This does a pretty good job defining me, although there are some questionable parts of the definition. I do love anime, and I do love video games, but I am rarely at home. I work full time, and I play full time in a blues band so I have little spare time, and this is why I only really update the site on weekends. Also, the "rarely leaves home" part kind of makes me scratch my head. The majority of otaku's I've met are usually at conventions, so that makes me wonder where whoever defined otaku got the general idea from... Pfft.
