Video Games
- Games I Play: Most anything except sports games (although I really dig on that track and field game for PSOne because we would always try to make the javelin thrower stab himself. It always looked possible if you angled it right, but I think the game developers had the foresight to make it impossible for dingleberries like us to pull off. Or they simply never animated it).

- Proudest Achievements: Being the only guy in Hawaii to own a copy of Carnage Heart, then accidentally breaking the disc for "Carnage Heart" when I moved to Japan, then re-ordering it on ebay only to find that it is one of the rarest PSOne titles ever. Oh, that and me really really liking Carnage Heart. You have to be a big-ass nerd to learn how to play that game and then really like it afterward.
