Interests & Hobbies

Scuba diving is the biggest one, I also enjoy range days and putting holes in paper, swimming, and a variety of other activities. I also low key keep my hand in archaeology and continue to be fascinated by Carthage.

Favorite Movies

I have a serious weakness for Hong Kong action movies from the 70's through the 90's. And 00's. And 10's. And 20's... Not just the Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung ones. Like, all of the them. I love watching them!

Favorite TV Series

Live Action

I like classic shows like Columbo, Red Dwarf, Space: Above and Beyond, Stargate SG1, and a lot of British comedy. But I've definitely got time for modern shows though, and stuff like Black Lightning and Murderbot are at the top of the list there!

Cartoons

I watch a lot of cartoon, they're one of my favourite forms of western media. Faves here include the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited series, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Young Justice, Teen Titans Go!, and things like the old Iron Man and Hulk: Agents of SMASH shows.

Anime

I like anime. I enjoy stuff like Restaurant to Another World, Flying Witch, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and classics like Bubblegum Crisis, Ruin Explorers, and Armor Hunter Mellowlink. Love the VOTOMS series, and a lot of Macross as well.

Favorite Games

Videogames

I enjoy a lot of classic JRPGs, we're talking 16bit stuff, and I do a lot of handheld console gaming (PSP, GBA, DS Lite, 3DS...). I'm also a giant fan of GTA V, and play a lot of arcade style racers like NFS Heat, NFS Unbound, and Forza Horizons 5. Never got into MMORPGs though.

Tabletop RPGs

Traveller is always a favourite, and I've enjoyed FATE's different versions, I have a love/hate relationship wiht Open Legend, and I have so many notes from back in the day from TriStat dX and Fuzion. Fantasy wise, I enjoy Pathfinder (both editions) and Basic Fantasy.

Board & Card Games

I love classics like Scabble and newer games like Onitama. I know no mercy and ask for none in Uno.
