Welcome one and all to my little piece of craziness in this here destructoid-land! One of the few scottish people that apparantly isn't constantly drunk and/or red headed. I'm a lazy student lazing my way through the wonderful world of university whilst playing guitar (my beloved ESP Eclipse and Schecter C1 Classic) in my band (www.myspace.com/fallidle). I love music and games in equal measure and hate tourists...long story. I own a pc, ps3, psp, ps2, ps1, xbox, a 360, mega drive and many many gameboys haha! I'm a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, working my way through Tatics atm and also love FPS's.

My Cblogs aren't very good at all but I don't care and will continue to write them until I get told to stop! Generally I write about random stuff I find interesting or things that annoy/amaze me but I do write a series of blogs called Confessions Of A PS3 owner which is all about the games that I have played recently on my PS3.

Music is a huge part of my life, as far back as I can remember all I've wanted to do is make music. My music tastes, strangely, are extremely broad. It is strange because generally people that listen to heavier music have limited musical knowledge. I enjoy anything from acoustic music through baroque, romantic, powerpop, metal, metalcore, hardcore, pop punk, nu-metal, grunge, post-grunge, alt rock, soft rock, hair metal, classic rock, some older pop stuff, some dance/trance music, west coast rap, instrumental, math metal, chill out music, indie and some surf rock.

Currently my favourite bands are: Muse, Our Lady Peace, Elliott Smith, City & Colour, Alexisonfire, Chiodos, Flood of Red, Explosions In The Sky, The Shins, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried & Me, Rolo Tomassi and Fei Comodo

I am a self styled amateur photographer in my spare time, I cover many styles of photography. So far my repetiore consists of gig photos, modelling shots, still life and some digital art.
