Besides reading Lone Wolf? Me, I listen to music, watch TV, play RPG video games... It's the only thing I CAN play, what with having a brain hemorhage at age 14, and losing the use of my right hand.... Anyway. I love sleeping. I think my favorite movies are The Count of Monte Cristo, LOTR, The Vikings, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre [the new one, never saw the old.... and Jessica Biel's arse is GODLY.] I like alot of things I guess. Anyhoo. Don't make fun o' me. Or I'll Mind Blast you to death.

World of Warcraft.
...that's about it. =D I run with a really cool guild and it's a lot of fun. Before I built my new computer last year, I was an avid console/arcade gamer (hence the Salamander avatar), but I think I'm gonna stay in PCland for a while. I have a lot of catching up to do.

All sorts of stuff, ranging from PG to X-Rated. ^_^
I watch anime and other movies, I play board and card games with my girlfriend, I play video games (currently just finished Metal Gear Solid 3, for the third time; started Digital Devil Saga for the first time; and am replaying Starcraft for, like, the fifth time), I spend money I don't have, I post much on Tower of the Sun, I read, I listen to video game remixes, I play music, I doodle, I pet my cats, I eat, I sleep, I take baths...
... I know I'm forgetting something... something important...
Oh yeah! I'm also a student ^_^

Leisure time? Aside from reading Lone Wolf? Well, I compile and maintain all the PDFs of the Lone Wolf Club Newsletters, some of which will be updated very soon with their missing pages added, as well as the other non-gamebook PDFs for Project Aon. I also help edit all the Project Aon releases, as well as providing (un-asked-for) opinions and assistance to other contributors.
Outside PA, I'm working on compiling a definitive Atlas of Titan for the Titan_Rebuilding and Fighting_Fantasy_Gamebooks mailing lists on Yahoo, as well as compiling PDFs of the FF mini-adventures that appeared in Warlock and White Dwarf magazines; maybe Proteus as well, if I can get any scans.
I contribute to some discussions on the Yahoo groups mentioned earlier, as well as the Gamebooks Yahoo mailing list, though this has been a bit quiet recently.
Yes, I really like gamebooks.
I do a bit of role-playing (D&D3.5E) on those few weeks where my group can all get together in one place at the same time, and I tend to make time to play any new Bioware D&D-based computer games (NWN2 should be out soon). I read sporadically, making my way through The Belgariad again right now. I infrequently watch TV, though last night I happened to chance upon a new sitcom on Channel 4 called The I.T. Crowd which I thought was brilliant, and I'm also a fan of the new BBC sci-fi sitcom Hyperdrive. I sometimes watch DVDs, some of which are animé. Over the New Year holiday, I watched all three extended Lord of the Rings movies over two days; the previous year, I managed all three on the same day. That was cool. I used to be heavily into Indie-type music, though I haven't bought any CDs for well over a year. Still listen to the ones I have on MP3, though. Have to agree with Zipp that game remixes are cool, but I prefer the music from old-skool computer games, and most remixes these days seem to be from Final Fantasy games or similar; game music was so much better when it had real tunes! (Viva la Amiga!)
I tend not to get enough sleep because of all the above. :-\

Writing this feels a bit like completing a job application, but what the heck:
I find various ways to occupy myself when not online. For instance I enjoy computer/video games, as well as TV and movies. Of course I like to spend time with friends/family, and I also read avidly and collect books. I'm also developing an interest in cookery and I'll take any chance I get to travel somewhere. Additionally, I enjoy going to the theatre and playing around with cars. I've also been known to dabble in such pursuits as archery, martial arts and horse riding.

"I spend time with friends" I wish I had friends.... You can have some of mine. I'm getting a bit too popular lately, and my friends are cutting into very important drinking and pointless Internet surfing time. |

I must be a rarity in that I love gamebooks but don't enjoy computer games (other than Civilisation, which I'm exceedingly poor at) and no longer have any friends who are interested in RPGs.  My other unhealthy obsession is Doctor Who, which similarly takes up an inordinate amount of my time for a reason which mystifies those around me. >>Heck, I'll even go girly-shopping with 'em<< You're better than me HuntingWolf, I only go very begrudgingly, then sigh and look at my watch after a couple of hours so I can get home to see the football scores.  |

I only go very begrudgingly, then sigh and look at my watch after a couple of hours so I can get home to see the football scores. I find the video recorder to be my best male (blokey) friend, if I want to watch any sport I will inviably set the video first, then sit down, that way when my wife asks me to do something, or if I have to fetch one of the kids, or if she sits down to have a conversation with me (after apologising profusely of cause...just as the game gets critical) I can leave the game or turn it off (even when she assures me that I don't have to, yah right) safe in the knowledge that I can always go back to it and watch it later. Like every good woman (it's a talent, usually inherited from the mother), my wife has the uncanny knack of needing me during televised sports. So now, even if I expect to watch the whole match, I always set the video. (@ Mike H) That way she also doesn't see you checking your watch, cause it doesn't matter if you see it or not, you are safe in the knowledge that it waits for you no matter how long she shops for. BTW, I wonder how (or if) Hunting Wolf would change his tune if he was dragged out 'girly-shopping' after a long enough time to be comfortable in this relationship, I tend to find that people will be very patient in their imagination (or ideas) of a relationship but it's only once the new gloss of novelty is worn away that you truly know (or learn) just how far people will stretch for each other... Anyway, I love my wife and kids enormously  , but I always have a backup plan, it saves arguements, glaring looks (usually from the kitchen  that's how she looks at me) and any other stress... so good luck Hunting Wolf...girly-shopping and all |

You may well be onto something there though; I think if I turned the football off for a discussion about dinner or something with my girlfriend she'd be absolutely staggered. Certainly put me in the good books for at least half an hour. |
