Zelda Gamer

In recent years, I have gotten into Zelda games; I've beaten Twilight Princess twice and Ocarina 3D once, currently working on Skyward Sword. I have always found it interesting the amount of variety they put into these games, both between each game and within the world they create. Bravo to Nintendo!
If you are looking into buying a Zelda game, I recommend any of the three I've played; the difficulty levels are similar, but the mood ranges from dark (Twilight) to light (Skyward Sword). 
If anyone has anything to say, feel free to comment :)

Eccentric Music Listener

I have always had a firm belief in the importance of music; music has a way of expressing the best of life in a way that others can understand. That being said, I listen to many different kinds of music; I enjoy 80's soft rock, alternative, instrumental, some techno/pop, and also some Indie Rock Bands. Most artists only have one song, and a few have albums, on my IPod.
If you are looking for some new music, I recommend these artists;
The Pianoguys (also on Youtube)
Imagine Dragons
Chicago
Honor Society, and
Switchfoot

Clean Movie Follower

Hey all! Some of you may be wondering what 'Clean Movie Follower means'; let me explain!
I have always loved watching movies, and recent years have amplified this love. The clean part means that, per my Mormon values, I only watch movies that are appropriate; no rated R, and PG-13 have to be screened before watching ( I use www.commonsensemedia.org to check how much/little junk is in it), and I always have to be careful, just in case. Movies can be great entertainment, and lots of fun for the family, but, as a favorite book character says; "Too many of us take great pains with what we ingest through our mouths, and far less with what we partake of through our ears and eyes." -Shallan, The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson.

Book-Devourer Extraoardinare

I have always loved to read books; once I learned how, I never really stopped. :) I particularly enjoy science-fiction/fantasy novels; my absolute favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. For those of you who have never heard of him, he is the man who finished an epic series written by Robert Jordan (The Wheel of Time) when he passed away, and has written a large number of other books of varying sizes (between 100 and 1000 pages). I highly suggest you visit his website and download his free book titled Warbreaker and sample his writing; then go buy his other books! His website is www.brandonsanderson.com. Check it out for yourself!

WOW player (when there is time/money)

today I'll talk about 'WOW player when there is time/money'. I absolutely love playing World of Warcraft, but i rarely have enough money to justify paying the $15 a month to play. Instead, when my computer allows, I play the free starter edition and sometimes the Public Test Realms. My highest toon is currently a level 80 warlock human, and I have many level 20 toons on the starter realm. 

Alright, let me know if anyone is actually reading by commenting :)

Die-Hard Pokemon Fan

Well, I thought that I would kick things off by explaining the different descriptions I listed in my previous post. Today is about Die-Hard Pokemon Fan. For many years I have followed Pokemon in some form or fashion; previously through the Television show, now mostly through the video game series. Currently, I own all but one of the Nintendo DS Pokemon games (Pokemon ranger) and I'm also involved in various aspects of these games. I have played two Nuzlockes so far, a FireRed that failed and a Black 2 that I did manage to complete. I recently started a Black Nuzlocke, and things are going well.
I am also involved in cheating and hacking (creating your own Pokemon game/playing others') though never in conjunction with the Nuzlockes. When I finish my current Nuzlocke, I intend to play through HeartGold, Diamond and Pearl Nuzlockes.

Well, if any of you viewers have any thoughts that you would like to share, please feel free to comment.
