Read pointless threads.

At the same time?

Read books! It's really quite enjoyable.

either i start reading on the net, watch tele (rare) or play footy and chill with my mates. I spend most of my time in front the computer at work. So don't use it as much when i get home.

Umm, eat, sleep, read, play my ocarina, try to teach myself piano, hunt on moonlit plains for flesh, you know normal stuff.

there are other things besides playing video games??

Play more video games.

GOSH.

Don't repeat threads that have probably been done umpteen million times before.

That and read, write, work, discuss cars, politics and some other things.

Research programming languages, work on my design for an alternative Graphical User Interface based on the principles of User-Centred Design (i.e. Document-Centric Computing as opposed to more orthodox Application-Centric Computing), evaluate 3D modeling software as I will need to write my own at some point as part of an integrated environment for multimedia creation and game creation.

Oh, and take long baths, cook and watch Sky+

When I'm home: Read, self-teach myself the bass, and I fight with a local group that does viking era combat. Not SCA style faggotry either with rattan weapons, but full speed steel weapon fighting. Naturally the weapons are dulled.
At sea: Depending on the ship I'm on I'll bring my bass out with me. Other then that I just work. Considering I'm posting while on shift atm though, I doubt I can really call this work. More like professional coffee drinking.

I go on a forum known for being a den of the greatest scum and villainy this side of Detroit.

I eat, drink, breath, wait, and every once in a while go to the bathroom

Go on the net, talk to friends, hang out with friends, school, play bass, write songs

I skateboard.

Yay, lots of bassists! What sort of stuff do you guys play?

As you may have guessed, I play bass too and also go to uni, read, work (cos I gotta earn pennies), drink, watch movies...

The usual sorts of stuff. Got to agree with Rak though, this seems like a completely pointless thread.

There's things other than gaming? Heathen talk!!!

But seriously, on the few occassions I've not got a mouse or controller in my hand, I tend to watch DVDs/Blu-Rays or read occassionally.

People tell me I'm in serious need of a life. It's all good though.

I tend to play post punk and punk (in a punk band) but generaly i love to play anything with a nice grooving or driving bassline. I play jazz at school.

Feel depressed and sulk.

Hence, i play games alot.

Read bad threads, troll, sleep, eat, work, play with cats, hang out with friends, play guitar, brush up on stuff i learned at school so i'm not an idiot...

Well I go to Conestoga College in Canada. Posting my hateful words and shitting on other peoples parades tends to be my past time...I've been told I'm an asshole, in truth i just don't like people.

Trying desperately to catch up on Song of Ice and Fire. Just finished the first book, Game of Thrones (woot woot)! Also, cooking with tofu. Always with tofu.

Zero Punctuation fills in the gaps.

I have the "toil" which I do for the main reason of gathering enough money to purchase snacks and beverages [and the whole roof over my head part] to supply me with enough energy for playing games.

Also the money helps to buy new games.

And beer.

he could be a bat

I play bass, guitar, drums... Sometimes I'll record stuff when I'm bored. I produce some hip hop stuff for friends, I drink like a fish and smoke the weed every once in a while. Also, reading.

forums, parkour, sleep, draw and listen to music

A couple of forums here and there, college/internship and all that.. Oh, motorcycle trips. And lesseeee... can't leave out the bedroom activities!

Wow. Is that it? :/

Once I log off, I practice my music.... Which, I am learning, is really just another form of game- so I never really stop playing games.

Sometimes I eat, too.... Or whistle...... Or go to classes.........

WORK! lol but I like to watch my dvr.

Me I go to college and compose music with my computer. Then I post them on newgrounds.

What do I do when I'm not playing a game?

Work, and play EVE Online. Sometimes I play EVE at work.

I like playing the guitar. Playing guitar makes all the troubles go away for a moment, and a couple of minutes relaxing lowers my shoulders. I'm also out with my friends, i wouldn't choose any game before my friends, that's never a good idea :)

Instead of playing games?

Uh, think. I think a lot. Sometimes I write it down, sometimes I draw it.

Obviously, being my age I spend a fair amount of my free time doing... other.... things.

Read manga, watch anime. Listen to metal. Tbh, not been playing PS3 too much due to the lack of good games out. Mainly leaves me on Warcarft 3:Frozen Throne playing Dota. Hopefully the end of this year will yield some great PS3 games including Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena!

PS.Bronzebow, I myself am reading Song of Ice and Fire. Just started A Feast for Crows! Wait till April for a Dance with Dragons >.<

I go into the wild and hunt bears, naked, with my bare hands.

They're making a movie based on me, by the way. X rated, by the way, thanks to when my nudity backfired when one of the bears felt lonely (ha ha get it, backfired?). Still, uplifting cinema.

(I'm a seventeen year old, most of my time not on the computer involves friends and - with disturbing regularity - naughty parts, with occasional studying in between)
