- Biography
Samus got his nickname from playing the cheap, cheap character of Samus religiously in Super Smash Bros. Melee in his otherwise craptacular sophomore year of high school.
He began political commentary in 2003, after reading "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" by Al Franken. Unfortunately, he took Franken's approach as gospel and proceeded to make ad hominem attacks a la Michael Moore for the next couple of years. He's mostly over it now, but some things just merit righteous bile. Don't they?
- Favorite music
- Here's the range: The "West Side Story" soundtrack to Offspring. A little sprinkle of Kanye on top with a side of Beck and Cake. Plus German stuff.
- Favorite books
- Anything Alan Moore has ever written, anything Neil Gaiman has ever written. The Lord of the Flies. 1984. Fahrenheit 451. Anything Augusten Burroughs has ever written.
- Favorite news sources
- CNN, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, The New York Times.
