bob's Interests
|
| General | Geeky:
Videogames. Roleplaying. Persuading my computer not to die horribly on me. Learning obscure facts about things like Tree Frogs on Wikipedia. Updating this fucking page ¬¬
Less geeky:
Going to clubs (and occasionally festivals) in order to listen to mercilessly loud and blissfully antisocial music. Trying to write interesting things. Current affairs and The News. Cooking alarming (and occasionally edible) foodstuffs. | | Music | Loud! With real guitars!
Currently: Celtic Frost, Enslaved, Strapping Young Lad, DragonForce, Throwdown, Darkest Hour, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Coheed & Cambria, Stormtroopers of Death etc.
Lots of other stuff. Some of which will make you sigh, and shake your head slowly from side to side.
Like MC Frontalot. Or Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. | | Movies | In general: too much scifi and cheesy action crap to even list. However, edited highlights would include:
Anything by John Woo (except for Broken Arrow), anything with Chow Yun Fat (yes, even Bulletproof Monk, Replacement Killers and.. Urr.. That shitty one with Mark Wahlberg..) Banlieue 13, Transporter 1/2, Serenity, Dazed and Confused, Transformers the movie, Almost anything with Vin Diesel (I don't know why.. he just exerts a strange fascination..), classic action - Die Hard / Lethal Weapon / Leon - jingoistic war movies - Blackhawk Down, / Behind Enemy Lines etc.. Apocalypse Now, Das Boot and urr, The English Patient, Any Given Sunday and Air America.
That'll do for now. | | Television | Lost / 24 / Arrested Development / The Mighty Boosh / Red Dwarf / Babylon 5 / American Gothic / Hollyoaks (only when hallucinating with sleep deprivation) / Sopranos / Pokémon / Johnny Bravo / Wing Commander the Cartoon Series / Space Above and Beyond | | Books | Any Cthulhu Mythos, most Stephen King (Dark Tower 4tw), earlier Tom Clancy, earlier William Gibson (esp. the Sprawl Trilogy), JG Ballard, Brett Easton Ellis, David Mamet's "The Village", Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, Anything by Tolkien except for the Silmarillion, Alastair Reynolds, any Wilbur Smith novel involving adventure on the high seas, old-school Alistair McLean thrillers, anything by Ian Fleming (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang excepted), Transmetropolitan (well, it's a comic...) | | Heroes | Chris Roberts. Iain M. Banks. Ian Fleming. David Braben. The guys at Red Octane that made Guitar Hero. Chino Moreno (although if his head gets any fatter he's coming off this list..) |

bob's Blurbs |
About me:
Scottish. Part wookiee. Currently residing in Highbury, London, just down the road from the new Arsenal stadium which looks like some sort of giant spaceport.
Fond of Carmenere, PC games that require a joystick, money and power.
I also like olives. Some day I will go for dinner at Le Gavroche, but not soon.
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Eric Chahi. I'd give him a big hug and thank him for making the greatest videogame ever.
Bram Cohen. Inventor of BitTorrent and Accidental Warez God - also in need of a hug.
