Industry Focus

Indie Games specifically in the roguelike, RPG, and Metroidvania genres. Also, for AAA franchises, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.

Favorite Games

Too many to count but Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts, Super Mario RPG, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Rogue Legacy, and Moonlighter should paint a pretty solid picture.

Favorite Anime

Like games, there are too many to count but Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Kill la Kill, Case Closed, Gundam Wing, and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are all great examples.
