Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Hmm outside of gaming? I actually used to be a sponsored skateboarder but I got bored of it and it started to take its toll on my knees. Now, I bike a little. I could stand to get out more though..

I played football as a kid but I really can't stand to play sports much anymore. I bowl from time to time, and I played volleyball last week and it was fun, but that's all.

Outside of gaming, I rock the fuck out on bass guitar. But I spend most of my time working, teaching my son about life, and treating my woman right.

Really? I rock the fuck out of my woman, treat my guitar right, and make my son spend most of his time working.

I'm really into music, especially electronic music and jazz. I listen primarily to drum n bass and experimental styles. I've played piano for years and I make beats on my laptop. Along with that I'm also into dancing. When it comes to electronic music, my style is liquid, when it comes to jazz, I do east coast swing.

I'm also an avid city biker. I prefer to bike instead of driving places, unless I need to carry a lot of heavy stuff or the weather is pretty bad. Now that I live in an apartment with 4 swimming pools, I've been doing a lot more swimming. We also have a nice gym and a basketball court that I use too.

I like to cook. I'm a vegetarian and I cook like I have something to prove because I want people to know that you can eat well as a vegetarian.

I used to be into art more, but I haven't done much of it lately. Here's a little of my work though if you're interested. I also write poetry.

I also have a lot of academic interests in various areas of science and philosophy. I'm currently working on a PhD in clinical psychology.

I also practice Zen sitting meditation and used to sit regularly at a zendo, though I mostly just practice on my own now.


These days, I mostly spend my free time with my wife, whom I love very much and we go on walks or hikes and watch a fair amount of TV and movies.

But now that I've moved here to Seattle I don't do it as much, as the only location close by is about 8 blocks down a 30 degree incline, which is not fun to walk up after destroying my legs. And it's impossible to find parking nearby.

DDR...thats not really...outside of games? I mean...I guess? ....maybe? lol

reguardless, I didnt know so many guys on here did so much active stuff, nice to know we are all not just a bunch of lumps :lol:
I don't like the outdoors. It's too hot. So my physical activity comes from video games that force me to move.

I spend most of my free time during the days and weekends with friends working on each others cars. As soon as we make adjustments, we head to the mountain roads to test our modifications. If it doesn't work out, back to the garage we ago. Most of my gaming time is about an hour before bed or so.

How old are you? I keep hearing that young people in Japan aren't into cars anymore. Obviously that's a vague statement, but I guess it depends on where you are. You could say that young people in the US who live in cities aren't as into cars either.
