About
I have a rather unhealthy obsession with anything to do with Sweden. I am extremely passionate in anything that I believe in. I play in a band with Ronny. We are called Sacrifice the Few:

Games
I’ve been playing games ever since I could use the command line of a C64. Obsession was increased to an unhealthy level when the Sega Master System and NES were released and increased as each new console was released.
Favourite games would be Fallout 1, 2 and 3, Super Mario Kart SNES, Bioshock, Uncharted, Streets of Rage 2.
Comics
I used to read a lot of comics when I was younger. But I just stopped for some reason. Thanks to Ryan, I’m getting right back into graphic novels. Which I am really happy about.
Favourite comics would be The darkness, Justice, Akira and I have a rather embarrassing obsession with Naruto (thanks Jack!).
Music
A mixed bag really. Metal, indie, punk.
Favorite bands would be Something for Kate, Slayer, Tiger Lou, Fireside, Helmet, Pantera, Thrice, Smashing Pumpkins.

Comics
I grew up with comics – what kid didn’t? They’re so accessible whether it be a short strip in the Sunday newspaper, or a comic book/graphic novel, they’re everywhere and always have been.
Being older now, I naturally appreciate comics on a different level these days and it’s great to go back through old issues and see the evolution of comics themselves and how they grew up with me. Comics have progressed so far throughout the years mirroring the society and age they are produced in allowing writers and artists to comment on the underlying themes and tones of the age.
Music
The thing I love most about music is that it is so subjective and holds a different meaning to everyone. For me, I feel as though music has created a soundtrack to my entire life and I would struggle to look at the significant events in my life without a certain song or type of music overlapping the memories. Now, if I pick up an album and listen to those songs again I’m immediately taken back to that point in time and I think that that for me is the core of music.
Currently I write and play music with Trev in Sacrifice the Few.
Games
Born into a generation where virtual table tennis & a game starring a fat, ape-like kidd who fights and challenges his enemies to a game of rock-scissors-paper was considered high tech, I’m completely blown away by the capabilities of today’s games and I can’t even begin to imagine what my children will someday be playing – ‘Daddy, I want a new neural implant for XMAS!’ ‘Sure son, jump into the jet-car & we’ll pop down to the shops and put one on lay-buy for you!’
I’m most at home with platform games and RPG’s – anything that requires me to think and that I can really immerse myself in.

About
I work in a book shop and am interested in all things literary. I love to travel and have many more destinations on my list of places to visit. Along with reading and travelling, my time is taken up with films, music and my vegie patch.
Music
I’ve always had a healthy passion for music but having discovered I have no aptitute for playing it, I’ve had to stick to enjoying other people’s. During my high school days I was always waiting for the next show or festival to come around and this excitement has followed me into adulthood. Living in the UK for a whilc saw my appreciation for music broaden and develop, and this is still changing. My musical tastes span a range on genres including indie, rock, pop and folk.
Games
As a child, my gaming experiences were limited to playing with a second hand Atari console, and Alex Kidd sessions with one of the neighbourhood boys. Now, I come across a game every few months that completely sucks my life away for a couple of weeks, then I sit out the following few months. The boys are trying to develop my interest further, so no doubt I’ll be spending more time couch bound in the future.
