User:Tim Botha/Interests





My interests
I pride myself in trying to be an open minded person, at least when it comes to my own interests, and as such I have many different interests that I have started to list below

Development
I am a developer, and as such I have a great interest in coding, but as a student of multimedia I also have a great interest in design. This means that I am invested in creating clean reusable code as well as using HCI and UX principles to create user friendly interfaces.

Games
Another one of my interests is games, both playing games and developing them.

Playing games
My gaming interests are varied to say the least as I enjoy playing games from many genres like:


 * RPG (Role playing games)
 * Table top RPG
 * FPS (First person shooters)
 * RTS (Real time strategy)
 * Strategy
 * MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer online RPG)
 * Fantasy
 * Action
 * Fight
 * Racing
 * Horror
 * Thriller
 * Mystery

As you can see, I Like many different genres and choosing a favorite one would be tough, so most of the time I judge a game not on its genre alone, but rather on the story being told, the delivery of that story through the character interaction and game mechanics, the game mechanics themselves as well as the amount off fun I have while playing the game.
