Your Hobbies Besides Gaming

Post » Tue Mar 17, 2009 7:08 pm

So what do people around here like to do, besides playing computer games?

I enjoy photography, music, and reading good sf/fantasy books. An original gamesas fan, also known as Sol Invictus and Exitium. Currently running Hellforge, an original Diablo III community.

I keep busy going to school for Fire Science 4 days a week, working at a restaurant 3 days a week and I am starting a job as an EMT 1 day a week starting Friday. I have been getting into workingout and eating healthy as well but always find time to play Spore, Mario, and read up on Fallout 3 news and am going to enjoy following gamesas news.

I do some C++ coding in my free time, and read. I like books, so much you can learn from them....

When not gaming or working (provided it isn't raining here in Florida) I like to ride my motorcycle. svcks that gas is so freaking expensive but it's worth it. (cruisin the beach checkin out all the scantily clad chickies is pretty cool)
I also try to spend a little time every day playing my 6-string bass guitar, with or without others.
Target shooting is another of my favorite past-times, however the areas in my locale that allow for simple shooting are disappearing rapidly. I'm not real big on gun ranges as they tend to try to get every penny they can from you.
Watching anime is usually something I enjoy, has to be subtitled, and preferably fan-subbed- those are the best.
Been trying to get down on some fishing in the mangrove swamp behind my neighborhood, but time usually flies too fast.
I also serve as the computer tech support for the majority of my friends. That eats up some decent time.

Also been spending a lot of time working on my new house. fun fun.

To be honest, Mikhal, gas in US is two times cheaper than in most of EU, so don't you even dare to complain... :)))

Well, I used to make a lot of photos in my free time, then my camera was stolen.
I tend to overuse my bike during spring, so I spend summer reparing it or gathering cash for the repairs. :P Normally I just sit on different forums etc. I'm also a member of the Biggest polish Fallout fansite Trzynasty Schron. I used to work with guys @ tbx.pl (snuff fan site). I like experimenting with computer graphics, or simply sleeping. Love aircrafts, avionics, aeuronautics, etc., wolves, music, nature, old games, rpgs, strategies. I also snuff a lot.

More or less what everyone love anyway.

On my free time.... lots
Well a list:
Electronics projects/research. Mostly high-voltage related stuff
Art/cartooning
Creating digital music
Piano/keyboard
Hunting/target shooting
Anime
chemistry ( =blowing stuff up :D )
woodworking
metalworking
fixing stuff
Blue man group

For me, I go through phases that usually last about 1-3 months and then my interest shifts. Eventually, I get back around to each hobby. Although some are more frequent than others like electronics and making music, while some, like drawing and anime, have been stagnant for quite a while.

Right now I don't have that much time of actually playing games. I am a member of a mod team for Sins of a Solar Empire, called "7 deadly sins". I am a modeller and creator of spaceships. Funny thing is that I am a CAD user and prefer to use programs like SolidWorks and Pro/Engineer rather then 3d Studio Max.

Other then that I work in an electronic company and work right now with programming/testing/repairing control modules for engines in ships so if you read in news that a cargo ship engine didn't stop and ship crashed, it is probably my fault :P

I like to play guitar and write music. I go to church and play there at times. I spend a lot of time with my 7 month old son and my wife (my favorite thing!). TV, I dig reading and I like to go to my library. I'm a closet D&D geek although I never get to play. That's proabaly it. I really dig the Discovery Channel networks and it's mostly what I watch.
