I do prefer to stay home alot and just play games (but only because I don't know many people that actually play video games)
But I really enjoy reading, as well as I go for a walk every day with my dog,
not to mention I take care of a group of animals, including cats and chickens.

Political activism, I'm very vocal about my views on...everything so I guess in a way you could consider me the gaming equivalent of a preacher sans the religious aspect. 
I'm not sure if that's a good thing, but I like angry arguments and deep discussions so it's arguably fine in my books. I'm also trying to start a Summer business involving odd jobs focusing on menial work (gardening, moving things, digging up things, chopping things down, mowing lawns, weed whacking, etc.) and I don't know many gamers who do that. Sadly the reason I'm doing that is because I otherwise fit the gamer stereotype pretty well.
Oh, and I have a pet cat that I love and treat as my own son (if you own a pet you know this sentiment probably) annnnnd I just love interacting with animals that get along with us humans.

I live in Montana, a state that was once called "The Land of the Bland". I once had someone ask me: "Why cook when you could go to McDonalds?". We do not speak anymore.Andy Farren said:
I mostly enjoy cooking meats, and experimenting with spices from all around the world. In practice, there's nothing I wouldn't try once.
What kind of cheese do you think pairs best with fresh apples?
im a soccer fanatic i play for a local amateur team and play futsal, also love martial arts been doing different styles since i was a kid but at the moment training in brazilian jiu jitsu.....funny thing is though most people wouldnt even think im a gamer by just looking at me lol
I like to cook.
And it's not a hobby exactly but I have an almost unhealthy obsession with Project Runway. I'm not even all that into fashion, there's just something about Project Runway I love. .... still bitter that Gretchen won season 8 and not Mando.

I am pretty good at cooking, baking, like dressing up in cute clothes (especially real, proper kimonos) and LOVE long, LONG walks through actual, deep forests.
I'm a girl though, so I probably don't actually count as a gamer in the eyes of a good part of this site's audience
Not that I care. Off to play more of the Etrian Odyssey 5 demo on Expert Mode, in japanese. Thankfully I just got done finishing World of Xeen.

Well to bust the shy thing I actually do fairly well when I have to speak in front of people. But I only do it when I have to so... yeah. But I enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, riding my motorcycle and working on cars so there is that too.
First off, not really a hobby but my job is being an apprentice Carpenter so that goes against the stereotype for what a gamer does for a living(usually something with computers)
But for a hobby for the past year or so Ive been hitting the gym lifting weights and doing a bit of crossfit, doing the protein shakes and eating right. Im not out to brag but I am liking how my body is changing. Im actually considering stepping up my gym time and trying the bodybuilder thing since I seem to be naturally strong. I just worry I might wear myself out too much for my job, I already suffer after doing leg work or shoulder work the next day at work.

I cook and especially bake quite a lot, which I guess is a bit at odds with the image of a man-child living off ready-meals and cheetos.
I have a huge collection of books of every kind from history to graphic novels. Absolutely adore reading as long as it is well written and interesting. At last count i have over 700 books.
I enjoy a good hiking or camping trip from time to time. Lately, I go on bike rides when I'm bored.
I'm pretty geeky (though not necessarily gamery) in every aspect of my life... the few hobbies I have that break the stereotype a bit... let me think...
I like to cook when I have time (I hate cooking in a rush)
I'm an avid beer and wine enthusiast, always seeking out new tastes in both.
I play semi-organized dodgeball
I love hipster music (it's a curse >.>) which seems to be kind of un-nerdy...
That's about all I can think of really...

I play (bass) guitar in two bands, a progrock band and a cover band that was supposed to be a temporary thing, but I ended up liking, so I stuck around.
I like cooking, especially anything from the Mediterranean or Latin-American kitchens, though I recently found some neat Scandinavian recipes.
I'm into photography, though that's partially because it is useful for my job.
I used to be an avid painter until a couple years ago, but nowadays I can't really find enough time anymore. I once tried my hand at graffing, but it wasn't really my style.
