What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

[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.

 

[Raven's Nest]

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...

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.

 

[DesertMummy]

I love writing, hope to be a journalist some day
I skateboard, its a really fun thing to do with friends
I play basketball
I follow American politics pretty closely, and I don't even try to be unbiased
Regular 16 year old gut stuff, cars, movies, tv, books, girls, friends, and the like.

 

[tthor]

I am very interested in photography, and am trying to get better (lately I've been doing a lot of reading on it, and have wrote out a very expensive wishlist of new equipment I want >_>)

I also enjoy Anime; just got back from Minnesota's Anime Detour a week ago, awesome~

I read a bit, just finished the Hunger Games

One of these days I would love to try D&D (I know i have some friends who play it,)

 

[WaReloaded]

Well outside of gaming, I'm in a few bands in which I sing, play guitar, bass and the drums (although nowhere near as regularly as I'd like to). I consider myself an aspiring Writer as I spend a lot of my time working on lyrics for my musical projects, poetry for myself and novels in hopes of getting them published. I spend a bit of time at University and in some of my spare time I write for an Australian "newspaper" which I'm unable to name. I do a lot of walking at night, especially when it's cold and raining, but I assure you it's for self-medication and not some other overly, pretentious reason.

 

[bobmus]

I like to vary up what I do:

• I'm a keen hockey player (field, not ice) and play twice weekly, down from five times weekly when I was playing club as well.
  
  I'm a big fan of music - eclectic taste with a core of indie rock. Spend a lot of time trying to find new music, and love going to concerts.
  I'm also trying to review the UK Top 10 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.365058-The-UK-Top-Ten-Review-09-04-12] weekly, give it a look!
  
  I read often and fast, but have a peculiar passion for teen fiction. Maybe it's just the pacing that appeals to me.
  
  I watch a lot of movies, of all different genres, often with my girlfriend.
  
  I watch lots of TV as well, though not of the sci-fi variety. Lots of sitcoms and other comedies, plus the occasional teen drama.
  
  I socialise, whether on the forums or just chatting to people I know. I'm a big fan of getting to know new people, just shy at introducing myself - an eternal conundrum. [small]Feel free to look me up for a chat! [/small]

 

[arnoldthebird]

Basketball, since November of last year I can dunk
Watching any decent film
And the rest would be my subjects at school, Chem, Physics, Ancient History and Mathematics.
And reading, if I can get a decent book then you can say goodbye to me until I have finished it.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

-I read a lot, my head is always buried in a book, or some comic.

-I play the violin, and I play in an orchestra. At the moment a friend of mine is teaching me cello.

-Cooking. Most of the time I'm too tired to make anything real fancy, but when I do, Goddamn it's yummy!

-Magic The Gathering, sadly I know no one around where I live that plays. I lost my old deck and I'm slowly building a new one.
