Obviously we all have some small obsession with TV and movies but what else to you Pups do in your spare time?

I've rather obsessed with history and politics with a healthy obsession with video games (even building an arcade cabinet).

What about Pups? What are you passionate about?

I repair and maintain classic Volkswagens and I really enjoy going to baseball games (from little league to high school, college, and professional)

I try to spend a healthy amount of my time reading and playing video games. Though, films and television seem to be the most effective sponge for subsuming those beloved, uncommitted hours.

I have a feeling that this reply will be the only one different from, "video games and browsing the internet".

That's also my answer, by the way.

@damnitsted: Same! The baseball not the VWs. We have a softball place nearby that often has leagues going on, $1 hotdogs and just watch people play, is awesome.

@FinalDasa: nice, oo a hotdog sounds good right now

that settles it, I'm cooking up some hotdogs... at 11:21pm

Video games, reading, listening to music, going to sporting events (my city has a pro football and basketball team; wish we had baseball, but probably for the best because I would want season tickets and I probably couldn't afford them).

I've gotten into playing racquetball, even though I'm terrible at it and mostly just want to mess around. Despite being in the business world, I hate golf. I never understood why so many play, but I'm convinced half the people I come across play it because they think they have to. Like, it's the rich, white man's version of peer pressure. I still find myself playing once or twice a year solely to spend time with friends, but a lot of people at the course or at the clubhouse are self-entitled jerks. It's not fun after a while.

Vidya games, but ideally writing. I think I have a real knack for it and even if I don't, I love it so much.

Graphic Design projects, playing Video Games, listening to music and hanging with friends is what I do besides watch movies and television.

Reading, writing, drawing, painting, listening to music. Art stuff, mostly. And I used to be obsessed with video games but for whatever reason lately I've just... Gotten tired of them. Not really sure why.

I'm super into video games and I play a lot of electric and classical guitar, amongst other music based activities. Combine these to make (be careful of changing volumes, it hasn't been compressed)

I'm the middle one and it's a bit worse than I remember it. The applause sounds a lot louder than it was, but we did get top marks for this in my university group performance module.

I also like playing and watching football (soccer) quite a lot and I watch a fair bit of stand up comedy.

I love bowling and try to go at least once or twice every weekend. I fish and kayak a lot as well.

Video games and a whole lot of guitar. I'm pretty much set with just that.

I read a LOT, also I am trying to get into some crafty things. I like to take evening classes at college every now and again. I've done counselling, photography, Photoshop and jewellery making. I play video games a little, but not very often. Work and looking for a new house takes up most of my time at the moment!

@Christina: What kind of books?

Post by LiquidSwords (467 posts) See mini bio

Punk/Hardcore vinyl. I have a little over 2000 records (Not including CD). I also collect old video game magazines like EGM, GameFan, OG Nintendo Power.

Movies/Tv aren't exactly a hobby since it's what I do for a living. I don't have many hobbies that I can think of, I spend most of my free time hanging out with friends or posting in forums, so I guess that's it.

@FinalDasa: A lot of crap to be honest, I do like the classics but I kinda enjoying just getting into a series of books and following a bunch of characters. I like paranormal/fantasy and crime/mystery mostly. You can actually see the books i've read here, and yes it's a pretty embarrassing list but who cares.
