Hello, my name's Brian, I'm 30 years old. I'm a computer programmer working the video games industry. I'm a nerdy guy who enjoys playing games (video and board), reading books, solving puzzles, playing guitar with my friends, watching hockey, I even play on a beer league team (although work has completely got in the way this season). I like to relax with friends, play sports, camping, fishing, going out for a walk.

I'm very open minded easy going guy who's very accepting of other people (to each their own right?). I'm happy with who I am, and who I have become over the years, I am really happy with how my life is turning out. I can be very sappy, you can usually find my heart on my sleeve. I love my family and friends, they are very important to me. I'd consider myself as quite knowledgeable, I love to learn and keep up to date with current events - world politics/news/science and technology. I'm pretty funny at times, I like to make people laugh and smile, with a sarcastic sense of humour, though I'm not limited to sarcasm. I can be witty and silly at times too. My friends and family tell me that I'm also quite clever.

I'm currently focused on my career working in the video game industry as a game play programmer. Simply put... i make video games :D

I'd consider myself a jack-of-all trades type person. I'm quick to learn and adapt to challenges. I love to learn, there's not very many subjects that don't grab my interest.

Probably my beardy face - it gets cold in the winter! and... summer. I've been told that I have really nice eyes.

They would probably notice how easy I am to get along with. Sometimes I can be shy or quiet, but that's just me listening and absorbing what's going on around me.

TV: Dexter, It's Always Sunny, Sherlock, Doctor Who, Star Treks, Game of Thrones, Community, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Castle, Shows about the Paranormal (I like ghosts)... Basically I will watch anything, all though I do not like to watch reality TV shows (with the only exception being Hell's Kitchen).

Books: I have varied tastes in books. I like sci-fi, suspense, horror, action, adventure. I have read books from different authors... Ben Bova, R.A.Salvatore, Leo Tolstoy, Mervyn Peake, Tolkien, Stephen King, James Rollins, George R R Martin (currently reading book 4 in a Song of Ice and Fire)... I'll essentially read any book that someone recommends to me, and will almost ALWAYS finish the book even if I'm not enjoying it.

Movies: Sci-Fi movies, watching bad B-Movies with my friends, Action... Comedy... I even love to cuddle up and watch sappy tear jerking romance movies.

Food:
- Sushi
- Pho
- Pub Grub, Burgers (chicken preferably), pasta, pizza..
- Traditional British food... you know.. Yorkshire puddings with roast beef and gravy, Shepard's pie...
- Indian cuisine
... I'll add more later

I was a VERY picky eater growing up, but in the last few years I have really expanded my horizons and will now try anything. Oh, but I still don't like raw onions (cooked is fine), cucumbers, and raw celery. I love garlic, i always put extra in when cooking, love the smell and taste. I'm not offended by garlic breath. I also love ginger.

Music: I can enjoy a lot of different genres of music from rock (& classic), classical, instrumentals.. as long as it has a good beat and melody I'm sure I will enjoy it! HOWEVER if you were to go through my play lists you would see it's dominated by sound tracks from video games. If you know what OCRemix is, than you have a better understanding!

1. My family and friends
2. Laughter
3. Internet (I'm not addicted, but It's such a wonderful resource for learning)
4. Good games with friends (video & board)
5. Cuddling up to a movie and snuggling in bed
6. Food, water and shelter

What am I going to have for dinner tonight...

But seriously, I tend to think about what's happening now around me. Things like.. How can I improve myself at work? How can i improve myself in a relationship?

Hanging out with my friends. Usually at someone's house where we play some video games or board games, and have a couple of drinks. Sometimes we do go out to a pub or bar. Sorry ladies, I'm not much of a dancer, I get too embarrassed.

I can be pretty sappy and smooshie.

I can listen to dubstep and enjoy it. yea, I just admitted that.

Do you have the same interests as me? If you think nerdy things are awesome... Remember, I make video games for a living; they are a big part of my life, this doesn't mean that I'd ditch you over a video game, but if you enjoy video games or don't care if I go to my buddies to play once in awhile then spectacular! But the most important thing is that you should only message me if you truly want to message me.

On the right, I left "Drugs" unanswered. I used to smoke marijuana regularly, but rarely do any more, maybe a bit once or twice a month? I've come to realize that it doesn't agree with me like before. My best friends however like to partake so there's that influence around; so, it's something you would need to be comfortable with.
