Do you have hobbies stranger than cubing?

About all the GH3 comments, I haven't really tried practicing it for a long time. I'm just too lazy. I hate the elbow start though. Finger tapping is my weak suit.

If you have long fingers you can get away with one-handing most of it :P Elbow strumming is more trouble than it's worth. It only took like a couple days from the start of practicing that part until I beat TTFAF the first time. The real problem is that you spend so much time practicing the intro, you think it's all good until you get to the solo.
 
I found that my method worked best for me...I tried quite a few and I'm sure other methods work just as well for other people - I hold the green with my right middle and play the rest with my left hand. I hit the first note with my right elbow and 100% the intro otherwise I fail (because I generally can't get restarted with an elbow strum). I tend to get through it 90% of the time. I got bored of GH about 6 months ago though - I find the slide bar thing on the new guitars just a step too far - if you can't play real guitar then you shouldn't be made to think that you can just because you can slide a finger up and down a guitar neck! :p

I don't have any hobbies as big as cubing, but I play table football (some people here probably call it foosball) for my uni.
 
Bodybuilding and collecting gunpla.

I guess the combination of hobbies I do is more strange.

I would say that I have pretty long fingers (go piano!). I sometimes end go and green-blue with my index and middle finger.

I really don't want to go into the elbow strum. The hard part for me isn't getting the moving notes, it's hitting them at the right time to be able to get the greens.

I always switch to the next note exactly halfway between the two. Even when I'm playing on Easy, it's just natural for me. So when I try TTFAF I always miss the greens.
 
Lots of Fire Emblem, although I'm not very good at it. I used to be in competitive trampoline (or gymnastics, if you prefer, but that's not very manly), but it got really expensive and they wanted me to wear a leotard. :( Lots of fun though.

And during the fall, marching band = life. But cubing on all the long trips. :p

TTFAF taught me the bad habit of ALWAYS anchoring my index on green. I pretty much always hold down some key. As long as you hold down green with left index, hit yellow with left middle, and then orange/blue with right index/middle, it's not too hard. I tried using only my right hand to hit all non-greens and couldn't do it fast enough.

While the GH subject is still open, I've been trying to learn the tapping for Buckethead's Jordan. If you thought TTFAF intro was hard to tap, this one is crazy. I can't do it even on slowest.
 
Googlrr, I always anchor on Red. :D

So much easier to go down, than up. Unless I know the next part of the song (which I usually do...) I always try to get my index on Red.
 
Hmm... I play the baritone for band. However, I'm in a fall sport so I won't be joining marching band when I reach High School no matter how much I would like to do both.

I only play one video game regularly atm. My opponent on that battle wasn't very good though. Outa sync too =/

Whether these are strange depends on what you think of strange :)
 
If painting and drawing is strange, I´m in!
