Username: Big Pete, duh, who came up with this question?

Real name: Robert Beaumont (Don't ask how I got my nickname, there's about 4 different versions and a 5th one currently being devised)

Birthdate: 29th of March 1990

Location: Brisbane. I live on a decent acerage just outside of Carindale with it's own pool. I have about three different bathrooms I use and two different bedrooms I sleep in depending on the situation. I'm looking forward to moving soon though to usher in the next phase in my life.

Likes: Namely I enjoy adventure and the art of talking about it. I like that feeling you get when you learn something new about somebody, something that encourages you to learn more about them. I enjoy discussing film, music and sport and I like trying new things.

Dislikes: I dislike my own lazy attitude, sometimes I go into this bad cycle of where a week can go by like that as I waste my time on really insignificant matters. I hate drama, which was ironic because I was so good at mostly inadvertedly causing it. Seriously, I was about as oblivious to my own flaws as Sheldon Cooper at times, boy did it make my teen years awkward...Never the less I think it's fair to say I hate pessimism, I hate people who say they can't do things without ever trying and I hate feeling hopeless. Thankfully I've been blessed with a great family and have been afforded a number of chances so I rarely feel as if there's anything I can't do.

Occupation: Still a student but at Grifftafe doing a journalism/film/literature degree which I'm now looking to convert into a crim degree so I can finally become Batman. I also work for my dad doing various jobs but mostly data entry.

Talents: I have relatively good memory and it retains all sorts of strange facts which makes me a wiz at games like Trivial Pursuit. Nate can probably attest that I become like Peter Griffin when I play that game, y'know, all shallow and pedantic.

Places Lived: I used to live in Perth, just near Hillary's Harbour until I moved back to Brisbane when I was 6. I only spent half a year there, including my first ever semester but it was okay. It just didn't feel like home and I never felt attatched to the place despite living in great house at a prime location.


PALGN
First Browsed: Check my join date. I didn't waste anytime lurking.

How Did You Hear Of PALGN: My big bad cousin Matthew told me about it when he was the editor here and I just jumped on board.

Members You've Met/Know In Real Life: I introduced a lot of members to this website including mangaman and I'm sure NaTe learnt of this place either through me or a friend who learnt of it through me. I also met Wardie at a random uni party. Will definitely have to remedy this later sometime.


Gaming
Prefered Company: I was raised a Nintendo fanboy and I think I'll always have a soft spot for them as evident by how easily charmed I was playing the 3DS. Atlus probably comes close too given my fondness for Persona games.

Favourite Console: The best memories I have of gaming were on the N64.

Favourite Game: I'll never get over how enjoyable Banjo Kazooie was. That trivia level was probably one of the best moments in gaming, period.

Favourite Genre: I love exploring vast open worlds collecting items through various means.

Favourite Series: Super Mario will always be king with Zelda, Persona and Tales of ranging there abouts

Consoles/Handhelds Owned: Basically all of them.

How Many Games Do You Own (Roughly): 200+ I'd estimate

Entertainment:

Favourite Movies: I namely enjoy works by auteurs as opposed to just stand alone films. Nolan, Wes and Paul Thomas Anderson, Cohen Brothers, Tim Burton, Hitchcock, Capra Fincher and Wright are among my favourites.

Favourite Songs: Right now, Pap Smear - Crystal Castles. I feel like I'm in Phandora Mines dancing with Metroids.

Favourite Actors: I can watch just about any film/show with Joseph Gordon Levitt in it. Not sure what it is, he's just a favourite of mine.

Favourite TV Shows: I don't watch enough tv, or should I say enough good tv. I'm one of those guys who'll mostly watch sport or trash television on MTV/VH1 just for a laugh. I'm trying to turn this all around but I just don't have enough time to invest. With that said I've been watching It's Always Sunny, American Dad, The Simpsons (Seasons 3-6 only), Skins (UK only), Angel (need to see more), How I Met Your Mother and Arrested Development. I've also been watching a bit of anime, namely Haruhi Suzumiya and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Eventually I'll be getting into Gurren Lagann and Code Geass
