I love gold timepieces almost as much as WP AF15s.

 

 

that looks real nice. I've always had a soft spot for nice watches after receiving a really nice watch as a grad gift. I don't think it would take much for me to start collecting them

Fourth would be chess

 

:cloud9:

 

What is your rating ? :baiting:

 

I've actually never competed. Just love the game. We had a club at one of the dealerships I worked at and I was always top 2.

 

 

We have to play against each other one of those days, guess what, I like the French Defense against e4 lol

 

Maybe we could bet a comic book, winner takes it, I have one in mind :devil:

 

To be fair, you'll probably cream me but I would love to play.

 

:grin:

The French Defense is to surrender. lol

Gotta say primary, cause I spend the most on this hobby.

 

Other things I like:

 

- Watching movies. Particularly, those independent and "B" movies most people never watch. I especially like Horror and Thrillers.

 

- I used to collect action figures. (Mostly G.I. Joe ARAH) But that's faded.

 

- Video Games. Not a lot of different games. I tend to play the same games over and over if I like them. For example, I love me some LEFT 4 DEAD and LEFT 4 DEAD 2 (online multiplayer shooters).

 

I also have 2 very young kids so everything listed above gets done after the kids are put to bed. (thumbs u

Screenwriting - unproduced, but man I've come close. Currently writing an epic period spec.

 

I wrote two screenplays and an episode of the Simpsons on spec.

 

I've had a few productions companies tease me a bit years ago. Never got over the hump though. Since getting married and kids, I just never had time to pursue it the way I did before. :cry:

 

There used to be an amazing Simpsons website (maybe springfield.com or something like that? And it's long been shutdown) where people would upload their screenplays. Did you ever go to that? I wish I could recall the name, but the homepage looked like Bart's treehouse.

 

Alot of the screenplays were actually really, really good. There was one, in particular, that was truly great. Could have been a real episode (from the great years). Had to do with Homer becoming a Native American so he could open a casino in Springfield. The guy who wrote it just nailed it. It was a true full episode too. Some people would just post up a basic outline. This guy had the entire -script worked out (and scene discriptions). It was frikkin' hilarious. Reading it was like watching an episode.

While I no longer actively collect comic books I still read about them etc.

 

Music is my main "hobby". These are some of my instruments. My main one now is the big fella third row down.

 

I really love exotic string instruments :)

Comics are my main hobby. A close second, my saltwater tanks. I have four ranging from 10-37 gallons. Cooking and azzing around with my dogs bring up the rear. I love my dogs. :cloud9:
Thats a hobby i really want to get in to. I want an octopus or cuddlefish!

Do your research before you get into octopus or cuttlefish. You will need a 200-300 gallon tank for cuttlefish. Octopus, 30 plus gallons with an escape-proof cover.

You should check out my uncles film studio

Starwaypictures.com

His most recent movie release is a horror movie starring my aunt :D

It's called The Blackout, trailers are on the website. He does all the special effects himself. Since he was a kid he was making horror movies in my grandpas huge backyard. Monster makeup, special effects, musical scores, promotional artwork, ever since he was in middle school. His day job is working on the Pink Panther kids show for the UK. His own production studio has included people who did special effects for Jurassic Park and the guy who did the 3D animation for the Iron Man cartoon opening scene.

Comics are my primary hobby. For a long time it was the Star Wars and (later) Lord of the Rings Collectible Card games. But those eventually went tits up.

 

Now, I've gotten back into Legos, primarily Star Wars, but a little of everything else as well.

 

I also feed my World of Warcraft adiction a few nights a week :shy:

 

I love Star Wars stuff too, and have a pretty big collection. I rarely add to it anymore though. Star Wars lego is definitely the coolest though, I wish they had it when I was a kid.

 

The funny thing is that I don't really collect any other SW stuff. It's really just the Legos and the remnants of the card game stuff - I've never even bought more than one or two SW comics :insane:

Billy, I had no idea you played tennis. What level? I just got back into it a few months ago, and I'm playing 3+ times a week.
