If you are not playing video games, what are doing (or) would do instead?

[jacobschndr]

I have to go to work soon so I can't reply right back to anyone for awhile. But mainly what do you do when you don't say have power in your home or you just get bored of playing. What do you do instead to past the time?

I Just read the paper or play basketball for the most part. Workout maybe, sometimes. But what do YOU do?

P.S. Yeah, there probably is a thread written about this before, but it's probably also three years old, and the original writer probably doesn't even come to this site anymore, but what-the-fuck if you don't have anything to comment on the subject at hand then don't post at all you trolls.

anime,
escapist,
homework

 

[Insanum]

Sleeping or at work.

 

[Curtmiester]

Eating, breathing, finding new foods to eat.

 

[Davey Woo]

On here. I really don't do much, but I can't be bothered to go out lately.

 

[DaMan1500]

Usually reading, but ocasionally homework or something actually productive.

 

[Malkavian]

There's a ton of things I do while not playing.
But, to sum up a few:
I really enjoy reading, so that's a fair share. I'll put on a record if I'm not reading, either just listening, or perhaps fiddling with my Warhammer.
That's when alone, of course. When I have company, there's simply too many different things to do to list them.

 

[BoxCutter]

Watching Baseball

 

[Jedoro]

Sit here on the Escapist forums, lay in my bed, maybe hang out with friends, or go for a nice nature walk

 

[SamuelT]

Well, I've got "His Dark Material" with me at all times, so I read that when I'm free. I write, I go on the Escapist, 'cause that's what I do.

At times I do my homework, but those sessions are sparse and far from each other.

 

[Radeonx]

Out with friends, working out, reading, out hiking, beach, school work...and many many other things. Work takes up a lot of my time during the week, luckily they havent blocked the escapist as a time waster site yet.

Essentially this. Except for beach and hiking, which is hard to do in the middle of plains.

 

[Gerazzi]

Watching teevee,
Drawing,
Writing,
Playing with my dog...
eating I guess, but you wouldn't be able to tell because I'm hella skinny. :|

 

[Xvito]

I play P & Ps, TCGs and boardgames. I also browse the Internet...

Sometimes I sit and wonder and sometimes I just sit... (Cookie for the reference)

Also, I play the Piano.

--Xvito, keeping it excellent.

 

[TheLazyKnight]

I read. A lot. Lately I've been reading quite a bit more than playing video games. It's nice.

 

[Rolf]

If i am alone i usualy read.
If i got company i do many different things. Going out with friend, going to the beach, playing basketball.

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

reading, reading, working, sleeping, watching tv, paying bills for my mom.

 

[salbarragan]

I will avoid the requisite, "Your Mom" joke and just say that I am actually quite active. If I am not at the gym, I am hiking or running during the week. On weekends, I am usually partying up with friends. Actually, I dont even get that much video game time really, but I do enjoy reading about the industry and about new games that are coming out. I usually end up just watching the ending of a game on youtube.

 

[GoldenRaz]

If the power's out: I'll read a book while listening to music. Or play Solitaire.
If I'm just tired of playing: I'll roam The Escapist, watch Youtube-videos, check up on Cracked and probably listen to music.
If no computer is available, same as the previous statement.
