I spend most of my time messing around with my game systems and cabs....
I almost never play them...
It is really a separate hobby.

Do you have other hobbys' besides gaming?

It seems cool, I've just never done it and have no experience beyond some cheap race set I had as a kid.

Slot Car Racing is badass.
I guess I also enjoy NG.com (LULZ).
Cooking is a pet hobby of mine. Trying to get better at it.
There are a lot of things i'm interested in that i occasionally tinker with, but most hobbies are a factor of two things: time and money. Again, Arcade stuff is a hobby - and I consider this seperate of video games since it's sort of niche and require some tinkering and electrical/mechanical know-how. Haven't had the cash to drop on the pcbs i want as of late though.
@Bobak - what did you mean when you put art? Do you enjoy going to galleries + seeking out art, or do you actually create your own stuff. If so i'd be interested to know what mediums you work with (pics ftw).

We need to start an American Revolution thread. Mostly pertaining to books I suppose. I could list what i've read, etc what I thought about the books etc.
Beer is a hobby i've let slide for far too long...

It looks at the founding fathers from a very cool perspective.

I enjoy going to galleries and seeking out art. Pretty much the full gamut of old to modern.
I do enjoy photography, but I don't view myself as much of an art photographer; though I've had one or two I've been pleased with artistically where I was trying something different. Most of my work is travel photography.

I recently got into rock climbing. Big time. I go to an indoor gym three days a week, and go outdoor climbing at various places on the weekend.
I recently, (as in today) bought a cheap 80's Honda motorcycle, so I'll probably start riding, although I really bought it to save gas on my short commute to work and the gym.
I'm into cigars, and beer, but don't really drink or smoke a ton.
Music used to be a hobby, but now I work in music, so I can't really count it as a hobby anymore. I guess, recreationally, I play guitar, but listening, and concerts and stuff is all part of the job.

Outside of collecting games and hardware I don't really do a whole lot lately. Paintball, good concerts, and seeing new places are always a blast, and I love going out to try new foods, but with the baby and working six days a week it's pretty hard to find time for most of my hobbies.
Lately I've gotten pretty into working on my site and keeping up a steady stream of blogs and reviews, but I really consider that outside of the realm of gaming.

Jeet Kune Do and other martial arts
Drawing, to an extent. Don't do nearly enough of it.
Firearms
Airsoft
Cars (Audi mostly and BMW and Porsche) wishing I could afford them and mods thereof.
Tons more shit I'd need a lot more money for, offroad motorcycle, RC cars, planes
I have a fantastic Specialized Stumpjumper mountain bike that I only have used to get to and from work thus far, so I can't really call that a hobby, yet. I want it to be my hobby though.

Seems you may not be as big into beer as you were a while ago, but I did want to let you know that when on vacation in Florida I found a bottle of Foret and grabbed it solely on how I remember you talking about it.

Foret is off the chart delicious, I wish I could drink one right now. Enjoy yours.
I still love beer, but I'm definitely off alcohol for a while for health reasons. As crazy OCD as my diet may get, I will always appreciate good beers, and I plan on continuing to discover them. I regularly check the beer thread whenever I see it's been bumped, I'll have a lot of catching up to do.

Just because you were flamed in a separate thread doesn't mean you have to go in to another one and have it spiral downward in to a shit fest, especially since this one is pretty decent.
This is what seperate good members from bad members. Knowing when and where it's ok to flame and when it's not.
Ok?

And why did this resort to violence?
