Only One Hobby Allowed

Post by BurningDoom »

Let's pretend for whatever reason you are restricted to only one hobby. I don't know, the Squire of Gothos is bored and wants to mess with you for kicks.

But whatever the reason, you are limited to only one. Now this doesn't include normal stuff. You still get to spend time with loved ones, pursue religion, work, school, workout; whatever is normal for you. And of course normal stuff like eating, sleeping, showering, etc.; this is just limited to extracurricular activities.

Stuff like sports, TV, movies, video games, comic books, motorcycle riding, etc. Which one would you choose?

For me it would come between video games, comic books, and internet browsing (if I thought "internet surfing" first, does that make me old?). And if came down to it, I'd probably stick with the internet surfing. It's sad, but I think I'm an internet junkie. Between YouTube videos, online forums, eBay shopping, Facebook, and music sampling I spend a good amount of my free time online.

Internet browsing isn't a hobby, is it? I can't fathom how it can be. For me, it would be video games, though, since I already do all my reading for work!

Edit: Also, I'd just make a video game that accessed all my music, and another one which allowed me to read. I'm pretty sure that's legal according to op's parameters, right?

Shit, I'm actually down to one hobby. I play video games.

I don't watch TV, I don't read comic books, I don't watch anime and collect wall scrolls (lulz), I don't maintain a classic car or taste wine or build models.

So yeah, this isn't an abstract question for me. I'd play video games.

I view surfing the internet as an annex to playing video games.

Reading books. I think I'd die otherwise.

Wait. Does "listening to music" count as a hobby? I'd still pick books, but man... that is a tough, tough decision.

Reading comes #1.

Wait, isn't reading part of your job? I think you can make that argument, right? Right? :P

Definitely would stick to video games. That comes first on my list of hobbies, right next to watching movies/TV.
