How much of a Dork are you??

That Titanium stuff must of cost you a pretty penny. I've got so many hobbies I have to draw the line on some things, I'm sure my RC truck has cost me almost 1k this year including purchase. I'm a basher so I am not about to invest a lot into something I'm gonna send 20ft into the air at 40mph.
I do have manly hobbies though like hunting and fishing and gun collecting
Come out my way and you might see me booning out in the woods in the jeep with a few guns to take out target shooting, playing Big and Rich on my way there. I'm like a Dorky semi-Redneck guy *shrug*

I have a bunch of r/c stuff but I kinda got bored of breaking stuff all the time. It just so happened my real car was more reliable than my r/c car. I still have two sport trucks, the monster revo I sold for a pretty penny. I also had a hopped up jato- probably the most fun one Ive driven- especially on the road. It broke a lot though, so I sold it.

you think those are expesive, try racing oval at a national level for 10+ years travelling all over the country..... you havent spent **** on that stuff LOL. On the average race year with 3 national events we would spend about 8 grand on motors, battery packs and tires... and that was with sponsorship. Building a real car hasn't proved to be that much worse then that to be honest.... and at least there is an offseason, and the thrill is WAY better LOL
I love screwing around with my nitro truck, even though I break it almost every time me and my buddy bring 'em out. Other than that, I'm really into table tennis, and REALLY into Madden Online for PS2 (too oor for PS3 still

Great answers folks, Im sure there is going to alot more when people get home.
I also read trade paper backs, which are comic books bound into one volume. I dont care to collect every week but I like reading the stories. Currently I read the Ultimate Series from Marvel. I collect X-men and Spiderman.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Marvel this WAAAAAAAY better then the regular series, definitly more adult and more graphic and gritty.
Also a big fan of Black and white pencil art such as Frank Miller's Sin City

Remember folks...
The person whom you call dork now you may be calling boss later
I can already contest to that for people saying that to me in Highschool, though I did play football...wtf?

As far as art goes I've always been a fan of HR Giger (yup more aliens)
http://giger.com
I like the biomechanical stuff like that. (was always a tatoo idea I had)
Never got really into comics, but I did collect a hell of a lot of micro machines when I was a kid. And I got Voltron/Transoformers paraphenalia still.
I'm probably aiming for at least top 3 in this thread:
I've built my own computers. I came close to pimping my computer and getting one of those entirely clear computer cases and adding all the neons and lights to it, but never did. I also contemplated overclocking my CPU and getting a larger heatsink/fan but decided not to since it would cost the same to just get a faster processer.
I made my own cover version of the Mega Man 2 Dr Wily's castle level song with my guitar, bass, drum machine, and cheap 4 track recorder about 8-10 years ago. It sounds awesome, lol
I listen to Dragonforce
Some of my favorite movies are Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Matrix Trilogy, various superhero movies made as of late, various cult movies like The Warriors.
I have had Atari 2600, Intellivision, NES, SNES, Gameboy, Sega Genesis, N64, PS1, PS2, Gamecube, XBox, XBox 360 in my lifetime. I'm a big final fantasy fan, played FF1, FF2(4), FF3(6), FF5(not made in america), FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Chrono Trigger, Mystic Quest. I also have been playing Halo 2 religiously since I got it 2 years ago.
I put a blue neon in my Camaro before
And I set my Camaro up for turning
there's more, I just haven't thought of them all yet...

The title of this post should be, "How cool are you?" because playing video games and reading comic books are certainly cool and far from dorky. Stuff that's dorky are the following:
Wearing your polo collar up;
Wearing muscle tees;
Wearing tight t-shirts;
Wearing sunglasses indoors;
Not wearing a shirt at all;
Acting fake just to pick up a stupid ho
All of the above are dorky. I know I'm cool, because I don't do any of the above. I just play video games and be my unpretentious self.

overclocking's free (to an excessive point when you need to buy additional cooling products e.g. fans, upgrading to liquid cooling, etc)...differ motion +1

Me and you gotta talk! lol
My friends got me into starcraft a few summers ago, I never thought I'd get into that (**** it looked so complicated) but they let me use their free copy and I was hooked, never played warcraft and haven't played much of starcraft in a longtime but recently i've gotten excited over the news of starcraft 2!
