RE: What do you do, and why?
I am a self taught pianist and guitarist. I play music not only because it sounds good, but I get a buzz from being able to play something that is a) something I like to listen to and b) usually technically demanding. Whenever I finish a piece I've been working on for a while, I like to show my mates and stuff, and basically show off my latest burst of prowess. Unfortunately, there's not too much stuff on my Youtube as I haven't uploaded stuff for a while, and so my best stuff is not available to view - yet. There are Tim Minchin covers (his best songs clearly) recorded about 2 years ago, of which no one else has covered. So there is that! I'm not gonna lie, I can be a bit of a big head when it comes to music, although I do get very depressed and demoralised when I see some 7 year old Asian kid (I'm not racist by the way) playing Grade 8 Chopin easily due to the fact they've had lessons rammed up their derrieres since they were 2.

I also work a lot on PSP themes. I like to browse through existing themes, and then get a spark of inspiration that sets me on with another project. I do this for 2 reasons. First being that I simply like to customize my PSP. Second, I am actually grateful (don't laugh) that this kind of thing exists. Hacking, customizing, emulating. The fact that I can play everything I had as a kid, all on one console and relive those childhood memories any time I want - that's fudgeing awesome. Couldn't do any of it without all those that figured all this spoon out though, all the coding and such. And so releasing themes here and there is my contribution. Having people appreciate my efforts is pretty damn cool too :D

A recent hobby of mine is hacking Super Metroid (my favourite game of all time). It's like learning a completely new language, so a slow process for me. If anyone here played that game and thought it was amazing, I strongly recommend popping over to metroidconstruction.com and having a look-see at what people have created.

I smoke weed (that's all though, nothing 'hard') which enhances all of the above and whatever else I do. I do do other stuff, but I'm doing a Tetris999, and typing this is distracting me from my current project.
