This topic/thread may already be out there, a quick look and I couldn't find it I apologize if I'm stepping on someone else's thread.... Curious what some of us might have in common besides our love of the SMS. What other collections/hobbies do you guys have? I know we have some programmers here and music enthusiasts, car buffs I believe? Before collecting Sega stuff I collected baseball cards as a kid. Today's hobbies include four wheeling with my lifted 89 K-5 Blazer or with the family on our ATVs/dirt bikes.  Also enjoy restoring my 78 Chevy Pickup. I have invested a ridiculous amount of money into making a 4000 lb truck "fast"  I showed you mine, now you show me yours  |

I'm a huge btcc fan (particularly bmr, ciceley racing and motorbase)  I dabble in fantasy football (currently about 900,000th out of just short of 4 million, despite not knowing anything about football) As my signature shows I am writing a novel, its about a reunion of former child stars I also go to classic car shows, comedy shows and when time allows I'll be restocking my fish tank and of course games shows/meet ups. phew, its surprising I have time to go to work and play on the sms |

I collect comics, been collecting them since I was about 8. It's mostly Marvel comics like Spiderman and Avengers, I have a lot of the first appearances like Iron man, Ghost rider, Guardians of the Galaxy, Antman etc.
The oldest ones I have are from the 50s and 60s, but I still buy new releases aswell.
I also keep tropical fish, I have a 500l predator tank

Awesome guys! Keep it coming... I too keep after an aquarium 110 gallon brackish water. About 30 fish and about 11/12 different species. My days of collecting comics was short lived. Marvel only, 90% Incredible Hulk. I think I have nearly everyone from #200-400, its been a while since they were out of the the box.

Outside of gaming my main hobbies and interests are keeping fish, whisky drinking (not so much collecting) and cars. I have a 600 litre Cichlid tank (African lake fish) which takes a fair amount lot of time and money to maintain. I have around 50+ bottles of single malt whisky, mostly open as I don't want to get bogged down in collecting something else. I also go to organised tastings and whisky festivals. I'm taking my Dad to his first ever Whisky master class tomorrow night! My interest in cars has been pretty much since I was a kid, my Mum and Dad always had slightly sporty cars (nothing mega special) first one I can remember was the Astra GTE MK1. My mates have all been into cars too and we go to a couple of car shows every year, this year we are planning a trip to the Goodwood Festival of Speed again. I own a 2013 BMW Z4, it's nothing overly special compared to what some of my mates have or have had but I love it! If you click the link in my siganture I have lots of photos of the above mentioned interests |

Kind of surprising how many here have tropical fish/fish tanks, at first I thought it might have been an inside joke or code for something else  I don't collect anything besides the occasional SMS game so I don't have any other collections. When it comes to hobbies, considering the time spent my main hobby is probably Pro Wrestling related, spend more time watching, reading and listening to something Pro Wrestling related than I do video games. I have a sports interest as well especially following Arsenal, Pittsburgh Penguins & Steelers which I make sure not to miss a match of. And to round it off I'm a minor movie buff, I especially love reading film analysis/theories and an information junkie who spends too much time on the Internet. In other words, my hobbies are all sedentary, no wonder my other personal "hobby" is death anxiety and general anxiety disorder then |

Glenmorangie is nice, they have a lot of different styles out, i've not had a bad one. Ardbeg is my favourite, which coincidently is owned by LVMH (same as Glenmorangie). |

My 160 litre tank takes a bit of time, its heavly planted and i use a co2 fire extinguisher. Id love a 600 litre tank but we live in a tri house, so the living room is upstairs and i wouldn‘t like that much weight on my floor boards.. I must admit there is nothing more relaxing than watching the aquarium at night rather than the tv;) |
