Fantasy, Film and Fiction. These are the tenets I live by.
Ardent admirer of The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and D&D.
Often the oldest non-parent in cinema to watch animated movies, and proud of said observation.

Treasure Planet - Disney's Lost Trove
Treasure Planet (2002) is an underrated work of pure art and a labour of love. Many have written about its failure, and some have mourned the passing of one of Disney's final traditionally animated adventures; casualty to a gear-shifting pivot towards the new glorious age of computer generation.

Nostalgia Trip - The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
Oblivion hit me in all the right spots. Despite coming out way back in March 2006, it does not feel dated. Its vast visual appeal and genuine high-fantasy setting remain incredibly captivating. I spent many hundreds of hours within the game, creating at least six characters and completing the main quest line with four of them. Despite all of this time commitment, I am yet to feel anything resembling boredom when returning to this experience.

Handsome Jack – The Best Game Villain Ever?
Potential spoilers for any who have not completed Borderlands 2. So I will just admit right off the bat that I am a big fan of Handsome Jack (edit: very big understatement, consider revising at a later date). It makes me seriously question my morality, but I can't help but adore this guy - sure, he might have an ego the size of a small moon, he might be a bit of a sociopath and he has a penchant for choking people (oops, sorry — I meant strangling — big difference).
