I know we all love final fantasy and of course video games but what else is everyone into?
I personally love fantasy/Adventure novels. I worked at a locally owned used book store for awhile. Became good friends with the owner, learned to really love reading. After i left for another better paying job the owner gave me her personal collection. She had decided to sell the shop, but didnt want them to have her fantasy/adventure/scifi collection and she had no place to put them.. So i have around 300 novels in my mancave. It started my own collecting of books. Its kinda crazy at this point.
Another hobbie is video game guide books. Its mostly rpg's from the ps1/2/3, GC, xbox and pc.
I also collect alot of movies and classic vhs anime. I have around 200 anime titles from the 80's and 90's.
I like to spend my free time thirfting at pawn shops, flea markets and garage sales. Its something i picked up early on as a child from grandmother. She loved antics and bargins. I learned from the best. Lol
I have lots more but im too lazy to type em all. How about ya'll?

I enjoy watching films and good t.v. shows. I also enjoy the outdoors, although I never get enough time to spend camping and etc. I do enjoy to read, mainly fantasy and fiction. I also love music, even though my musical abilities are limited; namely the fact that I couldn't stay on pitch if my life depended on it.

I wish I still had my old game books. I gave away a ton of books every time I moved. Now that I have a house, I wish I could have them all back. I really wish I would have kept my old strategy guide for Final Fantasy III on the SNES (yeah, VI). I love the Amano Art. I did end up buying the huge ole Amano collection - Sky I think its called. I also read a bunch of Fantasy novels. I took the Tolkien/Lewis route and then moved to Glen Cook's Black Company. An odd transition, hehe. I discovered Dragonlance after that and was pretty much TSR/AD&D novels only for a decade. I still don't feel well-read, but I have been exploring non-gaming related novels. I got turned on to Robin Hobb while working at B&N. The first GRR Martin book had a Hobb blurb on it, so I picked that up (before it was cool, lol). I could talk a ton more about books, but we can make a separate thread for that, or save it for the book podcast. I only did local garage sales for a while. I usually picked up sets that people were dumping: Time Life Mysteries and stuff like that. |

When all my college friends were getting into Magic, my old high school buddies were getting me into Shadowfist. I had a nice templar sword from the 1860s, but gave it to a friend who was much more into steel than I was. Look forward to hearing more of you on this and the other podcasts. |

I have been collecting all of Sanderson, though I will probably not get the leatherbound Legion 2 coming out. I am also missing a few of the Alcatraz books. I have a promotional copy of the first couple of chapters of Wheel of Time. I followed it the whole way. That was a long ride. Good luck on the other ventures. I should post a picture of my bookcases. |

I should post a picture of my bookcases. I'm more of the Song of Ice and Fire kind of guy. Though I do love Eddings, and The Lord of the Rings is an excellent book as well, Martin's series is my favorite. Now if only the fat bastard would finish it!!! |
