I'm going to love doing this about as much as you enjoy reading the daily influx of these tag blogs. Speaking of which, I blame this guy for their prevalence on websites today.

1) Every post I make on GameSpot with the exception of a few blogs (like the Bloodstock ones) are made off the top of my head. I don't take time to think of witty responses or anything, everything is done in the spur of the moment.

2) It's no secret that I'm a fan of Metal. I have been for as long as I can remember. Sure, I had a wee period where I liked Punk too, but I quickly came round to my senses. These days, you'll likely find me listening to Saxon, Helloween, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Hibria, Firewind, Threshold and bands of that ilk

3) I play bass. I currently own a Vox White Shadow, BC Rich Bich and Yamaha Unnamed 5-string. I'm currently trying to learn some more Candlemass songs. Leif Edling could just be the most underrated bassist ever.

4) I feel like punching holes in walls whenever I hear that stupid Black Eyed Peas song "Tonight's gonna be a good good night". I bet you can't guess what song my sister just started playing

5) I'm a fan of alternate history. Wether it be Steampunk, Dieselpunk or "what if" scenarios from real history. In the video gaming world, Crimson Skies and the Scotland 1924 level of TimeSplitters 3 suffice. But more are needed, and soon. Games set in a post-apocalyptic world are also cool, wether it be in the future or the past.

6) I had a serious eye problem once at age 6. I had optic neuritis in both eyes, aparently the first ever case of it in Falkirk district. It resulted in me spending almost two months in hospital and being practically blind for a good portion of it. I say practically because I could distinguish shapes, but I could barely see. To this day I still have no idea how they cured it, but it inolved the extraction of spinal fluid whilst I was awake. Thankfully, I can't remember that. I have to wear glasses all the time as a result. And the man from Specsavers said I was lying. That's also why I take personal offence when someone who is quite clearly the funniest person alive says "Should've gone to Specsavers" to me. Bonus fact for you right there.

7) I've been to Auschwitz. I saw my visit there as more of a disproval of the assumed "facts" we have about Auschwitz and the Holocaust in general. It is amazing how many falseities are taught about the Holocaust through the media. Perhaps they are minute details, but for such a profilific disaster you'd think they'd want to present it just as it was.

8 ) I always thought that if I ever got tagged, I'd have to do the mandatory self-indulgent fact about my achievements...then I realised I have none. Except being fat. Yes, that is an achievement.

9) I have no idea why, but I notice excellent synergy between most Power Metal and cities and/or the night. No idea why, but I love it Nothing beats driving through a city at night listening to Hibria.

10) I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
