Your hobbies outside calculators

I like to collect vintage computers and play games that utilize one's mind. I also like studying the details of artistic expression.

• UT2004. Lots.
• Computer repair/maintenance
• Amateur radio / shortwave listening
• General tomfoolery with electronic circuits
• Watching How It's Made
• Having more swag than you

You only play one game?

Also about shortwave listening, I hope you don't listen to stuff you're not supposed to

[Caleb Hansberry]

I can verify, he mostly plays the One Game. UT2004 is also the only computer game I play aside from a little Minecraft on occasion. After all the game tends to be exciting sometimes!

Can confirm, haven't really played anything but UT2004 in the past year. At least 95% game time spent in UT2004.

I entirely forgot to mention that running this forum is also a lot of fun

What about games you played during your entire life? Did that only include UT too?

When you ban someone you become a walrus?

But yeah back in 2008, me and @netham45 kept banning each others from #omnimaga back and forth for fun. That was some power abuse we did, back then.

- Programming (what do you think? CSE Hybrid Basic)
- Playing Melee competitively (as I've gone to my first tournament, I can call myself a competitive player now)
- Playing the alto sax, bassoon, and piano
- Playing GC, Wii, 3DS, and my phone
- Etcetera-ing.

I didn' know you played music 123 . Did you ever record yourself so you can showcase your stuff in the instruments thread?

Once, where I played a cover of a somewhat-famous jazz song. I've uploaded it too, so I'll strut my stuff!
(ok I'll leave)

Lol. I am curious about how it sounds like. Also I wonder how many people here have tried to play Never Gonna Give You Up using their favorite instruments?

On a side note, this is not really an hobby, but I recently went to a 80's arcade (which also had 70's pinball machines) with juju and plan to come back early in the week when it's less crowded. It was awesome to be able to play all those old arcade machines. All were unlocked so you could play for free. The only condition is that you had to buy a drink (or more if you stayed for a long while) and of course it's 18+ since it's a bar. If my workplace and home were in downtown Quebec, I would probably spend my nights in that neightborhood.

I played MechWarrior 3 back when Windows 98SE was still considered acceptable, but didn't start gaming again until Bosaik introduced me to UT99 and Cemetech introduced me to the far superior UT2004; overall the gap was about 7 years I spent not gaming. I've recently started playing Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and I am not sorry.
[edit] it's all adriweb's fault

I didn't know that Bosaiknet pre-dated your Cemetech join date
