and Scott Pilgrim at the moment. Always up for hearing some recommendations for new books to pick up.

I studied film at University and I've always been really into cinema, I could go on and list hundreds of flicks that I love but here's a few: (500) Days of Summer, Swingers, Dark Knight, Cloverfield, Iron Man, Top Gun, CONfidence, Bubba Ho Tep, Army of Darkness, Shaun of the Dead, Battle Royale, Anchorman and Heat being a few of my favs. I also make a point of going to see every game adapatation at the cinema (that's released anyway), I don't know why, maybe I just go in the hope that one day, one film will get it right.
