Inq Eisenhorn Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Ok peeps I was wondering how many people here have alternative hobbies to airsoft, and if so what are they and what comes first?? The reason I ask, is becuase most of my interest and hobbies seem to gravitate around a common theme....battle.....do I need psychiatric help, probably....but this is my last ditch attempt to see if I conform to "society" norms...or if indeed I am a freak! Ok to get the ball rolling here are my other interests / hobbies in order of importance: Chinese Martial arts and Meditation. Games Worshop miniature painting / wargaming AIRSOFT!! Mountainbiking. Travelling. Ok, your turn!!! Link to post Share on other sites

rhino Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I have loads of hobbies. Just lack the cash to shell out in them all... Link to post Share on other sites
Carrion Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 to begin with from the ops initial post i have to just say thats kinda emo thinking that you must conform to some sort of "norm" mindset in the persuit of your own happiness and recreation. as long as a hobby is legal and consenting then whislst there will always be nay sayers its ultimatly up to you waht you spend your time and money on. the sooner people can realise that your own hapiness comes from being you, not some sort of mindless clone of those around you the sooner you will be happy. onto topic which tbh should realy be in either a newbie or of topic place but still for me its scuba diving first and foremost then airsoft then oddly work as i am one of those gits who is lucky enough to have a job which i find rewarding.

dismemberd Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 hmm... 1) Airsoft 2) Video Games 3) Cars Something like that, and no, I dont think you are crazy. IMHO, pretty much everyone needs psychiatric(or at least a whole lot of people). Also, different people have different interests, just because your's have to do with war/battles, doesn't mean they are wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

The Gopher Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Firearms Airsoft Cars (specifically older BMWs and NOTHING else, well, Subaru WRX STis) Gaming: mostly stopped. rarely play. Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Airsoft. This is my primary hobby, the numero uno moneydrain. Computer gaming (mostly it just turns into surfing internet forums these days). This was my first "hobby", starting with the old C&C Red Alert. I just listed this as a second hobby because I spend a lot of time infornt of my PC, filling in the time not spent on other hobbies. Games Workshop miniatures and wargaming. This was my primary hobby for a long time, untill I discovered airsoft. I did skip a game of airsoft today to go to the Apocalypse release game though RPG's. I often join my friends playing this, and have also GM'd some short campaigns with my room mates in the army. Link to post Share on other sites
