HOBBIES
I like playing video games (mostly RPGs, puzzle games, and MMORPGs), comics, cooking, drawing, writing, reading, accessing a wide array of art and music, snapping strange photos, researching weaponry and martial arts, action movies and other genres of movies with odd stories, going to ranges, and traveling. However, I'm game for just about anything and am willing to give things at least one try.
