What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

[Dejanus]

My interests and hobbies include:

Singing, mostly rock music but I stray into the indie/coldplay type stuff too.

Playing guitar and bass, same as above.

Anime and film. I'm into these probably more so than gaming

Looking after and breeding my fish.

Looking after and riding my elephant... Yup, you read it correctly.

Sampling fine cuisine and cooking.

Since I don't play cricket any more due to injury my new hobby is getting a massage every week from my beautiful osteopath, fair trade I thought.

Birdwatching in my back garden

The usual socialising, drinking, fucking that kind of thing.

I admit, I am VERY interested to hear how the elephant came to be a thing that you care for/ride.

 

[Total LOLige]

Warhammer/Warhammer 40k.
Jeet Kune Do.
Gym.
Beer.
Football (see avatar, I love my team).
Movies, the cheesier the better.

You aren't looking good for europe, You better win all of your games and hope the skunks(NUFC) lose the rest of theirs. I hppe my team Sunderland can finish the season strong, and the O'Neil can lead us to FA Cup glory next season.

OT: Watching football, reading a book occasionally, listening to music(not really a hobby) that's about it nothing that gets me out of the house.

And here I had this vague idea of you as some sort of beastmaster assassin type, slapping targets with a cricket bat from the back of your massive Indian, Francesca.

...

You know, I'm making that a story. I can already see the movie rights...

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

I read, write, enjoy a good (or bad) cinematic adventure with friends...

I've really gotten into running lately, as I've been steadily losing weight since the beginning of the year.

Music is a big interest. Shame I can't play anything. I can sing, but it isn't easy to find a band that needs nothing but a singer.

Her name is Chandrika, but other than that, yeah that's pretty spot on...

I even taught her to play harmonica (well, we're at the stage where she has stopped trying to eat it and blows through it)... She's quite talented, a real blues girl.

 

[twistedmic]

Creative writing, both fanfiction and original fiction, though I haven't written anything recently.
Reading Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels, mostly fantasy.
Playing scrabble, sometimes with my mom, other times against the computer on my kindle.
Watching Anime and Movies.
Putting together puzzles and models.

firearms, drinking, and sex.... the classic American trifecta

I am a bit of a gun nut myself.

Without going into too much detail, my favorite piece is likely the 1938 Mosin Nagant rifle I got through a specialty retailer last year. Great condition, shoots like a dream. Been trying to find a good surplus bayonet for it, but its hard to find an authentic one.

I go more for modern than classic... just last month I got me a Alexander arms .50 Beowulf upper for one of my AR-15s... it's my favorite "toy" at the moment... but my one and only true love will always be the 1911 and all it's clones... my personal daily carry Para Ordnance P14.45 never leaves my side

I can understand your inclination.

The M1911 is my favorite pistol of all time. I have three, one of which was my Grandfather's. He carried through WW2, from Alaska to Guam. Its pretty beat up, but that's part of it's charm. I don't shoot that one, though it probably still works. The other two are repros, I forget the specific model.

 

[yjchung]

I don't even play that many games anymore... but hobbies include:
Drawing - mostly half-naked women
Knitting - currently making a pair of socks for a friend
Music-related activities, such as playing the violin, piano and singing
I'm also very interested in fashion.

 

[triggrhappy94]

Guitar
School
Journalism takes up a good amount of my time and makes for a lot my stress. I've been ignoring it recently, which will come back to bite me tomorrow, but I'll have plenty of time during school.
And StumbleUpon. Why do waste so good Stumbleupon. I want to teach myself piano, learn French, continue learing Spanish, learn Java and how to program games, get a job, and develop relationships with people. But wait! StumbleUpon could help me find articles about doing all of those things. And the vicious cycle starts again.

 

[Jinxzy]

- Drawing, Painting, Illustrations, Jewelry. I try almost every single craft I can get my hands on.
- Reading everything.
- Watching Movies, everything but chick/drama movies.
- Shooting my bow
- Baking.

 

[DANEgerous]

Tennis, the only sport I am good at as a whole.
Basketball, the only other sport i can do any sort of task at all i so is steal and pass but that at least gives me value
Cooking, because fuck eating bad food and fuck paying 10-30$ for good food every meal
Reading, I have fond this oddly counts as much at it feels like putting "watching TV" pm this list
Photography/photo editing, Because yeah camera phones are shit cameras but you always have them and i want to make use of it
Camping/hiking, because... i don't know... it is just nice

 

[museofdoom]

My other hobbies include Horseback riding which consumes most of my life actually, I read a TON, I love music, I do photography, I play piano, and I enjoy nature walks ^_^

 

[Zeraki]

Reading, when I can sit still long enough to concentrate(I have such a problem sitting and reading sometimes so it takes me forever to finish books sometimes).

Gathering useless information on random subjects.

Daydream for hours on end without realizing it.

Walking my dog.

... yeah I'm very boring, and have no redeeming talents.

Tried taking up guitar once... couldn't concentrate on learning.

 

[Fijiman]

When I'm not playing video games I'm usually reading web comics, watching random shit on YouTube, or here on the Escapist. That's about it. I do like taking pictures, but I haven't been doing much of that for quite some time.

 

[Starik20X6]

LEGO! I collect and play with Lego.

I also collect figurines/toys/merch from my various interests. I keep them all in display cabinets, but I'm running out of space... Need more cabinets!

I also spend a good ***** of my time coming up with stories and worlds inside my head. A lot of the time these end up playing out in the aforementioned Lego world.

I like to make short stop motion films, and create small sculptures and models out of plasticine.

I enjoy learning about science and the weird things that the universe has to offer.

 

[FatalFox]

Well I enjoy drawing (digital and on paper, as well as other artistic crafts), 3d modeling, watching cartoons (my little pony friendship is magic, adventure time, animaniacs episodes via youtube, random things on tv like futurama when I catch it) I also like to listen to podcasts, videogame related and other random things.
I guess thats it.
