Hobbies other than collecting?
 
My time is fairly limited these days with having a baby, but I try to go to the gym everyday. I'm trying to get a copy of photoshop so I can start making images again.

Jason Abbadon 10-24-2011 11:29 PM

I build model starships at starshipmoddeler.com
I also read like crazy- comics, books, online.
I dont watch TV (some tings like Clone wars on DVD of course) so there's a ton of time.

I also follow world events and politics- it's sorta a spectator sport hobby.

Fortune 10-24-2011 11:41 PM

Heroclix, Video Games, Movies, & card games. Im kind of a jack of all trades and try most different things.

LXL_Guy 10-24-2011 11:58 PM

Hm...besides collecting. Nothing. Not really...I collect other things besides toys.

I collect & play a lot of video games. I haven't kept track of how many but I should be a little over 550 titles now across multiple consoles/handhelds.

I got into the comic scene about 3 or 4 years ago. I have picked up/dropped quite a few series over that time. Managed 4 full long boxes so far. Most of it is bagged & boarded. Though slightly losing some interest as of late.

I still enjoy watching the various incarnations of Kamen Rider & Super Sentai.

I still do watch anime from time to time. Still an avid Manga reader.

FancyPants 10-25-2011 12:18 AM

Gotta love video games. I only do xbox 360 though. Barely enough time to juggle everything.

trebleshot 10-25-2011 07:46 AM

Movies, music, video games. But as a father of two, I don't have as much time to devote to any of my hobbies as I would like. But that's ok, because my children are my world.

Oh, almost forgot. There's also this one website I like to go to from time to time. It's called Toyark. Maybe you've heard of it? ;)

omega145 10-25-2011 08:00 AM

You mean theres other hobbies out there other than collecting toys?!?!?! Thats madness! :)
My wife and I are into geocaching. For those that arent familiar with it, its kind of a new age treasure hunt where you go to geocaching.com, find coordinates, then use a GPS device to locate the "cache". A really great way to see some sites that you'd normally wouldnt know was even there and a good way to get some exercise along with being able to connect to nature.
I'm also completely comfortable sitting at home watching a good movie or TV. Not much on TV but I enjoy Dexter (actually stream it from my computer), The Ultimate Fighter or any UFC events and The Walking Dead. I stream movies from Netflix onto my PS3 often.
Have trained in MMA before and have been trying to get back into it for a while now as its a great way to be in shape and also release a lot of tension and aggression.
Of course taking pics of my toys that I collect also is something that I enjoy.
Being a Father and Husband always have first priority over any hobbies so obviously that can take time away from other hobbies.
I feel like I'm posting on a freaking dating website or something now, haha.

neatogecko 10-25-2011 08:51 AM

My wife and kids come first of course. Other than that I enjoy travelling, movies, tv (I agree with Omega, Dexter is awesome), reading, and war gaming (Warhammer and the like, althogh not so much lately).

By the by, I like threads like this because I feel like it let's me know you all a little better and it feels more like I'm chating with real people.

I saw this and posted there yesterday :)

My grandpa kind of does what you do. Only he goes out with archeologists and hunts for dinosaur bones in strange places around arizona. I'm probably going to go on his next trip.

I'm pretty much in the same boat dude. I read a lot too, but it seems like forever since I sat down and channel surfed. The only thing I've purposely tuned in for in the last few months was The Walking Dead.

I refuse to watch commercials. So i torrent everything. But i only watch two shows really. Breaking Bad and Dexter. I just cant stand the mindless advertisements

Xcaliber037 10-25-2011 01:21 PM

I used to fly RC Helicopters but crashing can get expensive. I tell you what though. It's the most challenging "video game" I have ever experienced. It's like balancing a broom on your hand. I still have the simulator to fly but I don't have the time or the funds anymore with our little girl and toy collecting. Sports and video games are some of my fave hobbies at the moment.

M3T4L V1KING 10-25-2011 03:27 PM

I'm a teenager. I socialize, go to parties, and do stupid things. And then there's homework...

ersico 10-25-2011 03:45 PM

married, so married guy stuff,
fishing at the beach, hanging with my dogs, and cat, and other pets
huge into glyos and customizing
tatoos though i spend my money on stuff i don't need instead of saving for more ink
anything beach related
talking to my other toy dorks online :) i love u guys ;)

BlackMagnus 10-28-2011 12:56 PM

Movies, music, painting/creating customs, chilling with my kids is probably my favorite though.:)

Crazy Jetty 10-28-2011 02:15 PM

Mine are drawing, reading comics, watching animation, RPing, and studying zoology, paleozoology, and the astronomical sciences.

Redlantern161 11-04-2011 01:36 PM

Well I've been a HUGE wrestling fan since the days of the Rock & Austin (even though I was 8 & way too young to watch & understand what was on TV at the time). I also love listening to my music mostly metal dubstep & alternative. Aside from wrestling I watched like 2 anime series which were Dragon Ball & Naruto.

thechris 11-04-2011 01:51 PM

Drawing, reading, sculpting, painting, programming, graphic design, do it yourself projects, going to the gym, working on my car, practicing guitar, martial arts, listening to music. These are what I'd consider my hobbies. Obviously I do other things, like go the movies, go out for food, hang out with friends, date, that sort of thing but I wouldn't consider those to be my hobbies. :)

I enjoy eating Whoopie Pies from different bakeries.

roshan 11-04-2011 02:26 PM

I climb mountains and do winter cross country races.

Similarly, I enjoy eating donuts from different bakeries. I try to avoid the chain donut shops and go to the mom and pop places. Usually the frosting at those type of shops is amazing.

Dunk's donuts are the worst, and Krispy Kreme gives me acid.

Honey Dew is the best chain donut IMO.

There's a mom and pop called Kane's by where I live that has these cakey donuts that are to die for.

I despise krispy kreme. They opened up a ton of chain stores in the midwest and lowballed the gas stations that out source for donuts and put a lot of mom and pop stores out of business. Then when all the money dried up and they found out they couldn't make enough profit all of those krispy kreme stores went out of business and now there's hardly any good donut places around my area.

The best chain donut store imo is Tim Horton's. But only Tim Horton's in Canada, the US chain stores do not abide by the idea that their donuts need to be fresh.

KK did the same thing here, those bastards.

After they skipped town with all of hearts and dreams with them, the powers that be turned their precious donut factory into a bank.

Damn you Krispy Kreme!
