Pat is locked in an eternal struggle against his inner need to go unnecessarily hard on the minutiae of his nerdy hobbies. His tabletop miniatures must be painted to excruciatingly high standards, his myriad of Magic: The Gathering Commander decks must include very specific art and borders, and proper musical ambiance must be present for the maximum kitchen table gaming experience. He's always happy to talk Warhammer 40k, D&D, or Batman deep lore, but don't get him started about vampires or the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG unless you've got the better part of an hour to kill.
