Can not find a topic on Non-computer games or hobbies anywhere, so I guess I'll start one here.

I'm heavy into pinball (NO not on my computer. Well, sometimes, but only if they simulate real ones). I have 2 at home (Williams WhiteWater & Williams F-14) and money/space permitting I would have 10! They are GREAT! Bashing a real iron ball around, playing with gravity, action-reaction, bounce-angles etc. Repairing them is also fun, I got both in non-working state, repaired them myself.

I guess I'm from a different generation. Today's youth is more into electronic games, and the operators don't mind since pinball machines that get heavy use should be regularly cleaned/repaired & adjusted. If a game-cabinet fails you just replace the monitor, or chip.

Anybody got a similar hobby? Paintball, baseball, ANYTHING outdoors? Non-rebootable stuff mainly? Or is everybody here pretty much chained to their hardware...?

I spend most of my time on the computer, but when I'm not I spend my time drumming (I'm not crazy, but I'm pretty good) or watching TV . In the winter I ski and snowboard. That's about it >_>, I don't have much hobbies other than the computer.

I have a lt of hobbies, I'm surprised I'm on the computer as much as I am. If I'm not playing Ice hockey i'm playing roller hockey, if im not playing roller hockey i'm hanging out with my gf, if im not doing that im playing my guitar and if im not eating, sleeping, working, or driving my sister around I am on the computer. I guess driving my sister and working isnt a hobby but o well.

[dreamerspiritt]

Summer is the only time I have any free time, I'm in an advanced program at school, which is pretty demanding during the school year, but when I DO have free time I like watching anime, reading manga, and hanging out with my friends (mostly Rachel and Ant), drawing, painting, and taking pictures.

[qingtian]

[freshpub]

I like painting and drawing, but I often end up retouching my work with GIMP.

But for somthing totally computer unrelated, I swim and dance.

Sadly, I always end up back in front of my screen, well with work and all that...

[Baniboy]

Wow, somebody has dug a deep hole for this thread and buried it there because I didn't find it until now!
I play my drums, my piano, and I go jogging 3 times a week. Other than that, I'm on my computer playing, coding or hanging out at trap17
