    What are your other hobbies!?

    It's already been established that we all have a common interest on this site. The interest being video games... specifically of the neo kind.

    What are some other things you guys are into? I'm really trying to find something else besides games to take up time, and hearing suggestions might strike up some interest.

    Graphic design, photography, judo, ice hockey, and (I don't know if you could call it a hobby, but...) I have a small collection of historical swords, some antique and some modern-made, in both Japanese and European styles.

    I also enjoy old anime shows. There's just something about the older shows that seems so much more entertaining than more recently made stuff.

    I'm also a big fan of Laurel and Hardy movies...

    I collect and play hobby boardgames.

    Please see this thread for more information on that.

    Lately i've been on a kick of playing wargames.

    Thats probably my biggest hobby besides video games.

    Other than that I like to read and cook.

    I play music and am in a band.
    In the band I play drums, but drums are not my main instrument. The guitar is. I'm mediocre at best on both instruments.
    I am obsessed with foosball and bubble hockey.
    I recently started restoring and tinkering with Arcade cabinets.
    I collect a few series of comics, but nothing extravagant.
    I collect Transformers but I open them all and display them on a shelf.
    I also like to play paintball and/or lasertag.

    I'm really new here, however, my hobbies are: collecting House Vinyl, horse back riding, my work (yup unfortunately I have to remain updated), reefer action as well, my Neo, my car and my new house.

    I also produce (and of course spin) Hardcore or Gabber music. Are you guys familiar with that kind of music?

    Yes indeed I am. 170bpm and less is for pussies! I'm not too familiar with European hardcore/gabba (I like to listen to it but I can't name a single artist), but I'm a J-Core fan, I like Technorch, m1dy, sharpnel... I'd be interested in hearing your original songs.

    edit: other hobbies I have:
    -Meeting people (not to the extent Bobak does though)
    -Browsing thrift stores and garage sales (treasure troves at times!)
    -Bargain-hunting (AKA a family member will want me to find them the best deal possible on a new LCD TV with a $XXX budget, etc...)

    Outside of gaming:

    Music (writing, playing, listening)
    Movies
    Graphic design/visiual art in general
    Exercising

    Those 4 things take up most of my free time. These days gaming takes a back seat, although COD WaW has been pulling me away from shit I should be doing recently.

    Used to spend a lot of time and money collection Transformers but I just don't have the room for any more and I can't justify spending money on something that doesn't do anything but sit there and collect dust.

    I love doing business in general. I love buying stuff cheap and selling it for more and making profit. Also....Computers computers and more computers. I just love taking shit apart and fixing it. My whole day I spend fixing computers at work and then I come home and run my own gig, fixing people's computers (for money of course), but I really have a strong passion for doing that sort of thing.

    I really also want to take up web and graphic design, but I'm having a difficult time learning the web aspect of it ...I already got a good grip on Photoshop, but I want to learn how to integrate pages that I design into the actual web...I heard Fireworks is the way to go but I would'nt even know where to begin. I've seen so many tutorials and other things all over the place but I really have no idea where to start. Any advice from the web designers here?

    During the summer I'll hit up the beach at least once a weekend...I LOVE to jetski...it's just like a 30 minute long roller coaster that you have complete control over....some of the most thrilling shit I've ever done.

    Finally I love martial arts...I've taken up different arts before (Kickboxing, Wrestling, Judo, Wing Tsun Kung Fu), but as of recent I just signed up for capoeira classes which start on January 15th....really excited about that.

    I got more, but I'm so freaking tired right now I could barely concentrate.
