Favorite Games

Simply going by time spent, I'd put Destiny and Destiny 2 among my favorites of all time. Bungie's incredible world combined with inimitable shooting gameplay is sublime!

Favorite Console

I've always loved the PS2 and PS3 era of games. So many classics are stuck in those not-so-little home machines!

Favorite Anime

It's been quite a while since I was able to keep up with seasonal shows, but K-On! will always be a favorite of mine.
