Movies, Comics, Eagles Football, Video Games... all the "white and nerdy" stuff, I know. I have three level 70 characters in World of WarCraft, all on the Lothar server. Girthy the Hunter, Girthier the Priest and Angrywife, my beloved frosty mage. But I play in moderation, dammit! And, most importantly, I buy the toys for Robot Chicken!
Music
Anything from the 80's, particularly Def Leppard and Paula Abdul. Yup, that's right, I said it, dammit. Nirvana, White Stripes, Foo Fighters... Sarah McLachlan (still saying it, shut up), movie soundtracks, anything acoustic, Billy Joel, Prince, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Black Eyed Peas (Elephunk only, really), They Might Be Giants, Eminem, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Whitesnake (been done said, yo), and that one good Bush CD. And lately I've discovered Leonard Cohen, Feist, The Hush Sound and Katie Melua. It's all great, and yet it all pales in comparison to Guns N Roses. Yep, said it.

I'm Hugh Sterbakov, the co-creator and writer of Freshmen, from Top Cow Productions!
Freshmen II: Fundamentals of Fear
The Freshmen II trade paperback, collecting the entire series with new intros and a new back-up story, is now available in comic book shops and book stores across the country from Top Cow, co-created by myself and Seth Green, with yours girthily writing and Will Conrad and Jorge Correa providing the art.
I make stuff up. Then I write it down. Sometimes the people who read it laugh, sometimes they cry, here and there they bag and board it, often they use it to help decide whether to purchase video games, occasionally they pay me for it. Check out my comic book!
I also write for many magazines-- I've had over 700 video game reviews, previews and features published in such illustrious rags as Time Out New York, RZone, Official Xbox Magazine, Digital Diner, America Online, VideoGameSpot, Slam, Blitz, Hardball, SOE Worlds, Flux, Hit Parader and Xbox Live Gamer. I can be seen (almost) monthly in GamePro as Boba Fatt! Check out the mags!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who doesn't smell. Or is creatively bankrupt. Or both.
Check out my dog!

Seth does NOT have a MySpace site. I know there are a few out there, and people have gone to great lengths to make them look real, but they aren't. Same with the sites from the Buffy cast, and all of the Mila Kunis sites. All fake. Sorry.
CONGRATULATIONS HUGH, again!!! I've read every detail of Sophie's birth, I laughed, I cried, I got excited. Very happy for you and Lisa. Poor Boba, I hope he is better now!
Well, we all will find out soon enough, won't we!?! Couple weeks I can wait...Imagine when she'll grow up she'll be going with you to all the conventions and everywhere, wouldn't it be AWESOME!!!
It WAS very funny!!! The first week when I noticed it I was sooo surprised to see "my favorite" shirt in the show I jumped out of my sofa and ran to my closet and put it on. My husband was like "you are in sane" and I was like "no, I am a fan, and proud of it!!!" Next week I put it on long before the show started!
Btw are you coming to New York Comic Con next year? It's in February!!! Pleeeease do!!! I and sooo many other east coast fans want to see you !!!
Hey Hugh!!! Did you watch "Heroes" last 2 weeks? Breckin Meyer wore "The beaver shirt" in it!!! Both weeks I am like the nerdiest nerd wore it while watching the show. Am I crazy or what!?!You have no idea how happy and proud I am to own that piece of clothing!!! I wonder why Seth didn't wear it though...
