Volvos. Drifting. Drifting Volvos. Cars of all kinds, rally racing, road course racing and gymkhana.

Outside of cars my hobbies are Fencing (both classical European and Kendo/jutsu), reading, airsoft, shooting (Ive been shooting for years, but have never owned my own gun), and photography.

Well, photography is really something Im aspiring to do for work... so Im not sure if it counts as a pure hobby.

You have all the hobbies I wish I could afford. My 1990 Mazda B2200 pickup can slide around a corner quite nicely though...

Yay, another pilot.

I love flying, not so keen on gliding though. I'm a wuss, I like having an engine or two. I also enjoy climbing and mountain biking.

Excellent more pilot buddies! Gliding is such a thrill. No engine, you really can't reel any more free. I'm going for my wings soon. I'd love to go further and become an instructor.

Since I consider forum-posting to be a game, I reckon what little time I have between that and work is spent doing typical hillbilly stuff: hunting, fishing, horses, playing with children, reading classical liturature, little bit of cooking and gardening.

Moslty body building (yes that's more important than gaming), watching movies/ tv-series with my girlfriend (if she's not playing WoW), reading (Peter F. Hamiltons nightsdawn trilogie blew me away) but the main hobby remains my work as graphic designer,....

I'm a professional paintballer, so that doesn't count (Demonic FTW!), I'm also a heavyweight boxer, a free runner, I play guitar, and cook a lot. I'm also an artist, I design tattoos and graffiti tags and bombs for people (and occasionally for myself). I'm an archer and a marksman, with licenses to fire everything from a compound bow, to a cross bow, from a .357 pistol, to a .50 cal rifle.

Must be a nice stress-reliever as well..

I suppose that posting in forums is a hobby since I've been a chronic forumee for about 4 years now. I also write, but I don't write for a public, just for myself.

Non-gaming hobbies? Anime and Gundam models. Yeah, I should probably shoot myself.
I'd throw in Biblical interpretation but the direction my life is going in makes that feel more like a career and less like a hobby.

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.

no offense but you probably should know that the winners are preditermined and the bunny in the hat has always been there, it has a compartment where it hides

I was gonna go with the 'life outside gaming?' question, but TheKittenStrangler beat me to it. **Mumbles something inaudible**

Anyways, my non-video gaming hobbies are uh, let me think, uh, Pen and Paper RPGs, reading, music and The Escapist. If wasn't of Sub-Continental Asian background, I reckon my skin would be a pale, pale white.

Hm... favorite non-gaming activities, huh? Let's see...

Well, with what little time I have away from my busy schedule of playing video games, I enjoy building/working on computers, reading (sci-fi and fantasy mostly), watching anime (currently Hunter X Hunter), playing guitar, tennis, and video games. Oops, I mean... breathing. Always get those two mixed up, as they are both so important in my life. Heh...

Programming, making nonsense plans, making nonsense videos, shooting a wall in my room with paintballs from my slingshot, trolling forums, not doing homework/studying for classes, failing the classes I need to pass to get my degree in 2 years, sleeping, fucking around, Gum Art(making art out of gum), writing, drawing concept art for whatever I'm currently working on, sharpening and maintaining my swords. Thats about it.

The normal reading, watching tv and movies. I used to draw a lot (I wanted to be a professional artist) but I've kind of fell out of it for some reason. I still come up with ideas for pieces of various sorts, though I rarely carry through on them. I love beer, and love discovering new kinds to enjoy. I would like to get into brewing.

I sometimes browse Wikipedia on 20th Century European History (WWI, WWII, Cold War)
I also play paintball and soccer (although I suck at the latter)
And any spare moments I have left are spent listening to Dream Theater.

How interesting. Aside from "gaming" there's little that connects us.

One thing I enjoy which I've noticed only one person (on page 2) say they enjoy is ballroom dancing. I just love getting out onto the dancefloor with a partner who knows what she's doing and doing a really great Waltz or Tango. Anyone can learn to dance, and it's the most amazing feeling when you connect with your partner and the music to put on a great show. Nothing that I've ever done feels like it. Oh, and anyone can learn. If you can walk, you can learn to dance. And something that's especially cool about dancing is that noone's too old to learn to dance. Not that I'd expect people on a gamers' forum to consider themselves too old to learn something new.
