   At this point in my life...None of the above.

I was a teen when the first video consoles hit the market. I worked in a Woolco at the time and was able to buy a returned unit for $5.00 (see image below). Had a few good years with it until Atari's Missile Command hit the floor. By that time I was doing FOH sound in the bar scene and spent way too many quarters on the game. But I got really good at it.
Was never into metal, I prefer classic and hard rock (early Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper etc.)
I stopped reading comic books when I was around 12 and began reading Sci-Fi novels instead.

I guess my most sinful activity these days is cannabis consumption.
But I don't even consider it sinful in the least.

	Thank you for supporting independently produced music

	I met arcade video games and metal music in the mid-80s, but became a metalhead and a real arcade games enthusiast in the early '90s. Comic books... I was a huge Conan the Barbarian fan since ancientry. Now... I only listen to some metal music, and occasionally play few video games. The only good arcade left in Turkey is Fantasyland, in Ankara. Very close to where I live there. But, we're planning to rent out that house. I'll surely visit there, and play some arcade games before that. There's another arcade even closer to our house there named Joy Game Center. But, it was terrible when I last visited it. Zero interesting games! Arcade culture literally died in Turkey. So sad...

	Comic books (including graphic novels). Ever since I was a kid. I've never been very interested in video games. Never had a console of any kind myself. I used to like various kinds of metal, but nowadays it's 99% Black Sabbath. I would heartily recommend any and all of them to kids of any age rather than sports and such harmful activities.

	These are the mostly critized by the authoreties and parentual guidance, moralists, that kids/youth should be protected from yet are very enthizing to kids/youth culture. Often misjudged yet totaly awesome and totaly fine activities to dabble into for people at any age. Edited by Icarium - January 03 2022 at 13:27
