About Me

The names Richard, I'm 22 and my treasured possesion is my hair...its been three years in the making...its taken that long to grow because the person who cuts my family's hair is evil and kept snipping it...when i finally took matters into my own hands its started to actually go somewhere and has gone past my shoulders now. Is that rambling? Course it is...but i've got to fill this other biography crap in and if i give to much away that stuffs pointless...
But i will say this...my ultimate aim is to become a games journalist, for a guy like me what could possible be better than being paid to play games and then tell other gamers about them? I honestly don't know what my chances are but i've stepped up my effort by checking the future publishing website often. I hope one day i can write "games journalist" in the career section of this site but for now its just gonna have to be factory worker...boo...
Pictures from my trip to the Wacken metal festival in Germany!
Homestarrunner.com is freaking awesome...it takes a while to get into cos of all the in jokes but its definately worth it...here's one of my favourite cartoons
I love the Arsenal and this goal says it all...Robin Van Persie...you became a god after this...
Final Fantasy VII on the Playstation is probably the most life affirming piece of media in my life...this video was taken from the movie Advent Children and is good enough to be held alongside the game...a fitting battle between one of my favourite heroes Cloud Strife and THE greatest villain of all time Sephiroth...
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
As you can see from the above video I love my videogames so i thought i'd show you my gamercard for me X360

And randomly: I quite like eating good food (though i'm not a critic or nothing, just give me a domino's pizza and i'll purr) and i kinda like porn...not the most honourable of hobbies but i'm away from my girlfriend about 2-3 weeks at a time so sue me...

I'd like to meet:

Hmm...can't say i thought about it too much but here we go..MALE:

Anders Fridén, Björn Gelotte, Daniel Svensson, Jesper Strömblad, Peter Iwers, Cesc Fabregas, Shigeru Miyamoto, Chow Yun Fat, Arsene Wenger, Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee(RIP), John Woo, Alexi Laiho, Tuomas Holopainen, Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris, God!, Daniel Wu, Nicholas Tse, Kevin Smith, Tom Cruise, Jason Lee, Bill Bailey, Seth McFarlane, Matt Heafy, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, Daniel Craig, Hideo Kojima, Quentin Tarantino, Robin Van Persie, Tomas Rosicky, Chuck Fucking Norris, in fact most of the Arsenal squad, Matt Groening...and probably many more to be added...

Dark Force Rising 3. The Last Command), And Another good one is Popcorn by Ben Elton (very similair to the movie Natural Born Killers but still great)
