My favourite games are:Super Mario series, Metroid series, Zelda series, Pokémon series, Resident Evil series, Wario Ware series, Shadowrun(SNES), Super Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Mega Man 2, Secret Of Mana, Tales Of Symphonia, Viewtiful Joe 1+2, Okami, Eternal Darkness, Metal Gear Solid+Ghost Babel, Blood(PC), Hexen 2(PC), Strife, Alien Vs.

I have no life, people. ;(
I also love Irish/Japanese/Norse/Greek mythology, dragons, Norway, soccer (whenever Liverpool decide to play :p), WWE/ECW/WSX/TNA, supernatural phenomena, fantasy, endless holidays to Camp Cuckooland, anything black and anything medieval or pagan (Notice how it says 'pagan' and not 'politics'). Stay true, never acquiesce!!
I'd like to meet:
Shigeru Miyamoto. For many years, his games have been the escape from reality I have so often needed and that's still the story to this day. So I'd like to thank him and Super Mario and buy them both a sake. I'd also like to meet all those iconic metal frontmen like Rob Halford, Tom Araya, James Hetfield and whoever else I haven't met. Oh, and of course you guys, so drop me a line.
However, I think it's stating the obvious from the About Me caption that if you don't like at least one of the above, or any of the bands mentioned below, it's pointless talking to me 'cos I won't be talking back. It's nothing personal: I've met fantastic people that don't share my interests, but I just think you'll find a better, more like-minded friend elsewhere. Also, there's the small matter of the fact that most of my friends are people I know in person or know through other chatroom forums. So don't take it personally if I don't accept your friend requests, bands especially....
