To give up the dark of me, I'm pretty much drawn into anything remotely entertainment related, whether it be movie, games, or books, to the hazard of everything else in my life. Decently well-rounded in literature, thanks more or less to being an English major, though given a choice between an understated Victorian drama and a novel with A) Wizards, B) Dragons, C) Assassins, D) Mongoloid Dwarfs, or E) Fallen Angels, I'm always with the latter. Even after studying abroad in England, which was kinda cool, I've never been able to give up my more whimsical trappings, nor have I been able to adopt the beret wearing, pseudo-intellectual pendants of the cultivated artiest. My favorite novel/novels vary on mood, but generally speaking, oscillate between Milton's Paradise Lost (how to italicize?) and any of Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy (again?). Love animation to death, though my best efforts at it have never risen above crippled stick men and pornography. Now, when I say animation, I mean cartoons in general, regardless of region and audience. I have a lingering love for comics book (or, to save face, graphic novels), but no real momentum to pursue them anymore, but I usually give anything a shot once it has been personally recommended. There, you have me in print. To end, I will plug my most favorite of things ever, which is the game Planescape: Torment. It runs roughly 800,000 words long, keeping stride with most books. It takes the best themes (you know, redemption, immortal hatred and revenge, love, friendship, conflict) and slams them in the best form possible, interactive fantasy, which is how I likes it.
