Work. I don't even own a PC at home. Don't see the point. I'm on one all damn day, why would I want one at home? No thanks, I have a life to live.

Mostly neffing, then gaming as a close second. ;)

Edit: Actually, HDTV watching might tie with gaming

add a bit of coding, and remove the HD- from HDTV and I'd call it accurate. :D

close, but not close enough. all this time i might have watched like a couple H series and thought only one of them was decent. the rest were craptastic to mediocre.
but gaming encompasses gyaruge some with h-material and some of messageboards i visit on regular basis are picture trading boards. i wouldnt post links to be SFW :)

Why would you watch anime pron when there is real pron to be watched?
Good question. I am not a huge fan of H-anime since they arent that great of quality in terms of drawing and plot for most part... but to play the devil's advocate, why do you think people continue to drink apple juice based on concentrates when no one is restricting them from drinking 'real' squashed apple juice? or play NBA street when they could play REAL bball game with their homies? perhaps becauze the 'fake' products offer something beyond and above what the 'real' originals could. on a side note, I have invested a fair share of money and research for some time in audio gear, and came to realize that what many people are after is not exact, analytical reproduction of sound; more often than not, they will pay outrageous amounts for euphonically distorted versions they find 'musical', 'natural', 'airy', 'lush' and (insert your favorite audiophile jargon here). same goes for games and movies in general, i have had my chance to shoot the military rifle when I was in duty, and that was fun. however, in a different way from playing CS. shooting a military rifle isnt always a readily available entertainment, but even if it were, i would prefer playing CS for the fun factor. sometimes i wonder why japanese console games sell so much better than the american ones (with the exception of sports games with great significance, thanks to EA). arguably that is perhaps the japanese are more of impressionists as opposed to american developers who are seemed to be caught up in this 'reality complex'. just a generalization though, some american games are very awe inspiring, on computers that is. you cant argue how dominant japanese gamemakers are in the console software arena though. The bottom line is that when it comes to the entertainment, idealized versions of pseudo reality is sometimes prefered to something strictly realistic, and such trait is very prelavent accross different spheres of interest.
