Heh, funny story. One of my hobbies outside of gaming is parkour/tricking with some of my friends. Think Mirror's Edge but at a playground, dodging little kids instead of cops. So when I heard about Mirror's Edge coming out, I got really really pumped and, of course, preordered it. They released a really cool video with some neato tricks in it that I hadn't thought of. So my first impulse was to go try them out. I ended up breaking my wrist as a result, and had to sit and watch my brother play Mirror's Edge when it came out. Painful.

Really into biking. Mountain biking mostly. Big thrill seeker. Where ever that takes me.

Reading and/or listening to spoken word podcasts, especially short stories and poetry. One of the best literary podcast is NPR's "Selected Shorts". It has a ton of great literature and fiction read by some of the best famous, and not so famous, talent from stage and screen. Next to T-Dar it is my favorite podcast. It's always a nice counter balance to the hilarious vulgarity I get from my beloved T-Dar.
I also like some of the newer grittier fantasy series out recently. The Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust is excellent. "The Song of Fire and Ice" series has been the easiest 2500 plus pages I have ever read.
If I had a lick of talent or ability, I would play an instrument due to my love of music. One can only dream.

I have a somewhat strange hobby. It's walking. Just walking.
I go and walk to my friends house, to the river, to the store, anywhere in town.
It relaxes me after playing an infuritating game of L4D's Versus with people like "Assy McSexerton" ruining the game for other people.

I love drawing and writing. Because, you know that I need something productive to do when I'm not rotting my brains out and getting "points" for raping people, snorting cocaine, and shaking babies.
Drawing is like the Twitter of hobbies: you're putting a lot of work/time into something, may it be good or not, but it's only for some people to see, unless you're a professional. But I still love it either way.
And writing is great for my creativity as long as it has nothing to do with Halo's alternate storyline and Gordon Freeman's brother.

Mine is like a grown up video game. I drive!!
Not just getting from 1 place to another but right proper hooligan off road driving.
When I moved to Peru I bought a 1966 convertible 5 litre V8 Mustang as my toy, but the police kept stopping me for bribes (seriously) so decided to keep play time off road.
I have just restored a 1960 swb land rover to original (the best one in Peru!!!) which I use for going into the mountains and general rugged naughtiness.
For the sand I have a Baja Bug. Was going to full tubular/sand rail but had a chance at a sand spec fibreglass tub for a good price.
The weird thing is how playing games has effected my driving. If you don't know proper off road driving is very technical and actually quite slow. For very steep or really uneven ground you might be moving at walking pace from rock to rock. Very precise driving. I used to drive like this when I played mainly FPS on my pc back in the UK.
Since going console I play many more driving games. Now all discipline goes out of the window. Big hill? Fast as possible, forget the brakes, straight line..... Trouble is this way is normally followed by reverse down slowly, trying to miss the big rock that hit your differential at 50mph!
In my buggy I just have to drift. Again the proper way to drive is rolling over the sand, very steady and smooth... now wheels spin, sideways and a tow out!
Have to say though.. the game way is more exciting, if less effective.
Have to get me a motorbike next!

I really like everything to do with Star Wars, if you couldn't tell. I also play Bass in the Orchestra at my school, and Bass Guitar in Drumline.
