I don't really have any heroes, so i shall use this space for video games instead :)
Genres: RPGs, RPG/tactics, turn based strategy, real time strategy, silly sports games (ie something that involves go-karts or underwater soccer, not Madden or Turismo anything) i'll play FPS if people at work set up a game, but it's not really something i do too much of on my own.
Games: Final Fantasy; 1 is nostalgic, 4, 5 and 6 are wonderful. 7 is okay, 8 was a piece of crap. 9 was cool, and 10 was great. 11 looks stupid though and 12 doesn't seem too promising. FF Tactics was great, and FF Mysitc Quest was silly but fun in a brain-dead kind of way.
