Wanted to call himself plain "RetroRocker", as this is the online handle he's been using for literally everything since 2004, but was told to use this alternate name with silly numbers in it because ""Retro Rocker" was already taken", annoyingly.
He generally only likes music between the mid sixties and the late eighties, although he isn't actually old enough to have seen it firsthand. Hell, he was only born in '88. Thin Lizzy are his favourite band, but he hardly ever listens to them anymore.
He's English and never takes himself seriously, due to an almost crippling sense of self-depreciating humour.
He loves Doctor Who (which ended in 1996), especially the 4th doctor era, and used to be a Warhammer 40,000 & Games Workshop devotee until he realised that he could instead use the money to teach himself how to play guitar. ..and bass. ..and keyboards. ...and drums.
He's a massive fan of the 1999 computer game "System Shock 2", and constantly seeks to remind everyone that it exists, should be played/owned by all gamers everywhere, is far better than Bio Shock, and should blatently be re-released, preferably on something like Valve's "Steam" content distribution system. (It now has!! Not to mention Gog.com re-released it first!!!11!1!1!)
Also is a fan of Red Dwarf, British comedy panel shows, Dirty Harry movies and G1 Transformers. In fact, most nerdy things, except japanesey stuff, which he never got his head around. Well, except Dragonball Z. And Gundam Wing.
...He also could be a massive hypocrite.
Also recently discovered he's largely a Knight in Sour Armour.
