Wondering to get a feel of the people here. I play guitar as much, if not more than video games. Also like to draw and box. Sex is always good as well <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> So what else do you guys do?

Videogames have been my lifelong hobby, and the only hobby I've stuck with religously thru my 26 years. I use to be into Flatland BMX a few years ago, but the scene dwindled around here, so I dropped it and started playing Tennis recently.

I also like to play Axis and Allies whenever I can get some other gamers together for a game.

I'll be getting a guitar soon, been wanting to learn how to play for a long time. I have some friends who are in a rock band, they want me to sing some cover songs, but I'm not sure if I can do it in front of a big crowd of people. I can sing, I just dont know if I'll choke on stage. Maybe if I've got enough alcohol in me, I won't worry about it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, MASTURBATION!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0">

Well, besides my lifelong hobby of gaming, I'm a big fan of reading, singing (yes in public), working on whatever computer problems people bring me, hanging out with my friends whenever I can, and someone very special is taking up a lot of my time recently...

I juggle (my specialty is fire), I root for the Knicks, I do improv comedy, I dress up like a Ghostbuster, and last but certainly not least, like SonGohan, I play guitar (I worked at Guitar World for three years before I did game stuff for a living) and have a nice collection:

I'm into writing poetry and mixing music.

I'm trying to promote a few events for the video game circuit in the area where I live.

Going to the university has actually become a hobby too.

Hmm, my main hobby would be videogames. However I am quite a classic car buff and enjoy cruisin' on the weekends (in nice weather of course). I also enjoy anime as well.

I buy and enjoy toys. I refuse to use the term collect since I have fun with them. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I like to buy DVDs to show off my DTS system.
Home theatre is my bag.

Lately I've been working out, and doing chores since I'm alone right now. I have also traveled a lot to Europe and Asia and have seen a lot of the US, and have been to Canada and Mexico. I am in law school WHICH TAKES UP A LOT OF MY TIME. I read and watch the news during my spare time. I have been spending a lot of time on different boards on line. I go to the mall and go to music stores, bookstores and sometimes watching a movie. I'm going to watch a Timberwolves game at the Target Center next week with my dad who's going to visit. I listen to music while on the computer or while in my room. I do try different foods like others have mentioned. That's all I can think of.

i am a very big
fan of Katsuhiro Ohtomo.
i love picking up anything AKIRA.
any AKIRA paraphenillia.
i basically finished my AKIRA
marvel epic collection with a set of doubles.
Ohtomo stuff too...
(looking for kaba btw.)
my thoughts is you can never have enough.
Ohtomo is my personal god.
also me being a big heads fan i have a good half of
their vinyl
and all of their released cds.
love to start collecting some of the
live bootlegs one day
i also try to pick up luaka bop releases
since i think the label has some very
interesting artists.
most of this stuff has taken a back seat due to my cart
collection but i ll probably start again
once i start getting MVS stuff which hopefully
is slightly cheaper.
wow... this NEOGEO thing is pretty bad for my other intrests...
