I love cars. Current Mobil is a Vauxhall insignia 1.8 140bhp. You chaps may know it as a buick regal.
I love to read but cant seem to make time these days. My favourite authors are garrison keillor and bill bryson. Also michael palin.When I'm not working I'm basically a house husband.
I love listening to computer game music and BBC radio dramas. I don't really like television except for Sci fi type stuff. Just got x files box set and attempting to plough through that.


Comrade, have you had a chance to watch Blakes 7? I have wanted to rewatch it for years...I have rotting VHS tapes somewhere (random episodes) that I should probably unearth.
ill be honest I've never given it a chance. I'm not a terry nation fan. Cant stand Dr who. Though I remember my dad always raved about blakes 7. Maybe ill give it a shot.

Well, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but Blakes 7 different than Dr. Who (group dynamics). Here in the States, 1-2 local public television stations aired every season of Blakes 7, so I loved it (very few options for a family without cable television in the 80's). These stations also played every episode of Danger Man (re-titled "Secret Agent Man" over here) and The Prisoner.

Anyway, Blakes 7 has a slow start, but it might worm its way into your heart after a few episodes. Needless to say, I think it is an underappreciated gem (even the weaker later seasons, with cast changes are fun).

Since it didn't air on many stations here, it doesn't have much of a fan base in the U.S. To date, the best conversations about Blakes 7 have been with my brothers and my dad. Ha!

I have a 1990 Buick Regal in my garage with only 25,000km on it.

What other hobbies do you enjoy, other than playing games? Hiking? Building miniatures? Collecting Slovakian porn?

I am into cars. I love to read about cars. Talk about cars. Work on cars. Watch cars race (except for NASCAR).

I am currently in the process of narrowing down my next daily driver for next year when it comes to buy.
I have it down to either an Acura TL type S, Mitsubishi Evo X (or Ralliart), or Pontiac G8 GT. Then in 2021, I will be importing a Mitsubishi Evo IV as my weekend car.

So lets hear your hobby (or hobbies). What occupies your time when you are not playing games?



mmm DSM tasty. Cars are my other hobby as well. I have a fully built '96 Eagle Talon TSI /Mitubishi Eclipse GSX (turbo, all wheel drive) that i spent a few years building (15 months just to build motor in my garage  8)). So in my book you need to get another Mitsu! Also i'm into older cars. My new project is a '72 Plymouth Gran Fury. I'm really feeling the last of era muscle cars. Here's a couple pics of both cars.
