Movies
- Favorite Movies: Fellowship of the Ring, Spider-Mans, basically any _good_ comic book movie, Signs, Star Wars, Toy Stories
- Favorite Actors: Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, Gregory Peck, and Johnny Depp. I'm not big on actresses.

- Actor that would play me in a movie: I'm betting on Jake Gyllenhaal or Tobey Maguire. Maybe Joaquin Phoenix?
Video Games
- Games I Play: How about my favorite games of all time? Knights of the Old Republic (both), Jedi Knight II, Tie Fighter . . . it's pure coincidence these are Star Wars games. Lucasarts is just an incredible publisher.

- Gaming Alias: Kerm_Baggins, incognitoinlatin, Kerm_Vader
- Favorite Classic Arcade Games: I'm a pc guy, so that'd be Commander Keen.
- Most Addictive: Hmmm . . . would that be the game I played the most hours of? That'd be Guild Wars. Or would it be the game I've beaten the most times? That'd be Jedi Knight II, Half-Life 2, and KOTOR II. (Tie. But, again, pure coincidence these are all sequels.)
- Proudest Achievements: Probably beating Commander Keen 6. It was the first game I totally played through. Maybe beating the adventure game on HomestarRunner. It's the only adventure game I've ever beaten without cheating . . . :-P

- Songs I hate: How about the whole group of artists who produce songs with inane lyrics and music? I won't name names . . .
- Guilty Pleasure: Pop-rock . . . as long as it passes a low threshold of intelligence . . . this low threshold excludes an enormous amount of music, however.
- Songs I repeat the most: Pompeii
- Band I wish I was in: Media Ventures. Not a band, but an organization of movie composers headed up by Hans Zimmer. Harry Gregson-Williams (Shreks, Chronicles of Narnia), Klaus Badelt (Pirates of the Carribbean), John Powell (hmmm . . .) and a few others got their start there.
