Once your broken, shape don't matter...

About Me

I like stuff, and things.

My Interests

Don't flatter yourself, Most likely not you...

I'd like to meet:

Someone that can put humor over morality, loves video games of all shapes, colors, flavors, and styles (and is good at them), yells at the refs through a TV during March Madness with me, yells at the umpires at a baseball game in real life with me, can name at least 20 80's NBA players, loves to eat out, appreciates great movies and art, watches and enjoys cartoons, and has absolutely adorable eyes... is that to much to ask?

About my top 8... They say that humans only have the ability to keep 30 people at a close emotional level. Basically, we only have the capacity for 30 "friends" (acquaintances is somewhere around 100). Therefore I limit my friend’s list to 30 people and the top 8 are those who I have seen the least recent, so if you are on the top 8 you could be disappearing soon... You may need to make special arrangements to see me (no, an email doesn’t count). Or you can fall off my friends list, its up to you (I’m indifferent). So sayeth The Bret.

Music:

Wide Variety, and really my mood changes daily but some classics I find my going back to time and time again are: Lisa Loeb, Anna Nalick, Rilo Kiley, Jack Johnson, Howie Day, Ben Folds Five (the five must be included), Kanye West, The Doors, Cake, and the Eels.

Movies:

I will watch anything once. I find myself drawn to directors/producers like Gilliam, Miyazaki, and Burton. I think I enjoy a strong sense of imagery and these directors generally provide that.

Television:

Discovery Channel, ESPN, Comedy Central, History Channel, VH1, Food Network... In that order.

Books:

I like textbooks and design books as well as news articles and reviews. I have published features on Gamasutra.com, if you are interested in reading my stuff please contact me. I also like short stories and poetry. I never have to time to sit and read a novel or I am sure I wouldnt mind that either.

Heroes:

Don Hertzfeldt. Here is the new trilogy from this genius of animation. If you havent seen his other stuff please do so imediately. Watch in order from top to bottom:

Fondest Memories...

Throughout the last few months with everyone getting married, having kids, and generally growing up I have been going though a sort of "What does it all Mean" phase. In going through this I have reme...
