Other interests besides music

by **Immortalicide** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:15 pm

Im sure there must have been another thread on this topic, but i've started another one!!! Just wondering what interests you guys have outside of the world of music. Personally, i love cassic 70s and 80s cars and have a 1981 ford fiesta, and a 1986 modified ford capri. It is a standard 2-litre laser (sports model), but has had a bda bodykit added as well as a whale tail spoiler. It goes in the garage on tuesday to have a kent fr32 fast road camshaft fitted (approx + 20-25 hp), and future mods will include an RS 4branch 4-into-1 performance manifold and a new leather recaro interior (when i can afford to get it re-upholstered). I love thrashing 80s metal :lol:

i also have a nice collection of Dennis Wheatley first editions which i've collected over a few years, and also a collection of Dragons from enchantica (owned by Royal Dalton). So what about the rest of you? What interests you outside the world of metal???

I skateboard, read, hang out with my friends, graff, art, make weird electro, play video games, play football, tennis, girls, sandwiches, work at the shop, tai chi, sleep. Oh and UK Thrash.

I also do none of these things some times and just be a lazy bar-steward. :lol:

Do you get an attack point bonus with that? :lol:

When I'm not thrashing out, I'm probably designing videogames, writing TV shows, collecting comics or debating politics. Currently I'm a level designer for an unpaid machinima project in the Source engine, and I'm writing my own projects alongside that. Of-course I'd get a lot more done if it wasn't for the internet...

Cool, how old are you?? I always wanted one but they are not practical cars when u have 3 kids, however, since my divorce, i went and got myself 2!!! Ive sold the one of them now, but would keep this one even if i won the lottery, however it would probably look more like this

Lol at the picture, I am 20. I plan on keeping the thing for a long, long time. As long as the thing decides to keep moving.

I would get a 2.0 or even a 2.8i but insurance is a bitch.

I like George Romero movies.

I like the original three "of the dead" movies, after that it all went to hell.

If you're stupid it did.

by **Dian Wei** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 6:12 pm

Or in reality land Romero started breaking his own rules and bad remakes happened then it all went to hell.

Ditto. I met him at the NEC a couple of years ago. Nice bloke. Very polite.

Other than music, my main interests are trying hard, but ultimately failing to stop the wife from nagging me, trying to keep my 2 year old daughter constantly entertained, Liverpool FC and horror films.

My other interests, well i am quite the computer geek also. My specs are nowhere near as impressive but i am due for an upgrade later in the week. I'll post them up then.

I also enjoy movies, books, video games, comics (Hellboy ftw). I am also the head of a mod team for the PC game Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl. Early design phase, but if you are interested in all that kind of jazz then check us out at http://mods.moddb.com/5111/the-diary/.
