What kind of hobbies do PCers have?

sir-knight

Spawning from the cooking thread and the how many hours/week gaming you do...


What do poly counters do in their spare time, if not drawing/3ding or playing games?

Drawing is a given among us I guess, so no need to list that you draw a lot :P but what about other media, sculpture, real painting etc.


What kind of productive hobbies do you have?


I auto cross, which is grass roots motor racing in my 2007 subaru impreza

I used to write short stories and novelish kind of prose, now I'm into scriptwriting.

I'm learning japanese.

Recently I've been doing a lot of baking experimentation.

I'm into archery.

I've been involved with kung fu training for about 8 years.

I used to compete in archery for like eight years. Then switched to martial arts.

Now I just make shitloads of 3d every day, when I'm not in the gym. Or out binge drinking. It's a healthy mix ( hmm, no. Wait, that was wrong)

Well, since I don't do art for a living, I like to do 3D design on the side as a hobby (but haven't for a while now ). I also use to play paintball and golf. I haven't done them in a while either
Basically, my hobbies have become renovating my house, learning new code languages, and hanging with my family. I've been trying to fit photography in there now too.

Ruz

used to play snooker and pool. played in competitions and stuff, but never have time now. highest break of 83 in snooker.
These days I am too poor to have hobbies

Rc racing. Both On-road and Offroad.
I also like scuba diving but haven't found someone to go with and going alone is a bad idea.
I also like custom painting, just finished my motorcycle.
Which brings me to my next one, riding motorcycles.

Reading. Currently working my way through Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, but it isn't very interesting so far; the first two books are a retelling of the Old Testament for the Greeks.

It shouldn't be terribly surprising that I'll be a student of history come next monday .

Jay Evans

fighting crime, Standing moodily on the tops of buildings silhouetted by the moon, driving 300km\h down lonely dark highways with no headlights and the new Modern Combat NVGs.

EmAr

Music, bowling and sculpture. I've been playing the guitar for almost 12 years. I like sculpting with plasteline.

TheMadArtist

Pool. I play in two BCA leagues, one on Tuesday, one on Thursday. The Thursday one is competitive, but a little more laid back, whereas the Tuesday night one is a Vegas league, and is extremely tough. Quite a few Master players in it.

Other than that, gaming and music.

I am an avid reader, as many of the other polycounters seem to be. I am very fond of carpentry, and like to build little home projects when I have the time. Over the past few years, I have gotten much more heavily into programming, and this eats up most of my hobby time at the moment. I am also very keen on collecting Video Games and DVDs. Most of my DVD collection is of the animated variety. On the video game front, I am especially fond of acquiring older, hard-to-find games...mainly cartridge-based.

After my current big programming project is through, I'm planning on tiling my veranda, and then designing and constructing a custom bunk-bed for my room. Then I was thinking I would clear some office furniture out of my office nook and design and construct some substantial bookshelves there. (to better house my growing collection of DVDs and video games)

Ahhhhh...never a dull moment.

Shogun3d

I like to bang on my drum all day

As I'm an old giffer now, I mainly play golf and do a little archery. I used to do skateboarding about 5-10 years ago along with snowboarding (when I could) and rugby but my knees are now permanently knackered from vert ramp skating. As others have said my main hobby is actually 2d/3d work as I don't do it as a proffession, I find it very cathartic and relaxing and it appeals to my OCD nature.
