I like all sorts of games. From light cardgames to day filling wargames, from dexterity games to roleplaying games. I esspecially like games with a dark fantasy or horror theme. I try to game at least 3 to 4 times a week but unfortunately don't always make that average. So I'm always on the lookout for new gaming buddies. When I'm not able to board- roleplay I like to play on the XBox 360. You can find me on XBlive as Blind Reality also.
Above you can see some pictures of my little gamer family. On the left is my son (eight years old) who's starting to become a real gamer already. In the middle it's myself playing Guitar Hero and on the right you can see how me and my wife play Memoir when on holiday.
Next to a player I'm also a collector. Games tend to get bought at a higher rate than they get played. Still who would not want to own all these fine pieces of cardboard! In the last few years it seems that my purchases have slowed down. I'm trading more and adding quality instead of quantity to my collection.
The top 10 are my all time favorite games. I'm willing to play these games at any moment in time and space. The hot 10 are the games I played most in the last 4 months. These tend to be lighter fare as I play a lot of shorter and lighter games with my son. I play the meaty games on tuesdays and sundays.

I do not really care for the very abstract rating system on the geek. Therefore I rate my games the old fashioned way. Every game get's 5 seperate ratings for Gameplay, Replayability, Fun/Social, Components and Rules. These are represented by 's. To get an overal rating for a game I weigh the above ratings for respectively 40%, 20%, 20%, 10% and 10%. You can of course weigh the different ratings in any other way. It all depends what you think is important in a game.
