[edit] My likings in a nutshell

[edit] Game Shows

I love game shows. No, really. I have almost 70 tapes and hundreds of hours of various game shows. I probably even have episodes of shows you've never heard of, like Baby Races. While my interest in them has waned over the years, I still occasionally watch GSN, as well as holding a modest tape collection.

My favorite game show host? The late, great, Ray Combs. Although other people such as Bill Rafferty, Marc Summers and Dick Clark would probably high up on that list.

Favorite Game Show? The $25,000 Pyramid. I don't know why, but that's always been my favorite. Other favorites include Double Dare, Wheel of Fortune (the 80's-90's episodes moreso than now), Family Feud, Card Sharks and The Price is Right (because my grandparents watched it every day, and it's somewhat of a memoriam).

[edit] Video Games

Currently the owner of various game consoles going all the way back from the Atari 2600 up to the original Xbox. My most recent purchase was a PlayStation Portable. While I tend to own Nintendo consoles, I do not mind Sony or Microsoft, and I wish them all good luck in the Next generation of video games.

I also play PC games occasionally. I support Valve Corporation and their Steam service. I play Half-Life modifications all the time. Catch me under this handle on Sven Co-op or The Specialists, or hell, any first-person shooter such as Doom. As opposed to my old PC which I had for three years (My advice: Stay away from any pre-built PC because it sucks for gaming) I actually have a decent computer that can run recent games much better, thanks to my Nvidia GeForce 8500GT.

[edit] Music

I like music. More specifically, game show themes, instrumentals and video game music. Some of my favorite composers include:


However, this does not mean I do not listen to other types of music, it's just I have varied tastes.

[edit] Computers

I got into computers early, working with Apple Macintosh computers in elementary school before we finally got a computer in 1995. Since then, I'm almost always near a computer. While I might not be able to use programming languages, I know a couple solutions for commonplace problems (such as adware, spyware and virus removal.)

I also use Mozilla Firefox almost all the time, and am a supporter of the browser (even with its memory leaks). My computer currently has the hiccup that is Windows Vista instead of the much more stable, less-DRM restricted and less memory hog Windows XP, which sucks. But I use Windows because Mac OS doesn't get many computer games (and when they do, it's usually 2-3 years after it's been released on Windows) and Linux seems too complex for me to understand.
