Default What have I missed?

I only read the first couple of pages when there was only 3 guys in the thread and the women were harassing them
In any event, here are my hobbies. Most of them will be considered "manly" I hope hehe
1) Computers - Obviously, since I'm a programmer, computers are a big part of my life. Along with that has been computer gaming. I used to do a lot more gaming on the PC until I got my Xbox. However, I still play some games like Command & Conquer 3 (RTS games suck on Xbox), Tomb Raider, and my wife and I play Sims 2. I also have a Lan party with my wife, sister, and her boyfriend and we play Age of Empires 2. I also miss playing road rash. I absolutely LOVED the first Red Alert, and can't wait for 3 to come out!

2) Consoles - My first console ever was a Sega Genesis (my parents were brainwashed and thought the Nintendo would ruin the TV) and then I waited until the Xbox to get back into consoles. I now have an Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii. I love Splinter Cell (been waiting for Conviction forever it seems) as well as Halo (have all 3) and Forza 2 with the Xbox racing wheel (one of the awesomest experiences I've ever had with a gaming console with the wheel's force feedback). Oh, and GRAW. On the Wii we've downloaded some classics like Super Mario Bros 1 & 3, Punchout, and Zelda. For actual Wii games we have Paper Mario, Super Mario Galaxy, Zelda Twilight Princess, and we just bought Super Smash Bros (although I believe that game is way over-hyped.)

3) Hockey - It's the only sport I can watch without falling asleep. I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan, so I'm a happy camper right now with them up 3-0 in their series with Dallas. I like to play hockey video games and love to play street hockey, but all my high school friends I used to play with moved away and I have nobody left to play with However, I do like to play golf and bowl, and I'm taking a beginning tennis class with my wife and we are enjoying that.

4) TV - When my wife graduated and got a job, I rewarded myself for paying her tuition with a plasma HDTV. My wife and I love: 24, Lost, CSI, Smallville, & The 4400 (before it was canceled).

One aspect you could call me girly about is that I don't like beer that much. However, I will down a margarita any day of the week. Though this may make me seem girly, trust me, I'm not. I often threaten anyone at the table that I even think will make fun of me when I order one. However, I have no problem with some Jack & Coke or a Long Island, so I go for balance.

Oh, and I saw something about hot chicks. The one I would like is Jennifer Love. My wife knows it and said if I had a chance, I could take it. It's my "free pass." She better hope Jennifer Love doesn't start making movies in Louisiana
