RɘtroKing's Interests

General

My primary passion in life is Performing Arts - I love theatre, the stage and anything performance related. I trained as an actor, then became a Landscaper. 

I love sports, such as football ('soccer' to all you North Americans out there) and ice hockey (we call that one same thing)

Retro gaming!! From the NES era right up until the more recent PS3/Xbox 360 years (gaming isn't what it used to be!). My top 3 games of all-time are Final Fantasy VII, Skyrim and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.

Oh, and I'm a dad to a wonderful 5 year old boy too. ❤️ 



Music

I grew up loving grunge bands like Nirvana (obvs!), Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Nu-Metal such as Slipknot (seen them live 6 times), Korn and Limp Bizkit (Chocolate Starfish remains one of the greatest albums ever recorded imo). UK garage is a secret love mine too. And of course, who doesn't enjoy a bit of bit cheese every now and then?! Ace of Base and Backstreet Boys springs to mind, lol! 

Lastly, I pretty much hated and boycotted modern-day music on the grounds that "it's all trash!" but I gotta admit, that 'Paint the Town Red' tune by Doja Cat is a banger!


Movies

Too many to choose from but lately I've been seeking out more psychological thriller-type stuff - 'Predestination' is high up there as being one of the best I've seen in recent years. 

Huge fan of the Alien franchise, Predator, Star Wars, and basically anything else sci-fi.

And cult classics like 'Dark City' ✌️

Television

Drama, Fantasy and Sci-fi!

How good is the new 'Fallout' series!!! 😁 

Books

Plays:-

'The Pillowman' by Martin McDonagh

'Macbeth' by William Shakespeare

Books:-

Anything 'Lord of the Rings' related

Sci-fi novels, including anything written by Drew Karpyshyn

Heroes

All the people in life who gave me a chance. 

And An! For reviving what the Internet felt like in 2005.

About me:

Retro gamer; chocobo tamer, Championship Manager hall of famer 😏

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone! Although, preferably older people with similar tastes and interests. (no offence to the younger-Gen, but if you're a teenager, we simply won't have anything to talk about, and then it just becomes weird, right?! 🤷‍♂️ lol!) 

Is someone gonna re-do the original Habbo Hotel too?! If you're old enough to remember how awesome that was back in the day, we can definitely be friends! 🍻

Also, any comic cook artists out there?
