Tell us about yourself. What's your story?
Weeell.... it's about 300 pages in the "adult fiction" section. ;) I kid. The publisher told me it was rubbish. T^T
Gamer ever since as old as my grubby, jam-smeared hands could hold an Atari and Colecovision controller, my mom quickly had to put a lid on my tendencies from an early age - otherwise I never would have gone to sleep, school, or church. Grew up in a little woodsy town, eventually discovered this thing called "socialization," and before too long realized there were crazy people just like me haunting local comic shops. Life had never been so glorious as the day of that epiphany.
Now I have the obligations and responsibilities of a grownup. That's good, mostly, as I get paid to investigate train wrecks. No, really.
What are some of your favorite things?
Music-wise, I appreciate orchestrals and instrumentals; artists along the lines of Two Steps from Hell, and Audiomachine.
Food-wise, I find anything tastier than gently-seasoned potting soil tends to be a smash-hit at the dinner table, but Asian cuisine really has a sweet spot with me.
I also like miniatures! I was really big into WarMachine around the time it first came out, and played every week with a friend. (I'm a Cryxian kind of guy.)
Finally... peace and quiet. There's nothing like a nice atmosphere of stillness. Even on a game like Minecraft, just hearing the rain beat on the roof is relaxing. (but watch out for creepers, yo. In real life, too!)
What's the one thing in the universe that you just can't stand?
I think you'll find that the universe pretty much covers everything.
But seriously. Can't stand? People who waste your time. Or my time! People who just don't "get it," whether because they simply can't, or simply won't.
What are you working on these days to make yourself a more amazing person?
Pyrography. While it could be called just a fancy word for woodburning, it sounds cooler.
