Favorite Games
I've been a fighting game fanatic for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite series include Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom.

I grew up religiously watching Sailor Moon on Toonami (#iykyk). However, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is one of my recent favorites (PS - My favorite Joestar is Joseph).

The PS2 is by far my favorite console. In fact, I recently bought a used PS2 console from an antique store and I'm revisiting classics like Tekken Tag Tournament and lesser-known titles like Namco X Capcom.
