My hobbies are really rather limited outside of gaming/computer related stuff. Reading is about it. I read more than I game normally. Haruki Murakami is a favourite, Stephen King, Graham Greene, Frank Herbert, Jack Kerouac - quite a varied bunch really.
My favourite pigeon had a fatal run-in with a cloud...

touching myself.

Seems to be quite a popular pastime these days.
Gaming since 1985

Haruki Murakami is a favourite
Hell yeah, Murakami!
I love his books since I read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle on a summer vacation in Turkey in 2002. I suffered a sunburn right from the 2nd day, and so a friend lend me his book to help fighting the boredom when I stayed at the hotel for that day.

If I had to choose a favorite story, I honestly couldn't decide. They are all enjoyable.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

LEGO, street sketching, reading manga… I love to go for long mountain walks when on holidays.

I love to travel, too.

I love cars. Current Mobil is a Vauxhall insignia 1.8 140bhp. You chaps may know it as a buick regal.
I love to read but cant seem to make time these days. My favourite authors are garrison keillor and bill bryson. Also michael palin.When I'm not working I'm basically a house husband.
I love listening to computer game music and BBC radio dramas. I don't really like television except for Sci fi type stuff. Just got x files box set and attempting to plough through that.

For the past 7 months and the foreseeable future, my pup Osmun has been dominating my free time. I'm a lot healthier, body and soul,  because of him too. He has shown no interest in chewing cords, controllers or anything but his toys.

Oh, another hobby of mine is reading. 
You might like Carl Hiaasen.  I would recommend starting with his book Skin Tight.

As for me it is playing the drums but I am looking for a new set when I close on my house.  I used to skate.  I miss it sometimes, then realize my health insurance deductible sucks now...and I am old.

Wow, so many well-rounded people on here.  I feel like a real slouch...  I basically just enjoy video games, film, and animation these days when I'm not working. 

I actually used to work as a stage actor, and I had hoped to do professional voice acting at some point, but I haven't acted in over six years now and it's really killing me.  It honestly kept me healthy and I enjoyed life more when I was performing regularly.  I mainly quit because I got married and felt like I needed a "real job" to support us.  Seems like a huge mistake in retrospect; particularly since the marriage didn't last.

I also love to sing.  I was performing with a choral society there for a while, but other events in my life kept me from continuing with it.

Comrade, have you had a chance to watch Blakes 7? I have wanted to rewatch it for years...I have rotting VHS tapes somewhere (random episodes) that I should probably unearth.
