Interesting lists!
randombs,
It basically came from a film discussion when I was talking with people that would define themselves as "normal". Obviously, I thought of games instead.
My film one, for anyone who cares (it has more Japanese films than it rightly should, probably), is here:

I like it as it feels a little bit like a gaming fingerprint, of sorts.
