What do you do when you are not playing EQ?Follow

What is everyone elses hobbies besides the extremely addictive MMO genre?

I enjoy modifying my cars when I have the extra money and spending the day on the lakes here.

Enjoying the great outdoors!

Seriously though, I'm into mountain biking, I wish I could afford a car (since I'm a car freak too), workout at the gym, play volleyball, study... hehe

I also hope to be able to camp alot more too eventually, buy a kayak, go exploring. Love movies, going to the club fridays, too much to list!

I'm at University. :)

Washing my dogs!! OMG, I never thought my pit would get big enough to where I couldnt lift her...... If I werent for sure that she wasnt going to turn on me, she would almost scare me...

You know...being slightly dyslexic can be a bad thing...a really bad f'ucking thing. I'll not get that mental picture out of my head for awhile.

Anyways, I usually work all the time, so my free time is spent either reading, drinking, or sleeping.

On the rare occasion I do get to do something interesting, I like to play frisbee golf. We have two courses near here, with a third about two hours away. Also called "Frolf" by George Costanza.

As I have no car and I am too young to drive, I often read and write. I write novels, poetry, and fan fictions, though I often do school essays. I usually spend the remaining time trying vainly to memorise The Silmarillion, or to make up elven names for my mother. I have never made a good one:-)

I often play other games.

Here, buddy, let me help you. http://www.chriswetherell.com/elf/

My new elf name is: Linwë of Dorthonion.

And I'll thank you all to refer to me as such henceforth.

Hmm, I play a lot of Counter Strike on the LAN in my dorm with guys on my floor. That's my other computer-game-addicting game. Other than that, I watch a lot of sports (Go Illini) and do school work.

On the weekends I get drunk. 'Nuff said.

In no particular order....

Watching DvDs

Being with my lady and her daughter

Reading

Snowboarding

Paintballing

Working

Drinking

Danceing

My Elf name is Amras Telemnar...kinda cool actually. =)

Computer gaming is my major hobby, so when not on EQ, my wife and I will currently play any of the following:

Neverwinter Nights
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II (Actually, just finished it last night)
Many other X-Box titles (Prince of Persia, The Simpson's Hit & Run, Knights of the Old Republic, etc.)

I got my wife hooked on Diablo II and we will be playing that after we watch one of our rented DVDs tonight (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Tomb Raider II, Fast & Furious II). We are going to go through the original Baldur's Gate series (BG1, Tales of the Sword Coast, BG2, Throne of Bhaal and the Icewind Dale series (IWD1, Heart of Winter and IWD2).

Other than that, exercise (when we remember to, doh!), socialize with friends and family, go to the movie theater (when something is deemed theater-worthy, i.e., Lord of the Rings), play cat wranglers with our 5 cats (3 of them classified as insane geriatrics), read novels (currently we are both on a huge Terry Pratchett kick), cartooning (when I feel creative), watch DYI shows on TV (there is something about watching other folks do manual labor that is quite relaxing... )

My real name converts to this Elven name - Finrod Elensar
my wife's name converts to Eldárwen Elensar
My board name converts to Gwindor (you have to put in a last name to get it to work, so I just used my real last name...)

I will help translate the notorious names:-) Vanyamar means the dwelling of the Vanyar. Taralom means(is it not Taralome?) the high night(a pretty funny last name to have!), and Saralonde I cannot figure out for I lost my dictionary a couple of weeks ago. My cousin stole it to learn it herself. londe means haven. Tel means last.

(When I am not playing EQ I am bombarded with elvish questions)

When not playing Eq I work. Oh wait, hobies? Oh heck. I'm sure I must have one/some...I have played some John Madden Football '04. I enjoy designing plays. Since my favorite team is the Chargers, I need really sweet plays to have any chance of winning with them. But my wife likes it better when I play Eq because we can do that together.

I also read exercise, camp, hike, walk the hound, who by the way reached the "unliftable" stage at about a year of age (great dane). She walks into the shower for "baths". She huddles in the corner and spreads out her ears horizontally like Yoda, and hangs her head down so her giant jowles nearly touch the floor. Then I take her out and dry her off as well as I can then when released from the bathroom I yell "release the hound!" and she runs around the house like a maniac for a few minuets. And then she settles and the licking begins. It's like she just got too clean and has to restore the accustomed level of grime to herself, and give back the oh so special odor.

My elf name is Elerossë Séregon. I assume the surname has something to do with trees?

I beat off.

That pretty much sums up my free time.
