Forums - General Discussion - What are your hobbies besides gaming?

Since this is a gaming related site, I take for granted that everyone here does a lot of gaming. But I'm curious as to what else people here might be doing on their spare time. So please tell me a bit about your non-gaming hobbies^^

Mine's drawing.

And Warhammer:

I used to play tennis too but wasn't that good at it, and now with university, I don't have time for it.

STARCRAFT IS THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED. F_A_C_T

awesome

Bet with pezus: If the Wii U has over 150% of the Vita userbase when the next CoD Launches, and has a synchronized launch, then it will outsell the lifetime sales of BLOPS:Declassified for Vita. 3 Months of sig control is at stake.

Reading and writing... actually I do both way more than gaming nowadays.

 

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Reading. I used to do Judo, but no time with college now.

It's the same for me. In fact, most of the time when I'm doing something gaming-related, it's being on VGChartz xD

Drawing, playing piano, reading, watching TV series.

I collect and read Comic Books and play some miniature wargames such as HeroClix, HeroScapes, Axis and Allies and other Miniature board games except for Warhammer. There's two reason why I don't play Warhammer.

#1 It cost too much and #2 I can't paint worth shit

"Cicero ended every speech to the Roman Senate with the phrase, “Carthage must be destroyed!” I will do the same with my blog posts.

I read comics, only 3 monthly books at the moment, Uncanny, Xmen (legeacy) and Avengers. Too expensive in the UK and starting to get fed up with Marvel's big events direction and X-men's direction especially. Bendis needs to go from Marvel. He's great but stick him back on his noir stuff like Alias. Writers can't do their own stories anymore as a big event will change everything again and get in the way because of cross arcs. Finally read Avengers vs X-men in the great Panini collection, wasn't worth it. Nice ideas, bad execution.

Bit of rock climbing too.



Hmm, pie.
