    Re: Non-videogame related hobbies

    Even though your reply was kind of dumb, Starfire, this was a cool thread to bump.
    I enjoyed reading it

    If i'm not playing xbox (which seems to be less and less nowadays..) I am taking care of my now 5 and 1/2 month of twin boys, playing 1000 Heroz, I do freelance wedding photography with my wife (currently have 400 photos to finish editing, ugh!), I love music (mostly metal/metalcore/deathcore/etc)...

    Hmm, I just got an idea... I think I am going to make a new thread.

    I write music.

    I love DH mountain biking.

    I also love mountain unicycling!

    I did street/trials unicycling back in the day too, but that ended up giving me some lower back issues, so I had to quit. Thankfully mountain unicycling doesn't have the same effect for some reason - I always enjoyed that much more anyway.

    I'm learning how to snowboard, but I still suck.

    I'm also an obsessive CD collector. I only buy digital releases when they are exclusive and not released on CD at all.

    Video games I used to be obsessed with before Trials took over:

    Blast Corps, Guitar Hero, Marble Saga: Kororinpa, N, Super Monkey Ball, Super Monkey Ball 2, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz.

    I also really got into both Mario Galaxy games and got 100% on both of them, but never recorded any videos...

    EDIT: How could I forget - I obsessively played through Super Meat Boy as well, and got 106%. I also got A+ on all the DLC levels in "TEH INTERNETS", including Expert Remix.

    Finally, playing plastic drums in Guitar Hero got me interested in learning "the real thing", and I'd say I'm not half bad for being completely self-taught, although I'm sure my form is all wrong... I've been meaning to record & upload a drum video for a while now.

    Really enjoyed reading that too. Cool thread, besides it's always nice to be nosey in other peoples lives.

    When not on xbox I skateboard and play guitar mostly -I've done both for about 15 years. I also draw lots, make cards, design tshirts/womens vest tops//the odd pair of ladies undergarments(!).

    I also do:
    Graphic Design.
    Typography (have designed lots of typefaces in the past).
    Photography.
    Gigs/Festivals.

    I also snowboard but not as regularly as I'd like!

    This is one of the most epic things I've done on a bike.

    It's an old video and the quality sucks, but I'm still proud of doing that.

    Yeah well, I novelist will inevitably sit long hours in front of the computer talking to themselves, with only the Trials forum to break up the monotony.

    It seems like you've been getting bashed in a lot of threads lately. So I retract my statement and would like to just say "Thanks starfire for reviving this thread!" and that I love you.
