I play music and am in a band.
In the band I play drums, but drums are not my main instrument. The guitar is. I'm mediocre at best on both instruments.
I am obsessed with foosball and bubble hockey.
I recently started restoring and tinkering with Arcade cabinets.
I collect a few series of comics, but nothing extravagant.
I collect Transformers but I open them all and display them on a shelf.
I also like to play paintball and/or lasertag.

The Discovery Channel will be airing their episode of Wreckreation Nation
February 3rd at 10pm, which will hold their coverage of our race
Wreckreation Nation is a show that helps up and coming sports, or non mainstream activities get a little exposure by sending Dave Mordall (their expert) to participate in these activities with no prior experience. We are very thankful for the Discovery Channel for coming out to help our sport get some exposure, and thankful to everyone that attended the race in support of our sport.

Do you have it hooked up so the cars can change and occupy the same lane?

Outside of gaming:

Music (writing, playing, listening)
Movies
Graphic design/visiual art in general
Exercising

Those 4 things take up most of my free time. These days gaming takes a back seat, although COD WaW has been pulling me away from shit I should be doing recently.

Used to spend a lot of time and money collection Transformers but I just don't have the room for any more and I can't justify spending money on something that doesn't do anything but sit there and collect dust.

I love doing business in general. I love buying stuff cheap and selling it for more and making profit. Also....Computers computers and more computers. I just love taking shit apart and fixing it. My whole day I spend fixing computers at work and then I come home and run my own gig, fixing people's computers (for money of course), but I really have a strong passion for doing that sort of thing.

I really also want to take up web and graphic design, but I'm having a difficult time learning the web aspect of it ...I already got a good grip on Photoshop, but I want to learn how to integrate pages that I design into the actual web...I heard Fireworks is the way to go but I would'nt even know where to begin. I've seen so many tutorials and other things all over the place but I really have no idea where to start. Any advice from the web designers here?

During the summer I'll hit up the beach at least once a weekend...I LOVE to jetski...it's just like a 30 minute long roller coaster that you have complete control over....some of the most thrilling shit I've ever done.

Finally I love martial arts...I've taken up different arts before (Kickboxing, Wrestling, Judo, Wing Tsun Kung Fu), but as of recent I just signed up for capoeira classes which start on January 15th....really excited about that.

I got more, but I'm so freaking tired right now I could barely concentrate.

I love to create.

I love to write and design, and I like to mix the two together. Separately they each take many forms;

Writing: creative writing, poetry, philosophy, comic strips

Design: Whatever I run into throughout the day I think how to make it better or make it more intriguing. It doesn't take much interaction to get the ball rolling... often wonder how much thought and playtesting goes into products... today it was the dishwasher at work... I'll spare you.

I also like business and finance.

Guess I'm pretty boring compared to the rest of you guys... I like movies, comics and music. I used to read a lot, but not so much these days. I also used to cook a lot, but for some reason, I find it impossible to get enthusiastic about it now, so I usually don't bother.

I like to play poker with my buddies too, but we all suck, more or less. That's pretty much it.

Ah, Takumaji is the coolest motherfucker on this site. I ain't kissin ass neither, I'd really like to hang out, drink beer and discuss Jack the Ripper suspects with him. Although, ForeverSublime's pretty cool up in this thread so far too. He's got the cool Wasabi used to have. Ooooohhhh, burn.

My biggest hobby (and soon, work) is writing short horror/wierd fiction. I'll be in the major book chains within five years- mark my words. Sometimes (Who am I kidding- often) I'll cruise around late at night and pick up a homeless guy. Then I drive out to the desert and kill him for inspiration in my writing. And also to get a lasting, diamond-hard erection. It's not a big deal on account of homeless people's lives not having any real value. :back: THAT :back: is my next hobby- having a twisted, fucked up sense of humor that runs through most everything I do- though mainly my writing.

My other real hobbies include:
- Voracious reading (fiction, history, anthropology, mesoamerica, La Conquista, WWI, HP Lovecraft, John Milton, etc., etc., etc.
- Building my personal library and collecting rare books on the cheap
- Wit and wordplay
- Etymology and origins of aphorism
- Djarum Specials
- Making electronic music on my PC with Reason 2.0
- Drawing and illustration
- Sculpting monsters and things from my writing
- Photoshop and design
- Evil, transgressive satire
- Re-collecting all the movies I've sold throughout the years
- Being discriminating and choosy about the girls I date
- Playing horror games (and games in general, obviously)
- Writing prose to the frauleine(s) I desire
- Finding cool shit at thrift stores
- Building my writer's website and making it fucking awesome before I turn it loose
