So what does everyone do as a hobby? (non-computer releated)

[Rudedog]

I like collecting firearms and going to the shooting range with the wife and kids.

What do you like to do other then hang around in forums waiting for a great game to be released? ;)

Always practice gun safety

[NoMercy]

I do downhill mountain biking with my friends at a local ski hill. Very fun, but also very expensive.

[mthd]

[Mr_Meow]

I go bike riding around my area, I live near a Dock & Airport so on a nice sunny day i like to go for a long peddle for about an hour or two to kill time :)

Keeps you healthy after all ;P

[JiggaJigga]

- martial arts (wing tsun)

if you look solely on the techniques and principles then its flawless tbh. I've really enjoyed it since I've been doing and if you have a nice teacher he will show you how to adapt what you like to use/already know (might not be wing tsun techniques) into attacks and finishes etc. For example I did something called Cumberland Wrestling and I like to use locks and take downs because of that, and my teachers have worked with me to use that :P I would recommend wing tsun to anyone.

[Rudedog]

My oldest daughter into martial arts, more for the culture and loves it! However I wish her school would work on technique more then they currently do.

[Anarchy]

I ride my mountain bike (hardtail) through the city and am a huge anime/manga fan.

[dmschaos]

I have two kids. My son plays basketball, baseball and football...so, that keeps me pretty busy year round with practices and games and such. My daughter is only 3, so that's a 24hr activity itself. Otherwise, I'm working on burial-grounds or trying to get some gaming in. :)

[2112(AWG)]

Photography would be my other hobby besides online gaming. Something fun about capturing special moments, places, and people with ones lens. But hell I really don't have time for it as gaming is my first love lol.

[umulamahri]

I'm a death metal drummer. Been drumming allmost everyday for 10 years now. My band just split up & I'm currently looking for a new one. It's fun to play Extreme music!! \m/

[jammie_d]

I do downhill mountain biking with my friends at a local ski hill. Very fun, but also very expensive.

Yay! Downhillers! It is the best sport ever, and judging by this thread, its growing crazilly fast now.
Your rather lucky NoMercy - I take it the Ski-Run has a ski-Lift? I have to push up for 25 mins, only to come down for a mere 1.5mins :(

[Moncealyo]

Yeah I beat people with dead ducks. It helps me.

[BenGmanUk]

Swimming and weights at the moment and trying to get in shape for the summer.

[Twain]

Playing guitar. Most rock and heavy metal :)

[CodE-E]

Biking. Started getting into it again last summer, and I bought a nice new mountain bike last week. Too bad it's wet today. (Nothing against west weather per se, but cleaning all the mud off a bike when you don't have access to a garden hose or something similar really sucks).

[murka10]

in the weekends i go away to a quieter place, visiting my grandma 80km away.
i shoot some gunz there, sometimes we kill some cows and eat some fresh meat(gotta love that kidney).
but im mostly 24/7 behind pc.

[Laronzo]

I generally go down to the gym and play some badminton but I haven't done either recently thanks to the shingles I had a little while back.

Laronzo. :)

[Penn]

I ride my mountain bike (hardtail) through the city

I also take it through some dirt trails round my local park, really good way of killing time, especially if you have your mp3 player with you.

Tunes and bike riding, can't beat it!

[Frankie]

Yeah sometimes, but its quite far away and we have been quite busy trying to finish the game so normally I go more local like PORC!! Still it's good that its not closing down! I'll probably be able to go up more when the games done but I guess you will be up there less as your playing it! Say hello if you see me, heres my bike, (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/acepainkiller/orange_back.jpg) easy to recognise.

Wargaming with miniature soldiers and boardgames was a hobby, but haven't been able to do much of that since I came to China.

Reading, especially history and pre-20th century fiction.

Cooking, eating, and drinking (well, they're hobbies to me).

Anything to do with alcohol!
