Aside from Video Games and Computers, whats your next biggest hobby?

As always, let me start this off.

Im a massive comic book nerd. Although I havent bought many comics in the last year, I have a good 2-3k comics in my collection. I also have a ton of TPB, Hardcovers and Omnibus collections.

As soon as the rain stops, we will be heading back outside! Where I live it rains from about October to May. So my husband, my son, the dog and I have the worst case of cabin fever. We like to trail hike up in the redwoods or hike to the beach and look for agates. We also spend a lot of time up at the river, since it gets to about 90 up there and only 65 here in July.

It's awesome to spend time with my almost 2 year old. He learns so fast and wants to explore everything. He is pretty much my hobby and my life. I know it's corny, but it's a huge part of my life. And when we're stuck at home gaming is the next best thing. Go nerds!


Sidenote: I used to collect comic books, Witchblade and The Darkness.

As soon as the snow melts here I'll be spending a lot of time outside, but I freaking hate the cold so for now I'll just keep playin' guitar xD.

@Yarr thats whats up man my friend has ever single DC action figure (or at least it looks like it)

I own a GD and WD company so art is my first passion. I'm retired (No I'm not 50 I'm 26 I was just blessed with a permant source of income)so I like to spend time with my son and duaghters (3). I like to smoke, drank, hit up vegas on the weekend, I'm a huge gun fanatic I now own a Sig 556 Swat no mods (yet), 2 9mm, 1 sawed off and a M16 I have had since the 7th grade (wasn't legally mines till I turned 21) On the week end I like box I'm a huge Ali fan so I collect posters, tickets I actually have a signed ticket from him that has been passed down through my family for 20 years (not long but hey).

Sorry I don't collect comic but I read them from time to time I like Bleach and Berzerk (Gutzo, Griffith, etc.)

I snowboard. Pretty hardcore too. I got really sucked in the xiv and neglected my passion in life. With the servers going down, I hit the mountain up quite a bit and am torn between on playing, or playing on the mountain. Can't I do both? :(

Yes! I encourage it. Why not?

Hard for me to say when you remove video games from the equation. I've been playing for as long as I can remember (there was already an Atari 2600 in the house when I was born), and it's really my only consistent hobby.

But I guess my other one is writing. I own a few blogs, I do freelance writing on occasion, and I've written articles (on writing and argumentation) that have been used in school syllabuses here in the U.S. and [I think] Australia. I call that my hobby, but it's really my "career," even though I've been lying low for a couple years after graduating.

I admit it: I'm not career-oriented. Job market here sucks, too. >.> So I waste my time doing smaller things rather than getting an actual writing job.

This thread makes me upset. Video Games and Computers are pretty much my only hobbies! lol I guess working out counts as a hobby though...

@eolrid - I'm guessing you were an english major then? Same here ^^

In my free time from working and ffxiv, I teach myself how to sew. My friends and I have a sewing circle that meets weekly. We started out doing group projects and lately it kind of devolved into just drinking and idle chatter. But that's what they're supposed to be anyways, right? Lol. I hope one day to be skilled enough to set up shop on etsy. I'm glad that crafting has really taken off as a new trend among people my age group. And no I'm not terribly old. :P

Aside from that, netflix, shows, and friends.

Journalism.

I was going to make a comment there about how the profession I decided to major in is dying, but it's really just changing. Not so bad.

Photography. I like to think I'm pretty good at it.

Way to be crass there. I feel sorry for the girl who is only identified by her sexual proclivities.

Also, the "you" you are referring to is not whom you assume to be.

Get on mumble JERK!!

My life is mostly about video games... But other than video games I am going to college for video game and simulation programming. I also like to play card games such as Yu-gi-oh and Magic. While the servers have been down I have been playing other games that I have and also watching some anime.

people read more now then they ever had so your jounalism will never die but everything changes

Aside from games and my PC?... hmm I don't think I got anything to do, if I had a nice camera I would go outside and take some pictures tho, I love taking pictures of nice sunsets and stuff, too bad I NEVER had a camera :/ probably never will ;_; ...

been neglecting it for a while, but i used to produce my own music.
thinking of getting some new equipment and starting to work on it a bit more, just need some money first.

i also play guitar and a bit of piano/keyboard ^^

Sadly my hobbies require money, which I don't have.

Aside from working full time as a software engineer, I write and program for fun.

I'm a bit of jack-of-all-trades and can often find something to interest me, but programming, writing and solving "problems" have always been enjoyable for me. I use my interest in writing and ability with computers to design and program aspects of several "in-progress" games (some PHP/browser based, others running off of the Unity game engine) which I've been working on for the past few months. Its just a shame that I don't have more time to devote to these hobbies, including FFXIV (and other games).

I fence when I am able to, but I'm not that great at it. I also draw a lot.

Yeah, I encountered it my first year of college. My hometown does not know of fencing.

I'm starting some Informatic class (or something like that), so I expand my knowledge in computers and such, it's considered studying so yeah, I'll be doing something "exciting", learning that is :D

my passion is art, painting and illustration mostly, although i have degrees in photography, graphic design and print-making as well. Graphic design and typography are keen interests of mine, although admittedly i don't do much of it anymore, text in art is a little overpowering to me lately, it is a delicate procedure.

video games have been a constant throughout my life, as i've been playing them for over two decades, but it'll always take a backseat to art. i do not collect comics, but i have brothers who do (between them they have about 70,000 in their collections), so i read them a lot. i also enjoy films, but that's really a lackluster statement without going into details.

i haven't read anything substantial in about two years, but i'm always open for a good book to get consumed into.

Hmm.. Music I suppose. Before I got sucked into games again, I was making a bit of money on the side producing electronic music and dj'ing. Not so much anymore ^^;

Now I just scare the poop out of people on vent with my crazytalk :(
