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.

The 3 Thing I Like Doing Is Swimming Swimming Is Pretty Awesome. The 4 Thing I Like Doing Is Playing Blizzard Games Like Starcraft Diablo 2 Warcraft 3 The 5 Thing I Like Is Going On Road Trips To Diffent States Because You Get To See So Much And Its Awesome You Get To Yell At Ppl And Crap.

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.
