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.

Carpentry, driving a boat and reading books are currently top of the list. 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.

My next-favourite hobby still falls under gaming, but it's the table-top miniature variety. My favourite non-gaming hobbies would probably be reading and digital photography, mostly of landscapes I'm walking.

Karting would be at the top of my list. nothing gives you a better adrenal boost then hearing screaching tires of miniature cars when taking a turn at 50

Wow, what a varied group!

Cooking, reading and now I'm getting into photography with my new digital SLR.

Also, I crochet, way too much. In fact so much that I proudly own and wear this shirt: http://jinx.com/Content/Product/1058p_0c_ZoomM.jpg Yarrrn!

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.

Used to be into Warhammer 40k, but the models are so damn expensive.

....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)

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.

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...

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.

WWII humor, tabletop gaming, writing stories, eating food, collecting statues of the virgin mary, dressing up in 3 piece suits, obsessing about comics, and you.

And this forum. I think this site has the only forum I like. Yay the Escapist.

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.

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.
