There are many games and hobbies that I am interested in. I tend to cycle through them over time.
I really enjoy fiddling with computers. I spend a great deal of time tweaking my system to get every bit of power I can from it. I also spend most of my time at work doing things with or to computers. I really enjoy different approaches to things, like litestep, a windows shell replacement. I also like Linux. I use linux full time on my main home machine. I am partial to the Debian distro.
I enjoy computer games as well as playstation and dreamcast games. I used to try to keep track of the ones I liked or happened to play a lot, but it was just too annoying. I generally like any non-sports game, with an strong predilection for first person shooters (i.e. Doom, Quake, Unreal) and real time strategy games (i.e. Age of Empires, Starcraft, Myth). I like to play almost any game with or against other people, over the internet or over a LAN (esp. at LAN parties). I also really like Anacreon, tetris, and nethack.
Lately I haven't been playing any games, though, because work has been destroying my soul.
I like many other types of games, most notably abstract, strategy board games like Chess and Go. I also enjoy playing The Settlers of Catan (online java version), Ricochet Robot, Lunch Money, Ebola Monkey Hunt, Illuminati, and Set. A list of the games I own can be found at board game geek.
My other hobbies include yo-yoing, sleep, Origami, juggling, and reading. I also like puzzles, logical games, and psycho-logical games.
I also spend a large amount of time on the internet, reading weird stuff like memepool and my dog wants to be on the radio, or purely geeky stuff like Slashdot.org and kuro5hin.org. I am on ICQ and my UIN is 1603560, but I don't use it much.
I like lots of different kinds of music, but I don't care for 80's music. The only radio station I listen to the local public radio station (90.3 WPLN, Nashville; 91.7 WHRS, Cookeville).
I hate television. I like Babylon 5 and The Simpsons, but not much else.
I don't like most movies.
I don't like graphical browsers much. I prefer Lynx and w3m becuase they are faster. There are even pages that are Dehanced for Lynx. I've also been turned on to the wonders of Opera.
