    Default Hobbies?!?

    Obviously we are all into video games...
    Im interested to know what other, non-video game related, things this forums members might be into

    I, for instnace, open locks without the use of keys...
    Its like a puzzle, you find the solution when the lock opens.

    you can see some of my work on youtube here or just do a search for "LocksmithArmy"

    I specialize in high security locks or locks that are very uncommon, usually old or mostly unherd of locks that dont work on the same principals that your standard lock works on.

    soo... what are you into? tell us a bit about it and why it interests you.

    I have various hobbies.
    Knitting and crocheting. I've been doing this since I was a teen. It's relaxing and I like creating interesting things out of yarn.
    Jigsaw puzzles. I like to putting together puzzles;because I like figuring out how they fit together.
    Baking. I love sweets, and I enjoy the process of bringing together ingredients to make delicious sweets.
    Reading. I've been reading since I was little. I love how books open up a new world and adventures. I like reading manga, mysteries, horror, and old books, like Milton or Hemingway.
    Watching old cartoons. It takes me back to when I was a kid in the 80's-90's. I actually have rediscovered some cartoons I forgot about, it's fun to see how old kids shows hold up now.

    Mines are drawing, writing, and a bit of a self learning fashion designer.
    I like making my own clothes

    hmmm. I'd say my hobbies are various sports, reading (mysterybooks are my fav, love the detective ones, and piecing the shit together myself), and watching anime
    EDIT: Can't forget about card games.

    Well since I am now of age.
    I'll be getting the Tri-Force on my Left Shoulder.
    And Most likely, I want 3 hearts on my right shoulder with one half full.

    sweet... eventually (when i find the right artist) im going to get the triforce on my hand done in invisable ink (only seen under black light) and Ill get a black lightfor the steering wheel of my car... so it would only show up while driving or at a club... or laser tag... or a science museum... or any other place with black light

    but the black light ink is hard to do so you need a really expierienced artist for it (expierienced in black light ink not just a good artist)

    one i can readily think of but is still related to videogames, is redesigning tech seen in videogames into working real life equivilants... although i haven't messed with that in a while and all i've done so far is a bunch of designs based off the koopa shells (got 12+ designs all worked out and a koopatrol full body armor that has a energy supply issue on the electronics parts and i suck at solving that kind of problem) and bob-ombs (they're so easy to design that you could make a batch out of the same stuff as fireworks), both from mario games.

    could probably work out the designs for something like a metal gear model but... i am so not going to try designing a piece of tech that expensive and for good reason. if anyone made a metal gear tank nowadays (if by some twisted miracle they had the resources for it that is) it'd very likely cause international panic and be a terrorists dream weapon what with being able to launch nukes from most anywhere on the planet.

    oh and the A.I. aside, a reploid body like that of mega man x's could probably be built with current tech too so thats kinda cool too.
