Other hobbies?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

hot sauce - i eat it, study it, review it. Hopefully getting a High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) soon to start measuring capsaicin in the sauces. The hottest stuff I have ingested is in the 4 million scoville unit range (by comparison, tabasco is about 2,000).

I play music too. Toured the east coast a few years back. I'm excited about starting a new project in March. I like and play music that is on the technical/rhythmic side (think meshuggah).

If I ever move out of the city I will pick up beekeeping. It's been calling me for a few years now, but my living situation can't really accommodate bees everywhere.

I am an avid Heavy Metal fan, I collect shit loads of Vinyl, CDs, Patches, T-Shirts. I am recently teaching myself to play drums hoping some day I would join in a Thrash Metal band.

But I don't always listen to metal, I listen to everything, I don't care what genre, I'll listen to it and hope for the best of it.

I also moderate on the largest discussion board for Chevelles.

I also dabble in 1:18 scale diecast cars: www.amhost.com/scooter/
One of the lads at work has a 1968 Calafornia special Mustang. Gorgeous car.
Those CS Mustangs are pretty cool and quite unique even for a Mustang.

I almost bought a 2004 GTO this past summer but it needed to be a year-round car and I just didn't think the wife would do so well driving that beast in the winter. We got her a 2003 VW GTI VR6 instead. Great little car. My driver is a '93 Prelude Si with my only bought-new car, an '85 Toyota MR2, still hanging around for summer driving even with 271,000+ miles on the clock.

I wouldn't call that sad, as long as you enjoy it. I wish I had more time for my gaming, I tend to spend more time collecting than actually gaming anymore. I tend to drift from one of my hobbies to the next, then being pulled back into the neglected one when something big comes up. A sure-fire way to remain broke I'll tell you.

I buy tons of them and read them whenever I can do it alongside something else(like when riding a bike or studying for school xD)
or of course just reading them without something aside.

Music production, I spend almost 8 hrs a day in front of my computer making beats. My friends actually won't even call me if i'm home because I just won't answer.

I do like to try many different beers. Lucky, my job sent me to Germany to learn a new product. Great beer, great food and people too. I used to play music, but time has become scarce since then. I like to tinker with car audio much of my spare time, as well as auto mechanics.
