What else is your love besides gaming???

[SABRE]

While I love to game, it is not my first love. My first love is my bike. There is nothing like being out on the open road with the wind hitting your face!!!

Rock and roll and concerts!!!!

Nice bike.  To answer your question:  I like chess; been playing for 35+ years, & it's satisfying to build a repertoire over time & enjoy the game @ all time controls.  My favorite opening as white is the English.  The Sicilian, French, & Nimzo-Indian as Black.  Outdoor activities are also at the top of my list.  Hiking, fishing, hunting, target shooting.  There are some lakes & surrounding countryside I've frequented since I was 7 or so years old;  I know the area like the back of my hand & feel at home there in my quietude.  Rolling hills, flat-top ridges, narrow valleys & slopes populated with hardwood trees & their denizens.  Online gaming, of course, is another passion of mine.  Been playing video games since 1978 & make a point of exploring any new custom map across which I come in Cod4.  Know most of the more popular maps very well.  Was into map making for a few years ago in the heyday of Cod4 mapping & modding.  Reading is another favorite passtime of mine.  Western Civilization from Hammurabi to the Greeks through Medieveal time up to the present; a rich & entertaining narrative to explore.  Fiction would be Stephen King, Tolkien,  Harold Robbins, Dean Koontz, etc.  Jiddu Krishnamurti, Thomas Merton, & Gary Zukav would top my philosophy/spiritual list.  I also collect jade from around the world;  some jadeite, mostly nephrite jade.  Anywhere continental plates come together, there's jade to be found.  California, South America, New Zealand, Canada, Russia, to name a few places from which I've collected.  I plan on working some my pieces when I get around to setting up a shop & procuring the necessary equipment.  Heirloom tomatoes is another favorite of mine.  I've collected about 75 varieties to-date & grow 10 or so each year for harvest, & a few plants from my collection on a rotating basis to refresh any aging seeds.  Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Kellogg's Breakfast, Brandywine Sudduth Strain, Aunt Rubies German Green are the ones I grow every season as they are fantastic.  Custom paperweights & numistmatics are also occasional hobbies of mine.  Guess that's more than enough for now.

First love is my car then the bike. Both are getting makeovers then cruise time. Bike will be done first since the car will require a lot more money to finish. End of the year I will order the parts for the car.

History. I have a love for history.

I jerk off a lot. But they won't let me post a picture.

[Smeggie]

When I am not spending what little free time I have with my wife, I volunteer at my local fire company and also run a small photography business.  My passion is photography.  But gaming is where I go to escape all the other drama and BS of life.

A good nights sleep with no alarm clock.

Other than gaming my passion is my exotic pets. I have one Leopard Gecko named Sylvester, three Asian Black Forest Scorpions named Little Buddy, Feisty and Shy and one Red Bellied Piranha named Skippy. I love them very much and they are spoiled LOL.
