First game I remember playing
In 1975 my dad brought home the Magnavox Odyssey Deluxe with the first light gun. In the arcade I remember playing "Warriror" every chance I could get, but that was much later.

All-time favorite game
XCOM: UFO Defense force
Non-video gaming hobbies
Table Top gaming, War Games (Warhammer 40k) Mordheim, I also like to paint figures and have a fairly sizable army of Necrons fully painted. Tyranids are next, and then my Skaven 40k army based on Imperial Guard Codex.

I have a massive Movie collection of over 400 choice (and not so choice) moves and TV shows. So i guess its not a stretch to say i like watching movies.

I got the little bartenders "Black Book" as a gift a few years back and since have accumulated a professional Bar's quantity of alcohol. I don't really drink all that much, but collecting the bar, playing amateur bar tender, and sharing it with friends is always fun.
Favorite bands/music
To much to list them all. It depends on my mood and it varies across the board. Everything from classical to The Beatles and Stones to The Clash, Misfits, Flogging Molly, Ruby, Garbage, Blink 182, Bowling for Soup, Nerf Hearders, on and on....
Favorite TV shows
Burn Notice, Stargate:SG-1 Boston Legal, Fire Fly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battle Star Galactica, Babylon 5
