fun facts

• I have an unmistakable laugh! It often changes over time, going from deep and hearty to a high cackle, but rest assured there's no laugh like mine!
• I love to play around with my voice, experimenting with different impressions and accents. I would love to get into professional voice acting someday...
• There are some days where my brain takes a creative turbo boost and I can't stop myself from daydreaming about new gameplay ideas. I've made an effort to note down the best ones so far as they come to me. I plan to share with you more of these ideas on the "game dev stuff" page; if that's something that interests you, please feel free to check it out! There may even be snippets of work in progress games, too...
• My head can be rather quick witted with puns when it wants to be. I often end up just blurting them out as soon as they occur to me, regardless of whether they're any good or not.
• I really enjoy horror media, but I'm terribly squeamish with gore...
• I've dabbled in being a DM for my close friends, having ran a horror one-shot and a tongue-in-cheek sci-fi campaign in d&D 5e. I found writing the lore and settings for everything a lot easier than actually running the sessions, though I believe that's a common feeling and definitely something that becomes a lot easier with experience.
• I once won a Smash 4 tournament back in uni and received a really crappy portable phone charger as my prize. whippee
• I once pulled a foil Jace the Mind Sculptor card from an Eternal Masters booster, valued at £150 at the time! Unfortunately, powercreep got to him and he's no longer worth that much, but somehow I had the foresight to sell it to someone for a non-foil copy and the difference in cash, which was £50! What a steal! I still have that Jace in my high-value binder.
• I have photic sneeze reflex; a rare and harmless condition where sudden exposure to strong light often triggers a sneeze. ACHOO!!

favourite foods

I tend to enjoy savoury and spicy flavours in general! Here's a few favourites I can think of:

• Smoked Haddock Chowder
• Jambalaya (Tasted so good to me that it permanently changed my opinion on celery. That together in the holy trinity of peppers and onions are the king!!)
• Clam Chowder (Had this on a skiing trip a while back and I've yearned for the taste ever since; sadly it's hard to find clams for chowder in the UK since no one really stocks clam juice.)
• Calabrese Pizza (Rudy's do a killer pizza; they're my #1 recommendation if you're in brum, or wherever there happens to be a Rudy's chain.)
• Hot wings
• Lamb Madras, with rice & garlic naan
• Singapore fried rice (chicken, pork and prawns, all together in a fried rice seasoned with curry powder.)
• Cheesecake (All varieties and flavours are great, but if I had to pick only one... baked vanilla cheesecake!)
• Joe's Ice Cream (A welsh brand of ice cream that simply cannot be beaten. If you ever go to Wales, make sure to get yourself some... and be sure to get vanilla!)

favourite drinks

• Dr. Pepper, straight out the can
• Neck Oil IPA
• Pint of Guinness... classic
• Coffee (Very partial to a latte or a flat white. On a hot day I love a good frappe or iced latte. Irish coffee is also an evening favourite!)
• Tea; milk and sugar please... and let the bag stew for a bit. (Some people think you can only like tea OR coffee, but trying to tell a bisexual to pick only one is a fool's errand.)
