And I like....and this....

This is the section where you find out what I like to do in my spare time (Although spare time is hard to come by these days!)

On Games...

My favourite hobby is playing games. I like all games but give me a new Final Fantasy (VII is my favourite), Metal Gear Solid or Legend of Zelda and expect me to disappear for a few days. I am also a big fan of fighting games expecially the good old 2d classics like Street Fighter and King of Fighters. One of my favourite games in the last few years is Shadow of the Colossuss. I wish I could forget every memory of playing that game so I could experience the emotions of the game again, just as they were meant to be experienced.

On Music...

My favourite band is Dream Theater. They are the pinnacle of progressive rock and instrumentation. One listen and I was hooked. The next week I had bought all of their albums. I also had the pleasure of seeing them cover Pink Floyds: "Dark Side of the Moon" at the Apollo Hammersmith and boy was that a night I will never forget. I am going to see them in newcastle in June and plan to catch as many nights of the World Tour during the summer as is physically possible!

I also like nearly all types of music. Progressive Rock is my favourite. I have a large music collection which mostly includes progressive rock, movie and game soundtracks, rock, pop, rap and classical.

The f# from heaven!!!

On Sport...

I love fencing and am not half bad either. I also like football. I support Manchester United home to the best player of all time: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I love Formula 1 and Ferrari. I also like my shiny Ferrari laptop.

On Film and TV...

I am a big sci-fi and fantasy lover. Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, BattleStar Gallactica etc. I try to see as many films in the cinema as I can. I also love Anime and Japanese cinema. Death note is my favourite anime and if you have not heard of it you should check it out.

On Collecting...

I am a big weapon collector. My favourite weapon is the Katana. It is beautiful and a great symbol of the balance of the mental and the physical. Check out the pictures of my ever growing weapon collection. I also collect game and film merchandise.

On Books...

Death Note. One word, fantastic. My favourite books would have to be Anne Rices' Vampire Chronicles. I rarely have time for reading, and when I do I am really slow so getting books finished is hard.

On Other interests...

I am currently learning Japanese from my roommate Yoshiki. He teaches me Japanese and I teach him english. I love the language and hope to visit Japan soon. I also like roleplaying and CCG's. I played a Jedi in a starwars game for 3 years and that was an experience that I will never forget.

Here are some of wallpapers that I have made. My favourite is the shadow of the collossus blend with the orion nebula. I also made a replica of the dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf in 3d Studio Max

Here are some pics of the pride of my weapons collection. It is a modern hand forged katana and wakasashi set from Japan and they are both beautifully balanced. They have been taken out of the scabbards only 6 times and each time recieved a proper clean and polish

Here is the rest of my weapons collection. Its always growing bigger and I am running out of space to put them now

Just had to put these in. They have been a staple on my desktop for years!
