25 Things!

Hi there! Here are 25 things about the creator of this blog, Richard Gibson!

-I’m a South Florida kid, but I was actually born in Atlanta, Georgia in the year 2000, the day before Super Bowl 34.

-As the last fact might tell you, my family and I are huge sports fans. I’ve been to two Super Bowls: XLI and the most recent one, LIV.

-I love football a lot. I love the Miami Dolphins to the point where I’ve gone to over 50 home games up to this point.

-I also love basketball, baseball, and hockey, but I CAN’T STAND soccer. I just don’t get excited when I watch it, I’m sorry…

-Aside from being the owner of this blog, I also work for PantherNOW, FIU’s student-led newspaper. I’m a sports writer!

-Being a sports writer, I’ve been fortunate enough to cover both the football and baseball teams for FIU, and I’ve been able to interview both players and coaches.

-If I had to pick a favorite spot on FIU’s campus, it would have probably been PantherNOW’s press room, but I guess I’ll have to come up with another…

-Let’s go back to video games. My favorite game of all time is undoubtedly Fallout: New Vegas.

-Aside from the Fallout games, my other favorite series of games include Smash Bros, Halo, Titanfall, and Mario Kart.

-I own two vide game consoles: The Xbox One X and the Nintendo Switch. I don’t hate the PS4, I just have never felt the need to get it.

-If I had to pick one video game character to be the next DLC fighter in Smash Ultimate, it would have to be Master Chief. (I’ll come back and edit this if he somehow gets in!)

-My first ever console I ever owned was the Nintendo GameCube, and the first game I’ve ever played was SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom.

-Yes, I am an Aquarius. No, I really don’t care about that.

-My favorite color is green. No, not light green or dark green. Just straight up green, no exceptions. Red also isn’t bad, now that I think about it…

-My love for Fallout is quite massive. I’ve collected every bobblehead that’s in the game IN REAL LIFE.

-My favorite movie of all time is Saving Private Ryan. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me appreciate cinema.

-My favorite genre of music is most likely EDM, but there really isn’t any genre of music I hate entirely.

-Android for life. I hate Apple products and love Samsung products. I made this using a dell computer with a Samsung monitor.

-My favorite toy growing up was absolutely LEGO. I owned so many different sets. I still have some on display now.

-When I was in high school, I was the morning PA announcer for all four years. I also called the high school baseball home games.

-I’ve visited the city of Las Vegas at least six times. Yes, it gets better every time I go there.

-My dream car to drive has always been the McLaren P1. In a more realistic sense, a Shelby would do just nicely!

-I’ve owned five pets in my life- four fish and a hamster. The hamster’s name was Hammy. Hammy the Hamster.

-I’m a strange mix of an introvert and an extrovert. I live my alone time, but I’m always down for a social gathering.

-The only international countries I’ve visited are Venezuela and the United Kingdom. Venezuela for a family reunion and the UK for a Dolphins game at Wembley. I get around!
