As far as my gaming interests...since I can't put "ALL", i'll try and explain a bit further. I try and play a little bit of everything, catching all the major releases while also finding the time to enjoy some of the smaller titles. While I do enjoy the overabundance of shooters and occasionally play online, I mostly enjoy diving into a deep, immersive single player experience. I'm one of those weirdos who also likes the quirky titles over the blockbusters...the odd, original pieces of goodness that eek there way onto stores every now and then. Basically, I prefer things that are different from the norm rather than 'popular online shooter of the week', although those are good too. Damn, i'm even confusing myself at this point, so i'll shup up.
I am also a deep-seeded Retro gamer. I've kept every game and system that I have ever owned, and still play many of them regularly. Gotta keep that 8-Bit goodness alive and kickin!
Way too many to list. Look at anyone else's Favorite Movie list and you pretty much have mine. No...seriously...do it. Is "The Dark Knight" on there? GASP!!!! How about "300"? NO WAY!!!!
So yeah...all the movies that are somewhat decent and everyone else likes...I probably like em too.
Oh, and I am obsessed with bad movies. I am talking the worst of the worst. Best one I have seen recently? Gymkata. Gymnastics + Martial Arts + a guy named Thor= nonstop hilarity.
Love to read graphic novels when I get the chance. Not sure which would be my favorites, though I did dig the hell out of Batman: Year One recently.
I LOVE game music, namely the music of Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. I also dig a lot of the Video Game Rock that has been showing up in recent years, namely the Minibosses, the Advantage, and the NESkimos. If you haven't heard their stuff, seek immediately...you shall not regret it.
Other than that, mostly rock/alternative = The Killers/Offspring/Paramore/Weezer/Queens of the Stone Age/Go Betty Go/The Sounds/The Racentours/Flyleaf/Hives/White Stripes and a buttload of others
Kotaku/Joystiq/CheapAssGamer/Neogaf/AintItCool/Penny Arcade/I Can Haz Cheezburger...I would provide links, but I am sure you know them.
Almost too many to list at this point, yet I try:
Battlestar: Galactica, The Shield, Alias, Heroes, Lost, 24, The Office (both), Arrested Development (!!!), Veronica Mars, Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, Batman TAS, Devil May Cry, Buffy, Extras, Icons, The Job, MST3K, Newsradio, Prison Break, Spiderman Animated, X-Men Animated, South Park, Old School Simpsons/Family Guy
That really wasn't that many after all...
Aside from gaming, I am an avid skiier/photographer/video-maker/swimmer/moviefile/internet-junkie...but yeah, mostly, I game.
About slamvanderhuge
First off...I am pretty much on Xbox Live ALL THE TIME...so feel free to send me a msg/add me. I'd be happy to play you in 'insert random game title'. I also usually throw the PS3 on at least once a day, so feel free to msg/add me on there as well.
As for my love for gaming, I am obsessed with everything, from the culture to the history, and obsessively check Joystiq/Kotaku to soak up every last morsel of delicious gaming goodness.
Aside from gaming, I am a fairly typical 26 year old guy. Spend the weekends being a manchild with my overly outgoing friends or with my wonderful girlfriend Ashley, who is also a gamer (though I do get the odd look every now and then when she sees me playing some of the quirky ones...)
Oh, and I am also attempting to break into the industry through XNA Game Studio, which is a fantastic game programming dingy. I am still learning to program, which is rough, but I hope to one day have a game out there for people to complain about on the internets!
