Hobbies
Yea, I got few hobbies. Although the focus tends to shift around a lot:
Going out
Hitting the town? Ok I confess, I might have have been known to have a few to many when going out in the past. But I'm trying to change. No more going out and coming home wasted for me; I killed enough brains cells already.
Of course I found a loophole: throwing a party is not really going out, is it? So I try to invite some friend for a party every now and then. It seems my Mojito is becoming a popular drink. We even made our own cocktail.
When going out I like to dance, but I'm really bad at it. So I should just try to stay away from the dance floor.
Games
I play all sorts of games (which doesn't mean I'm any good at it). I mostly like FPS, RPG and RTS games. So here is a quick list of the games I tend to play:
- First Person Shooter
- Quake II: We used to play this during class at college, ah good times.
- Counter-strike: Same as Quake II but less, now it's a LAN-party classic.
- Serious Sam: 8player co-op mayhem.
- Quake III Arena: Upgraded version of Quake II during LAN-party.
- Tron 2.0: Loved the movie and loved the game, has an interesting multiplayer mode instead of normal deathmatch.
- Real Time Strategy
- Starcraft: 7 years old and still great fun, can't wait for SCII
- Total Annihilation: I just love raiding Commanders with my gunships.
- Warcraft III: Blizzard scores again with this game.
- Supreme Commander: I still like raiding Commanders.
- RPG
- Final Fantasy I-XII: Best RPG series ever. I currently took FFVIII for a spin again.
- Kingdom Hearts: I had to try it after some good comments, finished it in 3 days strait.
- Kingdom Hearts 2: Started this right after the first one, and finished it in 2 days strait again. (needles to say I didn't to much else that week)
- Diablo II: Hack and slash to get rid of some stress.
- World of Warcraft: I used to be Druid CL for a mid-sized Raid guild but I put WoW on hold for other things.
- Party
- Buzz: Lets see who is the smartest person here.
- Stepmania: I bought some DDR-boards, this is just so much fun (and exhausting).
- Rockband: This game "rocks"
I also try to organize a LAN-party from time to time.
Music
I like to listen to almost any kind of music. My favorite type of music changes from time to time. I've been listening a lot to DragonForce lately.
I feel sad not being able to play an instrument of my own. I'd like to learn to play drums one day. I mostly play drums on Rockband but I'm not good enough.
Movies
I like to watch horror and action/adventure movies. I got a small collection of DVD's.
My favorite movie is American Beauty (which is not a horror or action/adventure movie:).
Anime
Sugoi. I came into contact with anime thanks to Club Dorothee a long time ago. I got a small collection of anime DVD's.
Manga
After anime, I became interested manga as well.
I have bought several manga's.
And I follow a few series on www.onemanga.com until they become available locally.
Cosplay
Costume play refers to the practice of dressing up in costume to resemble anime, manga, sci-fi/fantasy, and video game characters.
I always wanted to do a cosplay, and this year on FACTS I took my first steps. You can find more information on my costumes on my www.cosplay.com profile.
