I have the same original set of dice I bought when I started gaming regularly in 1997. I've added maybe 10 dice to it since then, but all the originals are still there.
I've been playing since 1985 amd can say with absolute certainty I've lost (lost, not traded or given away) only 5 dice out of my collection of hundreds. It's just about the only thing I obsess over. However, I'm not one of those players who freaks out if someone else touches my dice. I'm proud of my little gems and if someone wants to look at them, feel free.
I almost always play video games on the easiest difficulty. The only exception is the Left 4 Dead games.

I prefer to play video games on easy too. I've only played 1 game on a hard difficulty setting: Mass Effect. I only did it once, and now I just do it on easy because I really don't care about the combat as much as the story.
I also buy WAY more tabletop gaming books than I'll likely ever use in a lifetime. My addiction started back in The World's Oldest Roleplaying Game's 3rd edition, then it's 4th, and now it's Pathfinder, dabbling a bit in White Wolf and Fantasy Flight's Midnight setting.
I also REALLY love crummy adaptations of Arthurian legend. Whether it's Hallmark's Merlin miniseries, First Knight, The Last Legion or that REALLY historically inaccurate one with Keira Knightley. About the only adaptation I HAVEN'T seen is the Merlin TV show, and that's because I don't have cable at home.
It's on Netflix.
It's pretty awful. There's that Camelot show too
Hmmm....
I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin I think. The main "guilty pleasure" I have in life is the one that doesn't make sense "revealing" on these boards because that "guilty pleasure" is "I enjoy pretending to be weird fantasy characters fighting weirder fantasy creatures while moving tiny little figurines I painted around on maps of make believe worlds."
It's probably the reverse approach that is relevant here, what are the "normal" things I do that tend to be unusual amongst gamers? Here's a list:
1. I love to hunt and fish, and I own lots of guns and fishing gear.
2. I golf.
3. I love to watch football games on TV and in the stadium.
4. I love to listen to baseball games on the radio and watch them in the ballpark.
5. While I love me some good RPG gaming, in general I prefer to be outside doing outdoorsy stuff like hiking, hunting, fishing, boating, walking or even stargazing.
Since other people mentioned foodstuffs.... here's my list of stuff I like to eat that I probably shouldn't:
1. Mint chip ice cream with that hard-shell fudge stuff on top and about a half-bowl of coke or root beer poured in.
2. Cheetohs cheese puffs.
3. Whoppers with mustard (no pickles though)
4. Klondike bars.
5. Hershey's Kisses.

4. I love to listen to baseball games on the radio and watch them in the ballpark.
WEIRDO!!!!!!
that REALLY historically inaccurate one with Keira Knightley.
one of my favorite movies. Will stop to watch it when it's on.
ADs whole list seems pretty aberrant to me.
4. I love to listen to baseball games on the radio and watch them in the ballpark.
Interesting. I much prefer baseball on radio and in the ballpark compared to on TV as well. I wonder why that is.

Okay, I have to woman up here: I walk around the house singing "Conjunction Junction".
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the most accurate to Malory adaptation of the Arthur myth ever! :Por that REALLY historically inaccurate one with Keira Knightley.As opposed to the amazingly accurate Arthurian adaptations?
Actually... the wedding slaughter scene is straight from Mallory, IIRC. Lancelot, for no apparent reason anyone understood, massacred everyone at a wedding.

I LOVE "Schoolhouse Rock!" Conjunction Junction is one of my favorites. "Three is a Magic Number" and "I'm Just a Bill".... I sing them all the time. Now I'll be having them go through my head all day long...

+1. The only thing that gets stuck on my head on par with Schoolhouse Rock is church hymns, for some bizarre reason.
