Besides Video/Computer Games
Besides video/computer games, what do you do for fun or relaxation?
I watch some anime(such as Robotech, Gundam and Eureka Seven) on DVD, Paint my assembled miniatures, walk my dog, reading Novels(Battletech based novels obviously), browse the net(dur!), drawings/artwork, listen to music, and making levels/missions for various games(does this count?), making websites. That's all I can think of.

Play guitar. Read. Write code. Friends. With friends I go bowling or shoot pool or barhop, or hang out at each other's houses. (It's nice when you get old you have your own place)

Read books.
Play tin whistle.
My 7 year old son is learning piano and we like to have jam sessions, he makes up part on the piano and I make up part on the whistle or fife. You, uhm, really wouldn't want to hear it, but we have a lot of fun!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Play non-computer games. Chess, Monopoly, Risk, Bonkers, Go-Fish, Memory, Cathedral, Groo, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Battleship, Checkers, Mancalla, Chinese Checkers, Stratego, Clue, Dominoes, etc.
Puzzles. Got a new 3D castle we've got to put together but we haven't finished the roof of the 3D \"Lord of the Rings Edoras\" puzzle we started on before Christmas.
Talk. It's amazing how much fun you can have just sitting around and talking to people.
You can combine the \"read a book\" and \"talk\" fun easily by getting together a group and reading a book together and then discussing/arguing about it. I do this almost every week, LOTS of fun!
The old fashioned sit around the living room with real people kind of fantasy role playing games.
I'm learning Java. So yes, I'm insane, I work at programming all day, then program in the evenings for \"relaxation\" just because I think it's fun.
And, occasionally, I participate in online forums...![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re:
I recently moved to Denver, and I'm the same. I enjoy skiing (I have yet to try snowboarding), but it's not a huge deal for me, unlike some people out here.Beowulf wrote:It's weird, I live in Denver and I'm not really big into skiing/snowboarding.

I know it's difficult for the modern guy to believe, but having significant discussions used to be considered the exclusive purview of males.TIGERassault wrote:And here's me thinking that Bettina was the only woman on this forum...
Now we've not only allowed the women in, but moved the guys out. No discussions above the level of sports debates allowed for typical males. Alas.
Fortunately, no one has EVER mistaken me as being a typical anything.

De Rigeur, what kind of guitar do you have? It looks like an PRS CE or something.

I have a PRS Swamp Ash Special, but this one is a custom built job that I got off ebay. It has Duncan PU's and LR Baggs piezo bridge. Pretty versatile.Firewheel wrote:De Rigeur, what kind of guitar do you have? It looks like an PRS CE or something.
