Science-Fiction:
SightWatcher believes that science-fiction should be as much about expanding upon the future of society as it is action and adventure. Science-fiction can range from fluff entertainment to deep, insightful glimpses, or satire of society, but they should always push the realm of reality without stretching it so thin that the premise becomes unbelievable.
Video Games
SightWatcher loves playing RPGs that allow the player to customize a character and where social interactions have effect on the game play, but doesn't enjoy MMORPGs. He loves a good first person shooters (really likes them if they have a proper system for allowing the gamer to look down the sights of a weapon).
