Hobbies

[LaconianShot]

Yeah, I know, I <i>could</i> just read your profiles section (assuming that you've filled it in) but I find that it's more fun to tell what you're interested in yourself.<br>As for me, I like reading, writing, drawing (one of my favorites) biking, skiing, karate and Phantasy Star.<br>Anybody else interested in Karate? If so, what style/grade are you at?<br>And skiing...which has got to be one of the best things on the planet...is anyone interested in that?<br>So, reply!

Hockey, one sport Canadians live to watch and enjoy, heh heh, my philosophy . I love hockey, play it whenever I can, ice, road, field. Uhhh, oh ya, and video games, music too, CJ92 rocks! Recent interest in graphics. (Photoshop, Bryce4, etc.)

[Prince Noah]

Bike riding, model assembling, video games, car fixing (body work, NOT mechanical), taking black & white pictures from the net and giving them color, car detailing....(cleaning)

Writing music is my biggest hobby. I'm like a one man band; performing every aspect of the song. I don't do it for some dream of fame, but for the satisfaction of listening to the finished product. So, music... and playing RPGs (currently I'm playing Tales of Destiny *for the first time*)

I like practically anything that I can do without an electric/electronic machine. I mean, anything, can´t think of a single thing I don´t like to do, or did not enjoyed doing at least once, as a hobby.<p>The only interference of those lesser artificial beings I let in my private life is when we get into the videogaming field and photoshopping.

I thought your bio in PSDB said you had a hobby of being angry. :p Haha, just messin with ya.

Some of my hobbies include drawing, playing keyboards, listening to music, playing Magic: the Gathering with friends, going for walks through the forest during warm weather, and videogames. I also like to go camping when I can.<p>Me and a good friend of mine have been thinking about starting a band of some sort, hopefully some time in the near future, where the plan would basically be for him to take on the lead guitar, and I'd be on keyboards - then we would need to look for someone willing to play bass, and then someone for the drums, and so on. <p><blockquote>Anybody else interested in Karate?

I made it to 4th dan during that time, and then I eventually ended up having to drop out because of academic issues. I think that if I were to assume a new style, it would probably end up being some form of Ninjutsu/Taijutsu. <p>

And skiing...which has got to be one of the best things on the planet...is anyone interested in that?

<br>Yes. I, too, enjoy skiing - though, I'm not a very big fan of the winter season, so it usually doesn't end up happening for me.

[Benoit]

For me, just read my thread in the Introductions forum.

[LaconianShot]

Oh! I forgot to mention that I play Baritone Sax...in a Jazz and Concert band.<br> <blockquote>Some time ago, I studied Shotokan for about five years, on and off.

And just passed my 8th Kyu yesterday, in fact. 4th Dan? Holy shit, in Wado Ryu, that's a black belt level...we go Mon,Kyu,Dan...eight levels in the first two, and numerous in the last.

[Mizehrith]

Ah jeez. I'm sorry, my bad - 4th Kyu. Honest mistake.

[LaconianShot]

Oh, that's alright. Hey Benoit, your Introduction thread says "heading in the Computer Science direction"...what exactly does that mean? Because working at RadioShack could be considered "in the Computer Science direction". So are you wanting to be a programmer, or something else?

[Benoit]

I would like to be a programmer, yes. A programmer of games, mostly.

[Demon Child]

Short list of hobbies for me.<br>1. Playing video games: Phantasy Star, Legacy of Kain, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Chrono Cross, Sonic, Shining Force, .Hack//Infection.<br>2. Playing Magic the Gathering :p Mainly because noone beats my Squirrel deck.<br>3. Watching Tv: Inuyasha, .Hack//Sign, Trigun, Drew Carey, Mythbusters, Tripping the Rift.<br>4. Watching Movies: Matrix, Terminator, and any other science fiction movie.

[LaconianShot]

A programmer, you say? Hmm...I aspire to be a Senior Artist at a game development company. That means drawing/designing the characters, enemies, NPCs, bosses and (sometimes) structures. And concept art. Most of these things are done with both pencil and computer. That would be a great job, I think.<br>Benoit, you better get learning C++!

[Benoit]

Yeah, I should. I've gotten a programming environment program for ages, but since I can't do a thing in C, I haven't used it yet. It's hard as hell...
