Anyone have any other hobbies or activities that they do when they aren't playing Aoe3? I didn't see another thread with this topic but not totally sure if there was or not.
I've been getting into rock climbing quite a bit this year, used to play a lot of music, and was in a bit of an art phase for alittle.

Im addicted to playing (classical) guitar. At least 1 hour every day, but often more than that.

I also used to play football but my knee got destroyed :(

Go is a wicked hobby.

I mostly use my vacations for working out and getting in-depth with subjects I chose away when opting for my Uni degree, such as the cold war (mostly because characters like Bresjnev, Andropov, Kosygin etc. are so fascinating).

also, the americans is a fascinating tv-series you should check out.

I have always liked chess but never really had anyone to play with. But show wise I really like House MD, alittle older but one of my favs. Also Blacklist and Forever are good. I like how you included whiskey 19 xD. Never really was able to tolerate the stock market much, I think its just kinda more calculated gambling personally, not that you cant make money from it but I prefer to have better chances.

Only the best strategy game ever invented! :o

The beauty of Go is how it manages to be the most strategically complex game in the world while having the simplest rules.

After my roommate started finding half-empty (although I would look at them as half-full) Whiskey-glasses with gladpack over them in our fridge, he told me it was not. He is usually right. I also feel the half-full gladpack Whiskey-glasses should be included in a yahoo-list entitled Ten signs youre roommate is becoming a functional alcoholic.
