like the Title says, what are some of your guys other hobbies (assuming wargaming isnt the only one)? mine are paintball (best-sport-EVER. forget soccer/football), listening to music (hard rock/heavy metal), and playing RTS or FPS computer games. i'm also on my school's swim team, but im pretty bad and only joined to get in shape... so what about the rest of you? what else do you guys like? laters, Oz |

Well on my end it's mostly music and weight training. At the moment I'm doing between 4 and 6 hours practice a day which doesn't leave much room for anything else... I guess you could say girls are another hobby... lol Umm... Other than that I read alot and play rugby with my unit. That's me in a nut shell. |

Gardening when at home; Military/nuclear-science history (Geeky, yeah...) & slaving away in an attempt to pass my chemistry degree when at uni. I'm hoping to get into airsofting after I graduate, but I'm going to need the salary of job to be able to maintain that & my gaming to the level I'd like |

Music, namely Metal in it's various forms, but I'm pretty varied. Been playing bass for about 5-6 years, now. (Off and on..) Reading fantasy/sci-fi, playing older pc games and the like. Working out, when I can be arsed. Taking care of my menagerie of pets, now at 5 dogs, and 2 cats. |

Gah, you just reminded me... I had to sell off my B.C. Rich Warlock.. I'll miss you Lotus.. Other one's my first, an Ibanez Gio. (My friend named him 'MooseHammer'... He's obsessed with the moose..) I'll dig out pics of Lotus later, but, here's one of Moose: |

You were proud you had a B.C. Rich? Every time I see them I swear the headstock looks like a pair of balls ![]() Nice SGR there... A 200 series? I'm using an ATK305 at the moment as my main bass for gigging, her name is Sarah ![]() ![]() I'm also playing a Warwick StreamerII 5 string for playing with the army... ![]() Then I've got this little girl on hold for me at my local music store... Her name is Ella ![]() I need to get some real photos of my girls up. I'll hunt round and see if I can find any photos of me gigging... |

With B.C. Rich's, they tend to be pretty crap-tastic if you're below the $500 mark. Mine was a custom $750 Rave series deal, so it worked out pretty nicely, if a slight bit muted. Don't have any 'gig' pics; my old band is back in Florida, and, with me being over 900 miles away, well... that complicates things. Never actually got a 'real' show down, but, we had a lot of great times just screwin' around. I've spent the past year and a half trying to find a new band, but, no dice. |

Well, to give you an example, Dimmu Borgir's bassist uses solely B.C. Rich Warlocks. Most of them are probably in the $3000-$4000 range, but that just proves the point. |

I always want to play Blues guitar but held back due to being born tone deaf and crippled by lack of talent. The ability to play and or compose music is something I am very envious of... |

Ohh, it most certainly didn't come naturally to me. 6 years on and off, and I barely consider myself 'decent'. |

I hate those guys who are naturals. I've been playing for 8 years now and I would barely call myself competent. It's taken alot of hard work to get to where I am now. |

Other hobbies? You mean there is other hobbies? I like a variety of stuff. Listening to music (rock & metal mostly), playing computer games, reading, writing (when I get the time and inspiration), eating out, riding motorbikes (if I ever get the time to fix my old bike), motorbike building (time, money, weather and wife permitting) and going for drives/rides. |

Tinker: That's no reason to not pick it up! Honestly, it doesn't matter how 'good' you are, so long as you enjoy yourself while you do it. I wouldn't dare step foot onto a stage right now, but I'll gladly slap some headphones on and rock out with my co... ah, well, you know what I mean..
