Hobbies! What do you do that isn't Amiga?
« on: June 11, 2011, 10:37:56 PM »
Hi girls and guys!

Thought I would be interesting to see what we do other than Amiga.

I know Franko likes Squirrels. I myself am an ex-mechanic who loved cars, and ex-IT-Techie that loved computers - oops still do! - I like beer and smoking and used to love weed and coke, I've a couple stationary engines (Lister D / Petter A1), I do DIY everything from a plug to walls and plumbing and I like doing my wife......

.....your turn! :hat:

I spend a lot of time getting high and masterbaiting to midget porn. It ain't much a life but I'm happy.

@ XDelusion
:roflmao::laughing:

@ LordSpunky

Yup... me wee pals the Squirrels take up a fair bit of my time but my main interest/hobby (not sure what to call it) is music, couldn't go a day without listening to my music (it's even playing while I sleep)... :)

Course the old fags is my only vice 40+ a day and at least 6 cans of Pepsi and as many packets of Crisps that I can scoff in between mealtimes... :)

Like yourself DIY is my other big thing being a Carpenter by trade (not a Joiner) woodwork is my favourite but like yourself I can do any aspect of the building trade Electrician, Bricky, Plasterer, Plumber etc... (though Metalwork I'm not keen on)... :)

Cars are one thing I don't like I've owned a few but never learned to drive and even if I wanted to I wouldn't be allowed so cars have never really be of any interest to me... :)

Tinkering with anything electrical I enjoy (old stuff mainly) as there's not a lot tinker with in today's electronics being all chips & surface mount crap... :(

Not sure about your wife though (need to see a piccy first....) :lol: but wee Janice the cleaning lady helps out in many ways and is quite handy cos unlike the ex-wife she at least goes home to her own place... ;)

PS: I also like phoning up big companies to complain about things, not that I buy or use any of their products, I just enjoy calling them up to tell them that their product or service probably stinks, they seem to get a bit confused over that... :D

I've got heaps happening family/home/business that takes up nearly all my spare time from my main job. But from 9:30pm-Midnight Mon-Sun I usually have time to do some Amiga/Music/games.  I'm a bit of a DIY myself.  NE thing to save a bit of dosh.  I have genetic electrical/electronic/building/mechanical credentials being bought up on a dairy farm.

Electric fences / radios transmitters&recievers / computers / auto electrical.  I started with Tandy electronic (x in one) kits when I was a wipper snapper.
Cows are big smelly creatures linked to Gateway computers.  Keep away from them.  But all the same: http://inhabitat.com/cows-on-treadmills-could-produce-six-percent-of-the-worlds-power/

Cool... A Moo Moo on a treadmill... :)



Hardly "ECO friendly" though one of them big beasties puts out nearly as much fart gas as Dammy does when he talks about CUSA... :)

It's important to have a hobby that makes a difference, boys. That's why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.

I forgot music! D'oh! Yeah I love listening to music - mainly rock / metal but listen to almost everything. I also make some kinda 'music' as The Synapse Project.......
I'm a Jointer by trade - as in mains electrical cable, Live 3 Phase LV Mains, and joint 11KV High Voltage. Most towns are like one big circuit board.
I used to class myself as a writer once apon a time. Poetry, stories, lyrics etc......don't really find the time now so I end up editing for my wife who writes.
Inbetween being a parent, a Union rep and councillor.....yeah life is busy!

"Hi, I don't own one of your products per say, but I'm sure they probably really suck and I'm pissed about it Godamit! What the HELL??! Who the hell do you think you are?! Selling crap products to unexpecting consumers, you got to be kidding me!"

Ya, gotta try that sometime! :)

I like to "experiment with noiz" (I got all sorts of strange gear) as I do not yet deserve the title of musician, but the Miracle Piano is helping me learn a few things. ;)

I also run HEAVILY modified Atari 8-bit computers, journey alone into the woods (dark nights are the best, though it's been a while), I love obscure movies, classic film, old indy horror, non-holywood cinema,  certain Japanese Animation (not the Dragon Ball or Pokemon stuff). Star Wars novels and comics are an addiction of mine as they help fill that void that the TV series and prequel movies created within me.

Let's see, I also read Lovecraft, Barker, Ann Rice, documents on US (and Nazi) research into Social Engineering and Generational Conditioning.

Ancient Scripture, Mythology, Dreams, Jungian Psychology, Zen.

Taking care of the elderly. Disturbing the comfortable, comforting the disturbed.

Working on my Star Wars total conversion for PrBOOM+ and Odemex (GzDOOM project later).


Fishing, taking a trip to the city and eating at the all female Krisna house, road trips, the rare but occasional shaman experience. Eathing Americanized Chinese food, hanging out with my long lost brother and sister.

Um, yes I do smoke up, but I don't masterbait to midget porn actually. To be honest I prefer to sodomize my self to issues of Good House Keeping.

I also Edit video which I am incorporating with my current experiments with sound and eventually release a DVD. I have also been wanting to buy a good camera and learn techniques with the Green Screen and Adobe After Effect. Maybe I could use this to do Wedding and Funeral DVD's, which pays VERY well btw! Shooting a low budget horror flick with my long lost bro. and sis is also on the agenda. (She's been to Tom Savini's School of Special EFX.)

I write unorthodoxed beats to compliment my brother's rapping skills.

Used to draw, need to get back into it. I love to bike miles across the country with head phones or one of my female friends when she's available.

I love to roll around with my pets, sometimes play Wii, Half-Life two, Classics, RRG's, Turn Based Adventures, Point and Click Adventures, etc.

Table Top Games like Risk, Space Hulk, DOOM, etc.

Stuff in general.
