Shockrider, 37

Fighting for truth, justice and the video game way Just your average gamer guy trying to find his way in the world. I'm a journalism student at UNC-Chapel Hill and I want to be a copy editor (read: proofreader) when I get out. I love video games of all types except those like Guitar Hero/Rock Band because I'm terrible at them.

I also like creative writing, and I want to be a fiction author one day. If you're wondering how that mixes with being a journalist, then yeah, I'm not sure how that worked out, either. Messed up world, huh? I write fan fiction (good fan fiction) for fun.

Other interests include anime(DBZ/Naruto), Star Wars, games (KotOR), watching good machinima, movies and/or RiffTrax.

I'm a night owl, and on nights when I don't have early classes the next day, I can be up as late as 4 or 5 a.m.

I'm also very laid-back. My idea of a perfect vacation is to go to a nice hotel with room service and doing absolutely nothing. I don't mind going to clubs or bars (going once a week or so is fun), but I don't like going out somewhere every night.

As my profile hints, I'm a bit overweight. I'm not massive, and the body fat percentage charts I've seen online put me at above normal, but below obese. I don't need a crane to lift me out of my room, and I don't need butter to get out of my car.

I'm a romantic at heart, I'm chivalrous and respectful, I love to laugh and especially to make others laugh.

In a relationship, I guess the key factor would be a love (or intense liking) of video games. I remember situations in WoW where guildmates would pull girlfriend/wife aggro because he spent all his free time there. I'd just prefer that video games aren't an issue so we can both pwn people together. Watching anime or regular movies is great, too, lots of fun to be had.

Also, being laid-back, like me, is a plus. I'm not easy to upset or aggravate, and I'd prefer the same from my partner. Night owls, preferred, but not required.
