Everyone has hobbies. Some people play sports. Some people customize their trucks and cars to make them look more tacky. Some people drink copious amounts of booze.
I would say I like to draw comics, but that’s not a hobby, that’s a passion. It’s something I want to do for a living.
My geeky hobbies consist of; Video games. I love playing games. Right now I’m slowly working on Mass Effect 2. I also LOVE me some Modern Warfare 2. I have my pink DS and sometimes I play Pokemon Pearl or Mario. I usually only bring out the DS on road trips though.
I love playing World of Warcraft. I have had a long history of WoW and there have been some very good times and some bad, bad times. I’ve met a lot of great people in WoW. I’ve also met a lot of jerks and idiots. I really would like to go further into my history with WoW, but that would be best suited for another post.
My other hobbies, recent hobbies, in fact have been Dungeons and Dragons. D&D is like the epitome of geek hobbies. I’ve always wanted to play, but never did. Now I’m DM’ing a game with a buddy, in the hopes to expand with some other friends. It’s fun!
Toy collecting is another geek hobby that i’m into. I usually stick to things from my childhood, IE Transformers and GI Joes but there’s been a few oddities slip past that are just cool. Like Kamen Riders and Gundam Kits. I’m always impressed with the modern engineering and detail they can put into some bits of plastic.
Everyone has their own thing and that’s cool. What’s yours? If ya read this, comment or send a reply to me on twitter and let me know what your geeky hobby is!
