** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y318ruNUb7U In this video]], he admits to really loving ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' and ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'', having played both as a kid; he played Ultramarines for ''40k'' and Undead for ''Fantasy''. Time doesn't really let him play as much any more, but he's said that if he stops making music and has enough money, he'll get back into it. He's also a fan of ''Bloodbowl'', visibly getting excited when the interviewer mentions it to him, and admitted that after twenty years of not remembering it, the game randomly popped into his head and he wondered if it was still a thing.
** One of the first TV shows that he remembers watching is ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983'', which he watched 'pretty religiously' in his own words. He even had a crush on She-Ra.
** He loves Music/IronMaiden, having a tattoo of ''Killers'' on his chest.
** The song "Time Machine" contains many a ShoutOut, including ''Film/DonnieDarko'', ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' and a few references to Steampunk.
** [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BNjkvXSAqsv/?taken-by=frankturner He thinks LEGO is a good thing to do]] when recovering from a hangover.
** [[http://forgethenarrative.net/podcast/ftn-episode-150-do-you-even-dreadnought/ Took part in a tabletop podcast]] in March 2016.
** Subverted with gaming. Frank has said he isn't a gamer, but that's partly because he simply travels too much for it to be a hobby he can keep up with.

* CreatorBacklash: Turner isn't terribly fond of "Thatcher Fucked the Kids", partly since his values have changed and partly because he felt it drew in people that weren't really there for his music. He's said that he's fine with people taking it up for themselves, but has no plans to play it ever again.
