I'm a full-time student and I also work two days a week, so my spare time is rare, but I tend to spend it sleeping in, spending a likely unhealthy amount of time at the pub or otherwise sitting around with friends and drinking beer, drawing, or making adventure games. I also belong to an improv club and a beer club, so that takes time every now and then.

When I'm not working or gaming eh? Hmmm...

Listen to music, go to gigs, see my mates and chill, cook and eat at home or go out, drink, dance, read, go walking, pick flowers, lay in the sun, stretch, sleep, play with my cat, play cards, catch trains to suburbs I've not been to, watch movies, go to the theater and try to enjoy everything I'm lucky enough to have. I've just started lead lighting, it's really fun.

At least no one's used the 'M' word yet.

Other than video games?

The Escapist...and...uhh...guitar? People?

There's always some kind of film or music on, but I don't really have any hobbies, if that's what you're getting at.

I play tennis on Saturdays, I write Lord Krunk Reviews (A pet project of mine; you may know of it already), I write fictional novels (a hobby of mine), I study, I comment on these forums, I play my paiano, etc.

Not that I have much free time.

Yes got it in one.

That still one of my favorite cars. Have you gotten a chance to see/drive the '08?
That's definitely the next car I would get if they brought it to the states with that mean V8. Looks like I'll be settling for a WRX though. Ittl be fun seeing if I can get a 25 PSI turbo not to a'splode that 6cyl boxer.

dude WRX is a 4 cylinder, boy are you gonna be disappointed. It has never ever come as a 6 banger (tho i've seen conversions)

Well, besides gaming, I
Use gaming forums
Look up information on video games
Listen to music... usually while playing video games
Try not to think about my complete lack of a social life... yes, by playing video games
And anime/manga (I knew I could think of something completely un-related to video games!).

Um... Since I don't play games all that much, it'd be a majority of my time.

I'm a full-time student, and work as well, so my time's already cut a bit short. When I've got free time, you'll usually find me here at the Escapist, playing Hacky-Sack, drawing, writing, or out wandering the campus, climbing on stuff.

A lot of what I write is left on my harddrive, unfinished and left aside. Sometimes I post on a blog or two, one gaming related, the other not. I do a lot of writing here on the Escapist forums, and maybe one day the publication itself. With some luck, anyway.

Occasionally, I'll work on my book, but I get blocked so often that it comes out bleh, so I'll have to scrap entire chapters until I'm happy with them. Which is a lot of trial-and-error, the type of trial-and-error that takes hours...

Besides that, not much else, I love driving, but can't afford to do it for anything but travel. Lame, I know.

Ride bicycles more than is probably healthy. Which may explain the result on that BMI related thread...

OH CRAP IN A HAT YOU'RE RIGHT! Dammit! It can still be fun but I'm NEVER gonna get the kind of performance I'm looking for out of it now. Why can't they just bring the Falcon stateside? Well it's still my best bet for a good go-fast under 25K that's not FF. Might just get it anyway but I know a guy who's selling used Supras for cheap but I want a base platform for upgrading, not a complete overhaul.

normally sleep, read books, go on forums, or do nothing and daydream.

Pretty much that. I'm also learning to program in Java. I lack a social life and, frankly , I don't care (of course, as soon as I reach the conclusion that I don't care, I start getting one. No, go away social life, I despise you!_! ).

well, I'm at college full time studying Government&Politics, Biology and Psychology. I go to parties the pub and socialise a fair amount, go shopping,. spend the rest of the time I could be using to do work in, read the classics and generally enrich myself. On MSN making small talk with people I've know for years. and while at 6th form I spend most of my time day dreaming.

I like to rock climb, in gyms or outside if its nice. I bike and play piano and listen to classical music. This winter I'm taking a ceramics class, which I enjoyed last time I did it.
