Everyone who uses this forums are defenitely game lovers( unless some are fooling around).
But I was wondering, do you guys have any other hobbies/ interests in addition to playing games.

I will start with mine:
I am a regular solver of Programming Problems ( the kind in ACM ICPC)..
I am an active user of acm.uva.es and averaging 1 problem every two days.

I'm going to university and I'm learning Japanese and Chinese there.
Apart from that I love watching movies and good comedies. (Simpsons, Futurama, Home Improvement, ...)

I'm into playing football (or soccer if that's what you call it) and going to gigs (live music).

Well, I'm into playing my bass, watching horror flicks, and hanging out with my son. I LOVE playing my bass!!!

By the way, I'm having internet trouble at home, so I'll be off and on as much as I can... Hopefully it won't take too long... :cry:

I hope your internet trouble will be over soon.
I know the problems a dial-up can make. :cry: But when I switched to adsl, I have nearly no problems. :D

What's your favourite horror movie, Roth?

I know I'm not Roth but I'll answer the question anyway! :P

I love Braindead, which is a kind of comedy horror from Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame. It's low budget and he spent all the money he did have on fake blood! It's amazing to see the sort of films he was making earlier in his career (another is Bad Taste). Anyone else seen it?

Braindead is a film my friends and I will put on when we've had a few to drink. It's got loads of great quotes. My favourite; "I kick ass for the lord!"

I saw Braindead once only, and in German. So I don't remember many quotes. I definitely need to see it in English next time.

7:30am -wakeup
7:32 -shower
7:45 -leave for classes
8:00 - 11:00 class
11:15 -eat
11:40 - 12:40p - browse the internet, play games, hang out with friends, homework, relax
12:41 - Leave for class
12:55-4:00pm -Class
4:00pm - 11:30pm Work, eat, hang out, games, work, racquetball, anything else again

Like clockwork, except after 4pm. Lovely, no?

Well, I'm not sure what my absolute favorite horror flick would be...

I'm really fond of most of them :) If I had to say some mentionables, I'd probably go with movies from the Universal Classic Horror series. They are a bit hokey, but back then people were frightened! haha

I also like silent movies. My favorite of those would be The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Awesome flick. I also like The Golem... I believe in Germany it was called Der Golem.

Then there are zombie flicks, slashers, suspense.... I could go on forever... I like most of 'em! :)

I couldn't help but notice the Peter Jackson talk. Anyone ever seen the movie Meet the Feebles? It's kind of like watching the Muppets, except they're crazy!!!
