I was just wondering when you guys are not working eating sleeping and ags'n you days away what else do you get up to?
I go to school, play some games, play with FL, play with drawing programs, play with mys... Browse the forums.
Well...I go to school basically and do homework...but if its summer, then I like to build and fly gas powered r/c planes...fish..hunt...things like that...ooo...**hunting** make our little video series : Varmit Nazis, best of the west....good times...good times......
Hobbies, hmm.
I draw a lot, I play rhythm guitar in a band, I draw, I read books, I listen to music a whole lot... Oh, I draw sometimes, too.
I play videogames, sometimes I just sit around and do nothing. I have many hobbies.
I, too, go to school, but I wouldn't really call that a hobby...
partying, playing the guitar and inventing new magictricks.
Drawing, making adventures (AGS) and platform games (MMF) and listening to music while doing so.
oh i didnt list mine... my bad! so yeah i draw listen to music 2 BTW FAV BANDS GUYS? mine are good charlotte blink 182
seether tweak simple plan and green day. I also love the smashing pumpkins , cypress hill, 16 stitch , drowning pool. and more alternative and heavy metal stuff depending on my mood. Skate boarding when ever i can website design (recent) and yeah looking into this ags thing... btw new sa skateboard site opening soon! cant wait... http://www.streetcrew.co.za lewks like its gona be kewl... for a local project anyway. the construction thing looks kewl check it out. Mobile devices and technology rule the other part of my life and then there is the woman factor that takes a bit of a chunk out of it too...
Well I used to love making games... Now I don't find a joy in it for an unknown reason. I suppose it's that drawing my own gfx takes too much time and I never managed to find an artist to help me with it. The only game I completely finished was nice, but since it was a puzzle game and I'm still a kid I couldn't make any interesting levels, so I gave up after the fifth.
Right now I love music and I'm learning the electric guitar. I also enjoy just being online
Favourite bands: Disciple, Tourniquet, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, System of a Down and more
Hobbies? Oh god.
I read, write (novels, short stories, poems, scripts and songs), act, sing, play piano, collect vintage fantasy novels, collect comic books, collect rocks, study Celtic, Egyptian and Classical myths, listen to music (mostly weird stuff like They Might Be Giants, Arrogant Worms or Lemon Demon, or Celt-Rock like Dropkick Murphys, Enter the Haggis or Mudmen). I sew, cook, and I've recently become interested in thrifting. I do country dancing- we're talking renaissance dances here, NOT line or square dancing. I go to renaissance festivals and until I started getting really creeped out by the baron (head of the group), was a member of the SCA.
Oh yeah, and I STILL manage to have a social life, a job, and get reasonable marks. I just don't sleep.
I sometimes take a walk around a nearby lake.
I also trim dogs for professional dog shows.
The dog thing is not true.
QuoteThe dog thing is not true.
That's not what you're mom says! Zing!
Um...I, too, attend classes, if I wake up. Watch tv, mess around on my computer, programing here and there. I enjoy chess, and other mind-logical puzzles. I play a weekly game of poker. I fraternize with my fraternity (Band service fraternity). And generally just slob about.
-MillsJROSS
and mills will school you at chess and then school you at poker...
only after making up a bunch of fakey rules for poker like whatever "The River" is and "Dealer has to take off an article of clothing if he deals a jack of spades."
Meanwhile, this is everything I do.

I walk around randomly scaring old ladies and standing menacingly in underpasses.
When you're in the International Baccalaureate program in high school, there isn't any time for hobbies.
BUT, whenever I do get a free second or so (which is quite rare), I practise archery with my bow, skateboard if it's summer, play video/computer games (Legend of Zelda and Quake III Arena, w00t), do stupid stuff with my friends like biting into bars of soap, and devise ways to get out of IB and visit Ottawa.
Oh, I'm also trying to learn Hebrew now as a side-hobby, but it's so hard to learn. Stupid grammar rules. ._.
I drink. I smoke. I listen to music while drinking and smoking, in the corner of a bar, usually. I don't drink and smoke as much as I used to. I barely do either now, at least not in the quanitites I would like to. But a beer and a smoke a night will have to suffice. Sometimes I play guitar - a little. Or piano, if the mood strikes me. I read quite a bit. I love film, and I watch them constantly. I also write screenplays, stageplays and comedic bits when I get a chance. I've directed some short films, I've recorded an album, and I once published a comic book with a friend. I enjoy long walks off of short piers, and inhaling ocean water through my noses. I like running backwards, naked, through corn fields. I also enjoy plowing tobacco fields with my bare hands. I've been known to collect wax paper wrapping from McDonalds, and I have a teeth collection. Most are my own from when I was a kid, but once I stole my neighbors dentures. They're in there too. I also collect 8Bit NES stuff, but so far, I only have an NES and a copy of 'Rolling Thunder' by Tengen. I want a banjo, and I have a fiddle. I write incredibly bad love poetry for everyone except my girlfriend. My mailbox number is 474, PM me if you wanna chat.

I notice none of you has said "I spend 6 hours a day on IRC" yet.
Apart from AGS, I read, listen to music, watch movies, play a LOT of Counter-Strike: Source as well as other games. I also spend far more than 6 hours a day on IRC. Aside from all that, I'm a 2nd-year university student.
Read a lot. Write a little. Listen to lots of music. Talk on msn. Sit around in #ags. Occasionaly i go into this so called 'outside' place. I'm not sure if anyone here willl have heard of it. But apparently there's this big ball called 'the sun' and it gives off 'natural light' Yeah, I thought it sounded weird too.
I work everyday teaching English to little Japanese kids who view me as more of a jungle gym than a teacher (I know this is about hobbies, but this is too fun to be thought of as a job). When I have periods off, I'm working on my AGS game, or browsing these forums for tips and, very rarely, posting. I used to use my free periods to work on my website (Flash programming is another hobby) http://www.omahatookinawa.com but for the last month, all of my creative juices have been poured into AGS, so I haven't updated it in quite some time.
As for this strange "outside" place that Alec speaks of. I have discovered it ever since I moved to this sunny beautiful island of Okinawa. I go to the beach when I can, and last week I started surfing lessons.
Oh, yeah, and there's that whole girlfriend thing that takes up some time, too...
Man, I can't wait until teaching kids English is my hobby ^_^ (fingers crossed)
Hobbies? Trying out everything, and then dropping out when I see I have passed the "amatuer" level and will have to actually work to get to the "professional" level.
Other than that I read ALOT (as in mini paperbacks every day, and nice big novels over the weekend. Write occasionally. Doodle. Look for weird things to do on the net. Playing video games. Planning and designing games (I haven't done enough of the actual making part to call it a hobby). Eating. I enjoy rowing, hiking, swimming and target practice (with a rifle, but nothing alive).
Hmmm, hobbies.
I really don't have much time for hobbies nowadays. I do pixel for fun after work but I'm getting paid for it so it's not a mere hobby any more since deadlines and stuff are involved.
Apart from that... well I suppose sex doesn't quite fall under this category, so then it's pubs and darts. I used to be quite a good league player.
Darts anyone???
Yes, I failed to mention that I have my IRC prgorams open 24/7
I play the guitar, skateboard. And let's not forget making computergames!
If I were not at school, eating, sleeping or ags'n, I'd probably be dead. AGS IS MY WHOLE LIFE!!!
Or wait a minute... I forgot I DO have some hobbies:
Drawing, AGS, listening to music, AGS, rollerblading, AGS... oh, I forgot one thing: I make games with AGS ;)
I roleplay a lot, I write poetries, I create RPGs and their settings
I play guitar, which has to be the most common answer in this thread. I also play bass, drums, and piano, however, which might be a bit more original here.
I also enjoy drawing, eating, and movies.
Pr0n and Ice cream is my main hobby and favorite mixture.
What's this with all the guitarplaying? Am I the only drummer around?
... and I play a little guitar ;)
Ugh, damn, I have to stop playing guitar and choose the flute or smth. Then I'll be more original. I wanna be the black mass of people who differ from the gray mass ;)
Well music is cool but it made me rethink learning the guitar, drums are out and well.
Ill just board you guys can do the music thing. Never the less I have now started a new hobbie..

I draw, listen to music (offspring, muse, bear naked ladies, the killers, the bavery, dream theater, jet, FRANZ FERDINAND!) I play some football, basketball and I watch alot of tv.
Oh, you know. The usual stuff: Drawing, animating, bury the bones of my victims in the backyard, making games, playing games and the like. Oh, and I also like learing. It's the fun. :)
Hobbies?
Making games, playing games, chatting with friends, drawing and other stuffs I can't think of right now.

Er..
What exactly is this new hobby, then?
Hmmm, lots of stuff I like to do.
Let's see, one of my main "hobbies" for a long time has been the Martial-Arts (I've trained in many styles, and I also teach some lessons in Martial-Arts too), and I'm a bit of a movie-buff (enjoy watching / collectiing good movies), programming games now with AGS, programming WebSites, using the computer in general (Got a Computer Engineering degree too BTW), play Harmonica, exercise, reading, writing (working on getting my first book published now), sketching, travel. I also teach English lessons too (though it's not really a hobby, but thought I'd mention it as someone else did)... I'm always open minded to try new things too, and have other varied interests as well, but those mentioned are some of the things I do more commonly.
Making/playing games mostly, drawing, reading, bit of writing. The usual stuff...
