[Hamish Durie]

Nerf guns.

I mod and paint them. Then have wars with mates.
Brilliant fun.

Right now I'm taking a short break from sewing a dress. (A viking dress. To wear at my new job. My new job is being a viking, doing viking crafts and stuff in a viking village for tourists to look at and try. I don't have to make my own outfit, I just want one that fits better than the ones they provide. Besides, I have always wanted a viking costume, but I never had an excuse to make one.)

I also like reading. I just started on the first Witcher book, and so far I like it.

There are other hobbies besides games? Are you sure? Like... Riding trained kittens?
Maybe building custom rigs, like the NES HTPC I built a bit back? CRAZY stuff!

 

[ConnorCool]

I make music. In bands, with friends, on my own, it's all fun.
And I love me some mountain biking, even with the relatively few trails near where I live >.<

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

One that goes hand-in-hand with gaming.
Masturbating.
hand-in-hand...

 

[Whateveralot]

I write and produce music and I design in 3d using SketchUp.

I've been doing the first thing since june 2004 and all this time it has been more than a hobby; a passion.

3d design is something I just do for fun, but I really enjoy doing. Both are things that I'd love to do for a living.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

Playing in a band, shooting indie films and photography

 

[magnuslion]

I am a powerlifter. INB4 "everyone on the internet is a powerlifter". Please note that my avatar is me, and yes I am a freaking powerlifter >.<

 

[Cowabungaa]

Ummm...

*crickets*

I don't think liking movies, books and TV shows a lot counts. Neither does going to the gym once a week.

Dammit... I really want other hobbies though, I want to play tabletop games, I want to play tennis, maybe practice a martial art, play paintball, make music, so many things really. It just never really happens, or I don't have the people for it.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

I make giant castles and houses in mountains and-- besides gaming? WHAT?
Seriously, though, I'm not good at keeping hobbies.
Does watching movies on The Escapist count?

 

[Cab00se206]

I'm into Warhammer 40k in a big way. I love modelling, creating, displaying and gaming with my Imperial Guard force. Painting is a bit less fun for me since I don't know when to leave well enough alone and ignore the smudge of pink on Guardsman #87's collar and get on with finishing painting the 248 other guardsman I have

But yeah, I love me some 40k. It's just a shame that it's a bit hard to find people to play with regularly, and even when you find someone who collects and wants to play, they're kinda douches about it

 

[berettastorm88]

going to a firing range,
riding dirt bikes,
boxing/wrestling,
football, and... um.. oh ya,
FURSUITING! :3
its fun going out and no one knows who you are
so you don't have to feel like you cant make in idiot out of yourself!
but i in no means get up in peoples faces about it,
i don't even like telling people I'm a furry.

Other than gaming, my hobbies that end up in 'rotation' are P&P RPGs, drumming, comics, and magic. Slight-of-hand stuff, not The Gathering. Although CCGs used to be in the rotation as well.

I'd love to get into 40k but I can see me with two immediate problems; money and my OCD would never let me be satisfied with my lack of painting skills.

 

[leady129]

Contortion and film making.
I also enjoy writing, something I don't do nearly enough of.

 

[Hafnium]

I did some archery last year, and I'm going to start again in a week's time. It's enjoyable, relaxed and pretty awesome. =)
