 * A shooting game (Very simple, and very easy)

Musical Taste is a very interesting thing with him, as bands which a lot of people like he tends to hate on principle. Reasons stated include:
 * 1) I'm not a sheep
 * 2) My musical tastes are unique, and so I'm unique
 * 3) Some of that stuff is horrible

He also is a musician, who plays the Piano, Trombone and Guitar. Mostly Jazz is played on Piano and Trombone, but not on guitar, as 'It's too hard, and I imporvise better on Piano anyway'. On guitar, he plays Dropkick Murphys songs and Ska songs.
