Gaming, music, music, music and more gaming! Movies and select TV shows. Reading Fantasy/Scifi. Martial arts, particularly western(European) swordsmanship. ===============================

TV: Battlestar Galactica, Lost, House MD, Southpark, Venture Brothers, Legend of the Seeker, Fringe, Firefly! Movies: I don't think I could even list them all here ===============================

I started out like a lot of kids did in the early 90s with alternative rock, but thankfully Fear Factory gave me the swift kick in the ass I needed and set me down the path of Metal. I dig select trance too, mainly Psy/Goa. My collection of movie/game/anime soundtracks is also quite large. =============================== The big list of metal bands, in alphabetical order; After Forever, All That Remains, Amon Amarth, Apocalyptica, Arch Enemy, At The Gates, Blinded Colony, Bloodbath, Blood Stain Child, Callenish Circle, Children of Bodom, Dark Age, Dark Tranquillity, Darkest Hour, Dawn of Tears, Deadlock, DevilDriver, Diablo, Disarmonia Mundi, Draconian, Dragonforce, Ensiferum, Epica, Fear Factory, God Forbid, Graveworm, Heaven Shall Burn, Imperanon, In Flames, Insomnium, Kalmah, Kamelot, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, Lamb of God, Mercenary, Meshuggah, Moonsorrow, Mors Principium Est, Naildown, Nevermore, Nightwish, Nightrage, Norther, Omnium Gatherum, Satariel, Scar Symmetry, Shadows Fall, Sirenia, Skyfire, Soilwork, Sonic Syndicate, Swallow the Sun, Testament, Unearth, Universum, Vespers Descent, Wintersun, Within Temptation. =============================== As you can see I enjoy quite a few different sub genres of metal, but I think the one common thread in all of the bands that I like is that they are all more on the melodic side of things. This is probably why most regular death metal and black metal doesn't do much for me. ===============================

Well I'm a huge fan of the Berserk manga, and fantasy in general. I'm also a big fan of RA Salvatore's work and I have all of the Drizzt/Forgotten Realms books.
