My ProfileAbout Me
About Me:
I am a stranger in a strange land, a Westerner in the Meat Grinder of the East Coast. I talk too slow, I'm too nice of a guy, and I will stab you in the face if your damn iphone wakes me up again.
Movies:
Movies have been on a constant rotation via BlockbusterOnline, mainly because I can then pick up new ones at the store.
TV Shows:
"It's Always Sunny in Philadephia" -- Fox
"Closer" -- TNT "The Daily Show" -- Comedy Central "Law and Order" -- NBC "Cities of the Underworld" -- History Channel "Ancient Discoveries" -- History Channel "Battlestar Galactica" -- SciFi Channel "Eureka" -- SciFi Channel "Ghost in the Shell, Standalone Complex 1 & 2" -- Cartoon Network "Aquateen Hunger Force" -- Cartoon Network All hail the Tivo. Of course, now that I have the boy and the girl, the tivo is chock full of NickJr/Disney shows. You know you've been paying too much attention when you're critiquing the problem solving methods of "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."
Books, Comics and Graphic Novels:
_Thieves and Kings_ (when it actually comes out.)
_The Sword_ _DMZ_ (Though this is not as good as Channel Zero) _Fables_ and _Jack of Fables_ _BPRD_ and its variants... _Mouse Guard_ (Not Mice Templars--that sucks.) _Conan_ _The Walking Dead_ _Wasteland_ ...mmm, future post-apocalyptic B&W _KotD_
Music:
Brandtson, Modest Mouse, DMB, Sting, Moby, The Killers, The White Stripes, Paranoid Social Club, Jack's Mannequin, Origa...I find itunes to be fantabulous.
Wizard Book Lines:
Forgotten Realms
Hobbies:
Brew beer, cook chinese, fencing, program, landscaping, be a busy dad. I love seeing what my brother finds at:
http://yourmomfanclub.tumblr.com/ I also write a lot...I did a lot of work for Living Greyhawk in the last years, I wrote Drag2-1, Discomfort. I also contributed to the Ennie winning Tales of Zobeck, Halls of the Mountain King (both editions), Wrath of the River King, Courts of the Shadowfey, Tales of the Old Margreve, Streets of Zobeck and Kobold Quarterly: http://www.koboldquarterly.com I like writing for Ars Magica, though, and I've worked on two projects for Atlas and help edit Sub Rosa: http://www.subrosamagazine.org
Likes:
A pitcher of hot saki, a plate full of sushi, a good house band, a pack of friends, and a cool summer night. It's a good place to start.
Dislikes:
Games where the focus is purely on combat. If I just wanted to smash mobs I'd go play Halo1-3, at least then I get to run them over in the Puma, err, Warthog. I need me some shared story.
My Games:
Acquire
Axis & Allies Betrayal at House on the Hill Diplomacy Dungeons & Dragons Magic: The Gathering Magic: The Gathering Online Risk 2210 Risk Godstorm RoboRally Star Wars Roleplaying Games
Other Games I Play:
Ars Magica, D&D3.5, 4E, Apocalypse World, Mouseguard, Pathfinder, CTHULHUTECH!, Conan, 7th Sea, Deadlands, CoC, Star Wars, Paranoia, D&D1/2E, MERP/Rolemaster, All Flesh Must be Eaten, Faery Tales. I'd love to try Fading Suns, or Colonial Gothic, maybe Exalted or Roma Imperious.

Easiest irl examples for 5min workday are:
You are doing a project...
You are working...
You are playing a team based sport...
...and have one person to join you who is really good at what you are doing, but she's such a primadonna or slacker that she'll only write really good A4/works for 5mins/gets score or two for your team and then...
