Outside of MLP, I am a huge fan of video games, my favorite series of all time being Metal Gear, Ace Attorney, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, and Devil May Cry, just to name five. Also a huge fan of manga, my favorite series of all time being Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Butler, Hunter x Hunter, Rurouni Kenshin, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, just to name five. Trust me, variety is everything to me.
I haven't noticed that myself. Though that's mostly based on the status updates, I never spent much time in the Debate Symposium (back when it existed).
