Do you have hobbies stranger than cubing?

Memorising pi, as you might have guessed by my signature.

Oh good only 510 more digits to memorise to get 10 dollars!
 
Competitive gaming. Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl are my best games, though also quite a bit of Starcraft.

Got into Melee a bit late to really be competitive, but I was in the brawl scene from the beginning and always place high in tourneys, even won some locals.

I love any fighting games, really. Guilty Gear is my non-smash fighter of choice, Robo Ky all the way!
 
Speedcubing is my primary hobby atm, but before that I used to play Super Monkey Ball on Nintendo Gamecube obsessively. Surprisingly I'm ranked #5 on elitescores.com (Deku Sprout). I still have an untied WR in S10-7 Postmodern (SMB2) of 9,950. w00t

Before that it was Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, and Zelda. Ahhhh, the good old days, before everything started to suck.

i once heard of sth called worm charming. the aim is to scare off worms (with noise) so that they come out of the ground.
thats like the strangest thing i can think of
 
I beat Gh2, gh3, and ghwt on expert...

This

Yup yup! Although I only have GH3. I realllllly need a personal trainer. Can't even 5-star TTFAF on hard... :( Pass every song on expert though (except the mentioned).

You stuck on intro of TTFAF expert by any chance? It's all about the elbow strum...

The way I play the intro is to anchor your index finger on the green button and strum for every note that isn't green. Quickly release each press in time to get the pull-off green note.

I've actually beaten TTFAF (expert) playing with my left hand over the neck like a piano :D

Anyone get the Bladder of Steel award on expert for Rock Band 2? My friend and I played guitar and bass and it took about 7 hours or so.

I personally find the elbow strum a lot harder than just hitting the first note. The way I do it is to hit up to the first blue note with my left hand, and then hit the second with my right. Everytime I try the elbow strum I never hit it.

That's my strangest hobby I guess, is Guitar Hero. I'm not the best (barely 4* TTFAF on Expert, I can't alt-strum to save my life.), but I've near FC'd a few somewhat difficult songs. I can hit both the solos in Cult of Personality in practice mode, but I always mess up in real runs.
 
hmmm, I've recently been playing chess a LOT. I've gone from playing maybe every now and again to playing daily and actually learning different attacks, tactics, openings, etc.

Also, similar to pen spinning, I've been doing something that I kinda started. I've been carrying a water bottle around with me recently and just started doing little tricks and flips with it. It's actually pretty fun.
 
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.
 
Memorizing pi, too. Only at 370, sorta losing steam. I also penspin a bit. I also memorized the periodic elements in order 2 quarters ago up to almost 100 I think?

I do BLD
