places i like to go to:
www.joecartoon.com - weird but kewl flash stuff
www.evilbible.com - when i "one of those" agressions against the christian religion
www.stone-age.net - a german online php/mysql game... pretty neat

and i really like those fancy little games like:

Click to expand...

I dont think you can ever Finish all games either emulated or Real Console/PC Based games.

I have played all N64 games in my time and still do when i get the chance.
As for Nes, Snes, Mame, Lynx, CoolcoVision, GBA, GB/C, PSX, PS2, GC, PC, ETC < that was all in one breeth btw :p

Its impossible to have played all games.

I dont have time to do anything but work at the computer these days but if i do have spare time its spent with my wife on good Old Quality Time and watching TV or a good film.

I don't REALLY have spare time. But occasionaly I can waste my valuable time in the arcade playing hex, Be damned if i can get past 42. Me and the GF play alot of dr mario in 1964, I have a tv card, so i can scan channels. I also really like winamp radio stations. Here's my attached playlist of radio stations:

Then of course there's about 3000 different games to play in emulation, and submit feedback to plugin authors etc. Or I fire up dreamweaver and pretty up one of the 4 sites that i webmaster.

Things I never do anymore:
IRC
Build Quake 2/3 levels
Read political news
email for fun.

I used to do all that on occasion, but they are all gone now in favor of the above.

Kinda wierd to think about.

Everything I shouldn't be doing, e.g. posting here, at NGEmu, and places I can't name because I'd get banned, reading webcomics, looking through themes and wallpapers, etc.

I would gratefully take some spare time from you if that were possible, so you can't get bored and I can have some spare time to use :p.

But when I should be doing any assignment/work I should be doing I usually spend some time here (that arcade page is very good), in the jetaudio forums, waiting gent's next idea for a program, or programming in vb stuff I may have promised for some time ago :p

When I'm bored (or avoiding homework), I check all my email accounts, then check www.ocremix.org (great place for videogame music remixes) then check some of the news that's going on in the world via netscape.com and google.

currently spare time is rare, but if i ever do get bored, which has happened there are a few options ...

a) read webcomics (see sig). over the years i have collected enough boredom to have read every single strip of 7 massively updated webcomics
b) pop in a cd and crank up the volume
c) post a political rant on the nvnews.net board
d) log onto instant messenger and talk about random shit

things i have stopped doing for my own good:

a) ircing, you know its bad for you but you cant stop
b) spend more than 2 hours logged on to an instant messenger, same reason

well thats if im at the computer, which i try to avoid. better so calling up some friends is a more productive way to spend the time.

lol, damn.. i break both of 2fast4u's rules

I idle or chat on msn or irc 24/7.. unless im travelling somewhere, but even then i leave my machine connected.

First call of the day is the news sites, then the forums, then webcomics.. maybe some wrestling sites. Check emails and then if at work.. buy 2 bannanas and begin work (seriously). Or at home contemplate what to aquire next/decide what game to play.

Often i end up spending so long just surfing and listening to music that i dont get time to game..

recently it's been: Kill a few reaperbots, play a lan game of something (worms 3d, CS, HL, Quake), emulate whatever hasn't already been emulated a million times already, and maybe fuck around hex editing old games or just seeing how I can screw with them. Sucks when you don't have the net in your room...

Always listening to music.

I prey, not pray.
I rarely have more than 5 hours of free time per week these days (taking 16 credit hours this semester...) I spend it either playing natural selection (see the image link in my sig) or hacking at my directivo. I also visit the following sites on occasion:

news.google.com (my browsers start page)
www.dealdatabase.com/forum (I am a bit well known there)
slashdot.org (though the editing decisions there have really sucked lately)
