I've always believed that TF2 and cooking were somehow linked with each other. I previously worked part time as a personal chef, and while I realized that that's probably not what I want in a career, I still love spending time in my kitchen.
MarxistMy favorite drinks
Whiskey: Grand Mariner hands down
Gin: Willow is the best I've had, but Tanqueray will do most times.
Grand Mariner? I don't think I've heard of that one.
Also, if you ever get the chance to have Rusty Blade gin, do it in a heartbeat and never look back. I'm not a huge fan of gin (by itself anyways, I like it for mixed drinks and punches), but it's probably one of the top 3 spirits I've ever had.

Grand Marnier is a Cognac (technically a whiskey) infused with (what are basically) tangerines. Typo in the first post :( lol

I can appreciate other types of whiskey, I drank a lot of bourbon in college to make short of it, but if I'm gonna splurge on a fancier whiskey, we're going straight to Grand Marnier. It tastes like an orange popsicle - the kind you buy in the plastic baggy things.
One of my best friends is a real gin connoisseur so I picked up a lot of that from him, I'll have him track down some rusty blade for experimentation. Higher end gin tastes fine on its own - low end gin... well you may as well just drink a bottle of Christmas tree smell spray. It'll be cheaper and you'll at least have a fun story to tell the ambulance. If it's Tanqueray or below I'll mix it with tonic and a lime. A lot of whiskeys basically have to be mixed with water to make them tolerable if you intend to drink it (unless you can handle drinking a camp fire without retching - I'm looking at you Jack Daniels).

I'm really interested in the arts, I'm an Animation-Illustration major so I can possibly work in movies, TV shows/cartoons, videogames, product design, comic books, etc. The fine arts and classic illustration are also things I love and done a bit of self study on.
Aside from my academics I also enjoy film history, entomology, aquariums and my fish, classical violin [did that for 12 years before I went to college], cosplay, selling my art at conventions, videogames sometimes, playing with dogs, and concerts.

Rudimentary snare drumming (DCI, WGI), both teaching and performing, but studying computer science. Looks like there's a lot of CS people in the TF2 community, which is not surprising.

I have been playing the saxophone for 8 years. In the summer, I ride horses and sail. As far as sports go, I run every season: Cross Country, Indoor Track, and Outdoor Track. In the winter I like to ski, and have been doing that since before I can recall. Year round, I play video games.
Career-wise. I worked for about a year to get my pilots licence, and I have been flying privately for about a year.
School-wise, I love physics, despite my being poor at math, but English is by far my best subject. I lived in Switzerland for about a year, and I am fluent in French and English, pretty good at German, and I'm learning Spanish in school.

I always thought Grand Marnier was more of a brandy liqueur? I love adding it to punches and certain cocktails but I'd never thought of drinking it straight. It'd probably be a little sweet for my tastes.
If you're looking for a good low end gin for gin and tonics I'd recommend New Amsterdam. It's more citrus than juniper, which is perfect for a G&T. And at least in California, it was pretty reasonably priced for the quality.
As far as whiskey goes, I can't really condone watering it down unless it's sitting about 100 proof. Otherwise you're losing all those delicious subtle notes. Although if you're going hiking and want a pleasant buzz without bloating or impairment, the best choice is watering down whiskey to about 5-10%. That being said, whiskey is usually the only thing I'll drink so my preferences are probably a lot different than those who have more varied consumption.

i like to play games. like how a film enthusiast watches movies, i play them more than once and focus on different things. i'm really into what makes a game fun.
beyond that, computers and hardware are super interesting

Picking heavy things up and put them down again. Also really interested in Olympic Weightlifting, unfortunately there is no club where i live and learning the lifts by yourself takes a lot of time.

Golfing, cycling, soccer, skiing, and hiking in terms of outdoor hobbies. Academically, I enjoy computer science and electrical engineering. Pokemon and TF2 are what I play for fun when relaxing, but I also enjoy watching speedruns and DOTA2. If you're in college I'd say just try a bunch of different clubs, stop in for a meeting or two and see if it interests you, or just try a bunch of different things with friends. Don't force yourself to do anything you don't enjoy though.

Lifting weights, other video games, programming, maths, computer hardware and electronic music.
I also enjoy cooking but don't really have time/can't be bothered to cook very often.
I've also played drums for "8 years", but haven't touched them in 4 years since moving away from home and not having space in my inner city flats for a drum kit :'(

I enjoy hikes and nature walks because I live in a great place for it, and I've always wanted to try painting but I've never got around to it.

I'm a math CS double major with my math being primarily focused on discrete math.
Basically, I love graph theory, which is best summed up as "the analysis of relationships between things". It's a lot of fun and has tons of applications everywhere. Plus, there are a bunch of interesting unsolved problems.
Non-academically, I play tf2, quake, and mtg.

+1 for discrete math. I'm just getting into graph theory. It's pretty hard to learn on your own but it's really interesting.

Programming, mainly game development. I also really like the world of infosec, too bad I don't know shit about it. I still end up watching Defcon and Black Hat talks all day though because they are awesome even though I have no idea what half of it means.
