Hobbies and Interests
Interests
I enjoy hanging out with friends every occasion I get. I really love learning.
I love technology, certain TV shows and movies. I like to play games once
in a while. I love
the Lord, and truly enjoy studying
the scriptures. This page just describes some more detail of these and some
of my other favorite things.
Friends
My life is not complete without the wonderful friends with whom God has blessed
me. Each hold a very special place in my heart, and I'm eternally thankful
for all of them. They are the best friends the world has to offer. I
cherish each of them, and every moment spent with them.
TV Shows
If you know me well, you'll know that I absolutely love certain TV shows.
I tend to lean more toward drama than comedy, but usually the dramas I find funny
(making them awesome!).
Here's a list of the shows I love (the first two of which I don't miss an episode,
thank you TPB):
These are my favorites that are no longer running:
Gaming
As
of the writing of this page, my favorite game to date, and−in my opinion−the
best game in the history of the world is
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which I opt to play on the
Xbox 360.
Skyrim's greatest feature is an immense world ready for exploration−a
haven of escapism−not to mention the gorgeous scenery, a chillingly-perfect
score, incredibly cool quests, dungeons full of undead called Dragurs, and best of all−
Dragons!! All of this earns Skyrim hundreds of hours of satisfying gameplay (I've just logged over 230 hours, and still can't stop playing), and the number one spot on my video game list. My only bicker with Skyrim
is that you have to stop playing it. I'm definitely taking a week of vacation
the next time an Elder Scrolls title is released.
On the computer, I love FPS games (first person shooters), but since there are so
many, I am typically picky about the ones I choose.
With multiplayer, my first love is
Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike is a team based game where two teams
(Terrorists and Counter Terrorists) war on maps with various missions.
Another of my favorites is
Left 4 Dead 2.
Endless zombies. I feel you thinking, "I know, right?!"
As far as a single player games (other than Skyrim -- see above), I loved
Half-Life 2 (honorable mention for
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time). I also
really enjoyed both
Bioshock
and
Bioshock 2's
single player mode. All of these games (with the exception of Zelda) are considered
in the survival-horror genre -- my absolute favorite.
Movies
Speaking of horror, my favorite movie genre is horror, although the number of horror
movies that make my "absolute favorites" list is small, mostly due to the crap quality
of most entries in the genre. In any case, I love movies of all types.
I can watch children's movies (Up! was hilarious!), "chick-flix" (Twilight for the
win), action, etc. I am subscribed to
Netflix, mainly for the Instant Streaming feature. I also make it
a point to buy any movie I like, to support it. As a result, my friends joke
that my movie collection rivals Netflix or Blockbuster. haha.
My favorite movies to date are:
I've often said that if I had it my way, I would see every movie -- even bad ones
in the theater. As a result, I built a full-HD 1080p home theater with a 100
inch screen, 7.1 surround sound, and reclining leather theater chairs, in which
I enjoy these and many other movies.
Music
My musical tastes are fairly narrow. I like Christian music and some other
rock.
My favorite Christian artists are:
My other favorite artists are:
Holidays
I love Holidays, and the Christian ones like Christmas and Easter are a no brainer
for someone of my faith. But Halloween? I love it. I think its mainly
the memories of trick-or-treating. To me, it's just fun. But yeah...
I love Halloween.
