We seem very polarized here. There's a sliver of us who are obessed with music, anothe sliver who is obsessed with video games, and the others are obsessed with cartoons/anime. (Or other television.) And then there's the people who GO OUTSIDE? WHAT? So it's pretty obvious for each person, but I want to see how this is divided.

I like Music, Anime, and Video Games.

But when it comes to television, I don't watch very much.

And what about reading? I do quite a bit of that. :p

Is it possible to like them all? Outside is fun, when there's not a flood coming by. Anime = awesome. Music is what keeps me sane in the car, and Video Games are not to be forgotten either...

Same for me. Except I haven't seen much anime for a while now, so my tastes could have changed.

All of the above.

I don't venture outside much, but I do have a nice [s]Farmer's tan[/s] suntan.

Well, considering that I'm a musician/composer by trade and received my Bachelor of Music, I think you guys can figure out what I picked as my obsession. ;)

As you could probably tell, video games are my forte. Unlike THAT TEFF who never finishes 'em (seriously, you haven't finished Wind Waker? I'll take that Zelda crown offa you), I'll play for hours until I finish.

It goes like this for me: Video Games > TV > Music

Well, I like video games, but I wouldn't say I'm obbsessed. Not at all. I've only just begun playing video games again, after a logn time of barely any (And I still don't play that much). Music is a big part of my life, but I'm not sure I'm obbsessed, I just love it. But sicne the closest is music, I'll go with that.

Out of all of thoe, video games. I love my games! I like music but not in the obsession sense, and TV is... OK. And yeah, what ABOUT reading? I'm going to the library today to check out some new books. Huh? Huh? HUH? *antagonistic*

Gaming and animation. Possibly not in that order.

Music and games.
Music more than anything else, when you compare my music obsession to my gaming obsession, the gaming obsession seems more like "Yeah, I know what a video game is"

Video Games. And the only Anime I liked was Digimon, but that was a while ago.
Oh and dont want to go off topic, but I like Sci-fi.

Most people can tell I'm way into music. Judging by my hardcore defense of Green Day, Blink 182, and other poplular music, which I may add yet again does not suck, you should be able to tell that I am into music.

Fav's: Green Day, Blink 182, System of a Down, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. I like mostly alternative rock (pop punk is very good), and classic rock. Surprisingly, I like very little metal.

Least fav's: Rap. Most of the time, it isn't even music. Just techno riffs and electronic drumset. I need real instruments to be satisfied. I will make an exeption or two, like Lose Yourself by Eminem which has a sweet guitar riff. I also hate techno, most pop, and country.

Music. I always listen to music. When I'm on the computer, when I go for walks, while skateboarding (I almost killed my CD player that one time), while reading, and other times.

As for the cartoons/anime thing, TV in general is second. Not nessecarily cartoons and definently not anime. I do not like anime.

I barely play video games. All I have video game wise is a Magnavox Oddesey², A Super Nintendo, and a Game Boy Advance. None of which I play very much.

- I never watch TV, except when my computer and iPod have been FORCIBLY TORN FROM ME. I do download episodes of a few TV cartoons off LimeWire, but not that often because they often take quite a while to DL.

- I don't play a WHOLE lot of video games, either, and I'm not too keen on the newest consoles. My needs are entirely fulfilled by PC, my N64, and my Gameboy Advance SP; I don't have any other platforms and I don't plan on getting any.

- Music. Okay. I adore music. I download new songs every day. I am constantly attached to my iPod like it's an IV. 'Cept in my ears. I listen to a wide variety of music in the ska, rock, pop, and gothic genres. And that's just being broad. I'm quite the music MAKER too, I'm sure you've all seen the songs I've written, and you know I'm a serious singer. My life practically revolves around music.

---

So, I guess my choice should be obvious.

TV, I don't watch all that much, though I am attached to this Laptop. *Hugs laptop*

:p

For videro games, I play them every day, and I LOVE them, though I've been at an all time low because I have no new video games... T_T

And music, I listen to ALL the time. (Mostly)

So, I chose music and videro games.

I'd have to say going outside and video games. Never been much of a music guy.

You don't have to be an awesome artist to LIKE art, yanno. Look at me! All I draw is cartoons, and I'm not a great color-er, but I do like art a lot. :P

Hm. It's a tie between Music and Going Outside. I used to be into video games, but now I go for the classic video games.

Music, but unfortunately for me, I lack the attention span/drive/passion/whathaveyou to learn how to play an instrument, so I stick to appreciating the music I listen to.

my dad hates me playing them, though. he says they rot your mind. he says all you do is move, and shoot. he doesn't know i play the legend of zelda games. those require a lot more thinking.

no, i mean use the lens of truth, push the blocks, look for the pattern, that stuff.
anyway, move and shoot is better than watching TV. all you do is sit.
video games can't be that bad. i have excellent hand-eye coordination. when i started playing video games, i had to look down at the game pad each time.
