The Video Games Show's Co-Host Rich Bergin's Home

About Me

Co-Host of (the world famous) Video Games Show! BANG HOWDY Gangstas!!!

My Interests

The Video Games Show, Poker, Writing, Gaming (of course) Hanging Out, Dating, Movies and Photography.

I'd like to meet:

Hardcore gamers that still can maintain a social life and don't allow themselves to be completely eaten alive by a game (World of Warcraft players, I'm looking at you). Someone that can put up with me and all my faults without trying to change me every five minutes.

Music:

It is ever changing. This week it is about Gym Class Heroes, Dead Can Dance, Europa 51, Chingon, Husker Du and the 28 Weeks Later Soundtrack (John Murphy can take one basic sequence and just cause listeners to feel terror and relief at the same time).

Movies:

Recent Favs: Inland Empire, 28 Weeks Later, Dnevnoy dozor (Day Watch), and Grindhouse. Classic Favs: The Godfather, Roaring Twenties, Notorious, The Boondock Saints, The Brothers McMullen, Memento and Layer Cake.

Television:

House, The Black Donnellys, Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job, Entourage, The Twilight Zone (the original and best sci-fi show ever).

Books:

The Hot Zone (forshadowing the doom of our race), Less Than Zero, Mostly Harmless, Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep (aka "Blade Runner"), The Giving Tree (an absolute classic for kids and adults) and Talked to Death by Stephen Singular (the true story of Alan Berg, a talk radio host that was killed by an angry listener).

Heroes:

My Dad, The Men and Women in the Armed Forces, The Heroes of 9/11 and anyone that follows their dreams no matter what opposition they face.
