Need help finding a hobby

[agentnnc]

I'm trying to find a hobby, something time consuming but inexpensive (unlike warhammer where one model can cost you 100$). I like things that I can work towards to admire the final product, working with my hands (although they aren't too steady). I have good hang eye coordination and I'd prefer something I can start/stop as I please (meaning I can do at home).

thanks

What about learning to program if your are interested in it?

I'm already self taught on drums, I've been playing since mid-january.

That sounds good, i'll look into it.


Basically, I'm looking for things to take away from time that I would normally spend playing video games, something that I can take into adulthood that won't ruin my social life like Halo/Gears/WoW

Work out at a local gym? Sarge with some friends at a place you hangout? Maybe take up a sport?

Take up building models. It's a lot of fun, provided you understand that you're first model will always look like crap.

I second that. Learning even basic stuff *will* pay back in the future. As long as you don't use something like Visual Basic.

Gardening. It doesn't matter what you grow, but I recently started and I'm addicted, it's so rewarding seeing your plants grow everyday and it's not too expensive depending on what you want to grow.

Bad as this sounds and maybe a little cliched, but i started some time ago buying damaged psps (the more damaged the better) and repairing them back to full working order.

Loads of satisfaction when you get them going again, and you can re-sell them to make some extra cash.

Learn a bit in the process about electronics etc, does not cost alot either if you do one at a time.

I take part in alternate history forums and research random stuff.

I'm starting to gather some philosophical and I'm gonna start work on Nu-Zen for a laugh.

You come to asn internet forum filled with nerds and people who devote themselves to fixing PCs and playing video games, to ask about getting a new hobby.

Bookmarked.

What's that got to do with it? Some of us have other hobbies too and recommended them (gardening, playing an instrument ect).

I just don't see the need in asking another person for hobbies. If I was into going and licking Penguin fur for a living, and put it in here, you're not going to be interested in. Hobbies are more personal than something that get recommended from someone else.

Some are, but thinks like model making, or learning an instrument are pretty universal.

Yeah, asking other people what they do for fun is crazy.

It's just a discussion - Why not use it if it is there?
