I was also just given an introductory helicopter flying lesson for my birthday, so that's probably going to become my obsession for the next couple of years, or however long it will take me to get my license. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 52 Joined: 24 Nov 2007 | Airsoft, military history, martial arts, okey, this list would just get way to long to write all the little things. So let me just say that if something can be used to cause damage, mayhem or have any other negative effect on my fellow man I do my best to learn everything I can about it. But on the other hand a good book, a cup of great coffee and/or some close friends discussing the meaning of life or why girls don't make sense has stolen more hours than I would like to admit. And just as a counterpoint to this regular-Joe testosterone filled existence I also raise tiny albino dwarf hamsters. From Siberia. |

Paperboy  Posts: 27 Joined: 9 Dec 2007 | ....there are other things..........besides gaming? Please teach me these "non-gaming," activities. I do not dare to show my face in the sunlight. My days usually comprise of gaming, breathing, gaming and crying. PS: I enjoy drawing, sports, hanging out with friends and PARTYING BABY(even though when you're underage in everything possible its hard to party) |
Paperboy  Posts: 21 Joined: 13 Dec 2007 | I enjoy fencing; tinkering with electronics; engaging in rousing discussions of all types with my friends that usually gravitate to the subject of video games, manga, and anime; swimming; writing sappy poetry; and carousing the occasional anime convention in costume. |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 8 Joined: 13 Dec 2007 | I run a dnd campaign with some friends, play board games (such as sattlers of catan ,ticket to ride, and Khet), read, work, learn about the share market, study religions and trying not to suck at guitar. Speaking of which... |
Paperboy Posts: 27 Joined: 9 Dec 2007 | Oh yea I forgot, I also enjoy manga and anime. Naruto and Bleach FTW! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 184 Joined: 20 Nov 2007 | Mountain biking, writing, hiking, reading. Those four occupy 99% of the free time that doesn't go towards playing games. I played a lot of soccer when I was in the peace corps and I'd like to start again, but it's not exactly the right time of year for it. :/ I've also wanted to pick up a musical instrument again but I just can't get into it; when I need a creative activity I invariably start writing instead. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 56 Joined: 29 Nov 2007 | I'm trying to write a book right now. It's a fantasy, and I've spent two years getting the magic system solidified. So my stuff outside of school and video games consists of working in a universe I made up two or three year ago and still isn't ready to work in. I have no life. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 167 Joined: 8 Oct 2007 | Like most people, playing the guitar too. Not lead though. I used to ice stake but completed it and gave up on getting up at 5.00am to go to the diamond lessons. It also got way too expensive. Skiing is awesome, I've only been on dry slopes though, which I've been told is nothing like the real thing. |

I pretty sure everybody on this sites love video games to an extent. But are there other hobbies you like to attend to? I have a couple
Reading Manga and watching Anime(basically the same thing): Some interesting stuff if you find the right one for you
Wrestling: Yes I watch wrestling. Been doing it for years too. Say what you will I still find it entertaining.
