Interests & Hobbies
Favorite Books:
currently reading: Dune, Starship Troopers, Jane Eyre
I read voraciously, and I'm particularly interested in classic literature, science fiction, and horror. Some of my favorites include I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Dracula, 1984, A Brief History of Time, The Good Earth, When We Die, Hairstyles of the Damned, Frankenstein, and anything by Edgar Allan Poe.
I also read a lot of manga, and my favorite currently is Dorohedoro.
Favorite Movies:
I'm really into animation, so my favorite movies are almost all animated. My favorite animator is Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the creator of Wicked City, Cyber City Oedo 808, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and World Record (which is part of the animatrix). His studio also released Redline, which is fantastic. I also like classic animation, like St. James Infirmary by Fleischer.
As far as non animated movies, I really like westerns, horror, and science fiction. My favorites include Alien, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, the Riddick series, Dredd, Blade, Mad Max: Thunderdome, Silence of the Lambs, The Host (directed by Bong Joon-ho), Jane Eyre (1944), But I'm a Cheerleader!, Lucky Number Slevin, Fifth Element...the list goes on.
Hobbies:
I have fantastic taste in everything, including hobbies. I enjoy making art, ruining marraiges, card games, writing, and playing video games.
But my biggest hobby is definitely video games - I've been playing since I was a kid. The first games I really got into were old PC games - particularly MYST, King's Quest, and the first Age of Empires. From there it was Majora's Mask / Ocarina of Time, Battletoads (I got past the hoverbike level, suck it), Duke Nukem 3D, Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time, Pikmin... and from there onto games like Okami, Mass Effect, and Dead Space. My favorite games are ones that have a really engaging story & atmospheric world. The aesthetic has to be good too, though, which is why I could never get into Kingdoms of Amalur or Bioshock Infinite.
I'm currently replaying Red Dead Redemption and Dishonored.
