See my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pandora.com\/profile\/timothy.hanson\">Pandora<\/a> playlist for the types of things I like listening to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Games<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nintendo Standards: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and any spinoff<\/li>\n<li>Blizzard Titles: Warcraft\/Starcraft\/Diablo<\/li>\n<li>Square\/Enix Classics: Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana<\/li>\n<li>Fighting Games: Marvel vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter Series, Soul Calibur Series<\/li>\n<li>Rock Band\/Guitar Hero<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m kind of a Nintendo fanboy, but I&#8217;m willing to play games on any system so long as they are fun.
