Listening to and finding new music is one of my main hobbies - I have over 9,000 songs in my Spotify playlist, ranging from Slipknot to Beyonce to Alice in Chains and Rihanna.

For Christmas 2010, I received an Xbox 360 Slim bundled with a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Mass Effect 2. Modern Warfare 2 became my favorite game and my weekends were spent playing whenever I had permission to use my Xbox, beating the campaign for the 50th time in a row until my disk stopped working (story for another time). Then came Mass Effect 2 a few months later, and I've been gaming ever since.
