What are your hobbies?

I do 3d abstract(mostly) artwork* now and then, browse the net, and... well I dont do a whole heck of a lot. Play some other games now and then... I've got a guitar, and I just got a drumpad. Yamaha DD-65. Its pretty sweet. I need a lot of practice tho. Anyone else play guitar or drums?

*check my sig to see the artwork

I'm looking for some other hobbies. As of now, I find myself mapping anywhere between 5-10 hours a day. I really hope I get to work at Valve someday. Otherwise, I'll have to map less once I get a job.

I basically spend most of my time on the PC either making maps or playing games; i have got a part-time job at the moment and am going to Weltech next month which i am looking forward to after 3 years of being home schooled cough.

As well as being addicted to portal (seriously, I can't stop )

I wrote a book which I'm trying to self-publish (fantasy) and I spend all my other free time gaming. (Just finished Super Mario Galaxy, trying to finish Metroid Prime 3, enjoying Phoenix Wright 3 (obvioiusly), and trying to find all the flags in Assassin's Creed.

The rest of the time is spent working, but the less said about that the better. Thank God I have 3 weeks holidays from starting right now

I take it you're either unemployed or in school?

I work 9 hr shifts mon-thurs and an 8 hr on friday, they will soon be 10 hr shifts for a month or two. So I'm too tired afterwards to do a whole lot.

You drummers out there, do you have access to any drum tabs? all the sites are shut down by the mpaa or something.

You guys are on my hobby right now.

Web development, programming, etc.

I switch between a full time job and school each semester. When I'm working, I just don't feel like doing anything and just play TF2 and surf the net.

During school, I have more time, so I draw, work on my computer, build a new computer, ect.

Yeah, I'm a college student with too much free time on his hands.

I'd be cool and say that I play Guitar, but it doesn't really count considering it's plastic.

Pshaw. I still beat GH3 on expert at any rate.

Eating tacos.
Drinking Dr. Pepper.
Drumming.
Designing levels.
Gaming.

Work takes up most of my time but besides mapping I game (like most of us here), surf the net a bit and walk my dog. I used to play drums all the time but had to sell my beautiful Pearl kit when I got my condo, I still hack around on a pad as well as do some writing for a local high school drum line my buddy teaches. I stop by and do some little informal clinic type things from time to time too.

I find myself playing Call of duty 4 about three hours a day lately. I've also been recently mapping for Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis. I should to get back to mapping Hammer again.

Well there's work: about 15-18 hours a week of delivering pizzas, it barely pays the bills and leaves me enough to eat and go out with my girlfriend.

Hobbies: Gaming (Deus Ex, Portal, Grid Wars, UT3, and Another World)
Reading (currently rereading the Sandman graphic novels)
Hiking/Exploring(when the weather is nice, but its not now ...and my knee aches)
and of coarse spending "quality time" with my girlfriend.

See sig.

Portal (mapping) is really just a subset of my larger hobby of map design, which is really just a subset of my larger hobby of game design.

I'm hoping someday sooner rather than later it stops being a hobby.
