Other Hobbies

I've been trying to learn the piano recently, if that counts.

It's going absolutely horrible, though. I've not used my left hand for anything ever in my life, so it's an atrophied mess that mindlessly parrots everything that my right hand does.

I'm kind of decent with a trombone, though.

Oh no not Sam! (we ugly Americans up here never got Sam, *Grr,Grr, Shakes fist) Although you are right about his attire in Conviction: repaint that and he'd fit into a Vault's populace pretty well.

Fun fact: one of my master projects in 3D modeling comes from that game. In the Third Echelon HQ, there are two Chrysler Aspens in the Garage. I ripped one and I'm currently rebuilding it from the ground up as a Forza Motorsport-quality vehicle. It now has everything, from an engine to freakin cupholders.

you mean the CE? they were selling it for like $20 ageis ago....I didn't even play the game XD

Ubisoft didn't release the collector's edition with the Sam figure in the US. Instead we got a stripped down version with a broken USB drive. Fuck regional exclusivity. As for the game, it's alright. It wasn't filled with the normal "kill nobody" type stealth that the rest of the series is famous for. It had slick controls though, and the artwork done for the game was pretty neat. I'm playing around with a bunch of models from the game right now, and they're fantastic pieces of work.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I write a lot. I am writing a novel, I write in a journal, I write on a forum, ect, ect. I enjoy writing.

I like watching movies. I would consider it a hobby because I collect all the ones I love and prefer to watch movies alone rather than with someone.

I play guitar, kinda.

I have a ritual where I go out walking with my iPod for a long time. Not a hobby?

I read.

 

[Berithil]

tinkering with random techie stuff (been trying to fix an old fat ps3 that died a few years back, to no avail), though I guess that falls under "tech"

I also do the occasional drawing project, and I'm trying to get into stage acting for a local theater.

Then there's the more usual reading, cooking, watching (and mentally critiquing) films.

Used to do archery, but then I (actually, my brothers) lost all my arrows, and I haven't been bothered to go buy some more.

I used to do that when I was a kid. I even had a bow that went perfectly with a Link Costume I made for myself. Still have the bow. Not the outfit though D:

 

[FalloutJack]

Actually, I have some Gundam models, for fun. I also read, walk/explore, and plot to destroy the world for my stories.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Listening to music, writing fiction, reading fiction, practicing my drawing, exercising, playing sports, watching movies, and researching interesting topics and articles.

Yep, I can safely say that there's never a dull moment with my spare time.

 

[emeraldrafael]

Im currently writting a nuzlocke (id link but i dont know how the escapist views that kinda stuff. I know for news sites its cool cause its a source, but not sure on other forum based sites) and i used to do a lot of free writing that was looking back now just generally terrible (but is still up on quizilla under the same account name [i think, i havent been on in a while and odnt know if they take down inactive accounts]).

other then that, I have a rather vested interest in the Penguins, Predators, and Athletics (all sports teams). I also enjoy reading, and wish i had the talent to actually draw. OH, and music and movies, but i guess those are kinda givens.

 

[Casual Shinji]

I draw the occasional cartoon.

Spoiler

Nothing I can make a living out of, but at least I got some talent to show.

 

[saintdane05]

I make models. Mostly Gunpla, but I've been getting into Warhammer 40K. Gonna build me an Ork Bommersoon.

 

[Stasisesque]

I like to read, I enjoy writing, I've lately discovered a penchant for photography (my own (which is naive at best) and others'), films interest me. But I think the most interesting of my hobbies would be birdwatching. I'm hoping to get into bird photography at some point.

Oh and I like nature rambling, but that's less a hobby and more an obsession.

 

[Guffe]

I used to paint a lot of WH40k.
Still got my Ork army left, (about 2000 points)

But sports is something I like a lot.
To watch Football.
The play about everything, not particulary good at anything but I love playing and running after a ball, I become like apuppy chasing a ball when playing football. Snooker is also very fun t play, althou extremely difficult.
And hitting the gym at least 3 or 4 times a week.

 

[DanielBrown]

Music. Mainly listening to and discovering new, great bands, but I play a bit myself on a very amateurish level.
Want to improve, however I lack the patience of practising.

 

[Yan007]

My second hobby is bodybuilding. Kinda complements my gaming habits pretty well. I can sit down and play as much as I want between my training sessions and I never ever feel guilty or lazy because you have to rest s much as possible when you are not in the gym in order to grow.

 

[Padwolf]

I play piano. At least I would be if my piano hadn't died D: feels like I'm missing a god damn limb it means that much to me. Other than that, I sing, I write, I read, I watch movies. When I'm not on a game I've got a book in my hands and I'm watching a movie at the same time as reading.

 

[Sacman]

I play guitar... been in a few bands... mostly punk stuff... thank god we never put anything up on youtube...but ever since I've gotten into Dinosaur Jr. I can't sleep at night without hearing J Mascis melt my face and soothe my ears, with his brand of soul destroying melodies glazing my ears with their sweet noise...<.<

So, yeah I've been trying to play a lot like that... never really soloed much before like last year... but ever since I discovered them I just want to be them...<.<

I mean I have to listen to Raisans from their 1994 performance on MTV Europe... when he bursts into that solo I want to vomit in amazement that any single person can make those kinds of beautiful noise on guitar... just moving so flawlessly between rocking me to pieces and touching my soul with those beautiful melodies.... all in the same improved solo...


and there I go again... turning this into a post to praise mah favorite band... but oh well...<.<

 

[Wadders]

Football, either watching on TV or going to matches when I can. I also read a lot, but my main hobby is clay pigeon shooting.

I've been doing it for around 4 years, shooting for my University team when we co to competitions, but I've never practiced quite as much as I should have - I'd love the be able to compete by myself in local competitions but as it's a costly hobby I don't have the time or money at the moment.

 

[lechat]
