I don't feel like sharing that.

I was more curious because I like to compare house prices here in Montana to those else where. I mean, a house like that here, if I was buying it already built by someone else, would be around 200-250k.

I alwasy thought it would be cool to have a "media room" in my house, where I have a projector or something hooked up to my PC so I can play games on a huge screen with a home theater system set up for movies and the like.

Seeing as my house is similar to that I can tell you in my area a house like that is worth $450,000-500,000. We have 1.22 acres though. In Archivis's area the house isn't going to be that much but should still be in the $300,000-350,000 range.

Since Ive gotten my motorcycle I've neglected my local pool hall... With winter coming back faster than I'd like, I may find myself picking up my sticks again.

I also occasionally show my face on a golf course, but anyone would be hard pressed to say that I was "playing" golf.

When you guys here aren't gaming what other hobbies are you in too?

Working, cooking dinner, helping kids with homework, spending time with my wife. I used to play M:TG, but the cost and the time just doesn't allow for it any longer. I usually don't get out of work until after 7 on Fridays so I miss out on FNM and there really isn't anything good going on around here on Saturdays.

If you'll marry me ... I'll dig for you and rake for you

If you'll marry me ... I'll scrub for you and bake for you

If you'll marry me ... All others I'll forsake for you

All this will I do if you'll marry me

You should consider MTG online (not duels of the planeswalkers). You can jump on and do a draft anytime, play constructed in tournaments or just for fun. The cost of singles is a lot lower than paper due to the overwhelming supply in a centralized locale.

If your interested, shoot me a PM and I can help you.

I don't shoot anything that's living, and haven't since I was a teenager (squirrels, crows, etc on grandpa's farm) -- but I'm a supporter of hunting rights and enjoy eating meat that my buddies bring back.

I just turned 40 and it's just in the past couple years that I got into shooting sports. Having a blast... so to speak.

I AM posted : I never really got into guns. My dad loves his guns. He tells me he'll pas them on to me one day along with his electric guitars and other collectibles.

I never got into hunting or fishing much. I told my father he took me too much when I was a child and now I just dislike it. I remember going fishing for HOURS and nothing would bite and he would make us stay because that's what a fisherman does.

I guess I never got into guns much because everytime I killed an animal I felt bad. Like just a second ago that animal was just living and doing his thing and now he's dead. His family is probably staying up late that night waiting for him. Sad.

-I play tennis

-I watch movies/TV shows (re-runs, I can't stand television in this era of my life)
-I spend a lot of time with my GF's family (her nephews, although younger by ~10 years, are all fun kids - I'm 27)

Basically, there aren't enough hours in a regular day. I work 9:30-6:00PM Mon-Fri with weekends/holidays off. I still feel like there isn't time for everything! And after all that, I'm not even married nor do I have my own house.

Hobbies? Man, I wish I had time for hobbies. I have three kids and a wife. I play games because I need to be at home to do whatever needs to be done, but my kids don't require that infant-hover parent mode anymore, so once dinner is taken care of, there isn't much else to do.

I love to cook. I would love to work in a restaurant, but I know the pay is shit. I learned how to cook from my father. My biggest focus is on the grill. He can cook you something on the grill that is better than anything you're going to find in a restaurant. You cannot pay for a better quality meal. I'm not just saying it because he's my father. He was neighbors with a professional chef who would arrogantly bring up his multiple awards. When Thanksgiving came, they sampled each other's meals and the guy was blown away.

The next big project that'll consume my winter and my spring is building a home. This home will be over 3k sq ft when it's done. 4BR, 3BA, on a little over a half care of land in a wooded, private, no HoA, non-cookie cutter development. It's going to have a theater room in the finished basement with tiered flooring for multiple rows of seating. The kitchen will have an indoor hibachi, which I plan on mastering as well. I should have a decent sized deck, an extended 2-car garage and eventually a garden (ala Square Foot Garden style).

For now, my spare time not spent on video games is spent building my home home theater setup (Seen Here: »My Setup ). I should also resume writing my science fiction book that I haven't worked on forever and I had a business idea that I wanted to work on if I really have no time.

Work has been requiring me to get certified in my field, which they're paying for. I've been working on AIX and ITIL certifications.

Damn bro, Im jelly. How much are you throwing down for that house?

tman852 posted : Do it if you ever get the chance, it's absolutely incredible. That weight restriction is pretty much a universal guideline for your safety. It's no offense to you, it's the way the harness system works on tandems. You're going from 120mph to 15mph in about 3 seconds, if you're a bigger guy the harness will push up into you leaving slack in the harness on your body. You could be 250 pounds of solid muscle and that restriction still stands because of the sheer force it takes to stop 250 pounds being too much. What dropzone were you going to do it at?

I couldn't get into any branch because I had a open heart surgery at 11 months old that saved my life. It really isn't a big deal and does not affect me at all whatsoever today, I have no physical restrictions, but I couldn't get a medical waiver for it. Oh well I guess, I'll keep falling out of planes and doing crazy shit on my own time instead of theirs.
