What kinds of hobbies do most of you enjoy?

Personally, I like games. Computer games (MMORPG, strategy, FPS, simulation), console games (RPG, action games, puzzle games), board games (complex/unusual ones, like "Tales of the Arabian Nights" or "Orcs at the Gates"), pencil/paper RPG (D&D), and card games. Sites like this one, books (generally about 50-60 per year - mostly rereads though), movies & TV fill out what little there is of the rest of my downtime.

 
Home A/V and drag racing occupy most of my free time. Yard work takes up most of the rest, though I really enjoy getting out to the shooting range when I get the chance.

 
Scuba when I get the time

Boating, wakeboarding, girls fastpitch softball with my daughter and boy scouts with my 2 boys...

Thanks, Road Guy.

My husband and I enjoy home construction/improvement projects. In the past, we did a lot of mission work (disaster relief) and will go back to that when home projects are done. I enjoy reading, too. Got a Kindle a couple of months ago and really like it.

 
Pen & Pencil, Battletech strategy board game, Settlers of Catan, Axis and Allies, some warhammer, Munchkin, Kobolds and one computer game, Civ 2

Have not seen Tales of the Arabian Nights or Orcs at the Gates. Please tell me you have not gone over to the dark side of D&D 4.

That's a great hobby!! Thanks!

Like MS, I've got a soon to be 2 year old and Mrs. Ble is getting ready to pop with mini-ble2 right now, so my hobbies focus around my family. Pretty much they are just hanging out at the pool with mini-ble, traveling whenever we can, and just spending time with the family.

 
Not getting blowed up....

Here in a few weeks it's going to be working around the house mostly since we moved in right before I left and haven't had a chance to do much yet.

 
I have an 18 month old kid. If I had any free time, I'd be sleeping.

I studied for the PE (passed) and I have a 2 year old, so one hour of tv and a little internet, and that's it. We go to the pool when we can.

I played Dungeons and Dragons Online for a while, then got too busy, and the game got too complex with guilds and crafting, so I haven't played much.

 
I like to ride bikes, ski, and a forced hobby of house chores. I also really like to cook, and occasionally homebrew.

Nope. Haven't touched it, aside from looking over a friend's copy. Far too MMORPG-like for my tastes. I don't even have much of a 3.5 collection, and barely more of a 3.0. Most of my stuff is from Second Edition. Of the three, 3.5 is probably my favorite - though in honesty I haven't played D&D in at least 8 months; I just don't have the time to try to write adventures/outlines for an epic series of adventures, coordinate with friends, and have it all fall through at the last minute like it did the last time I tried.

 
Homebrewing, and then drinking said homebrews.

I have a 2 year old, so my hobbies include playing Thomas, Lightning McQueen, Duplos, and watching Disney and PBS.

When I have enough fun money set aside, I am either getting a new Xbox 360 or a PS3.

 
Kayaking!!!!!!!!!!

Used to play softball but was thrown out of the team after a surgery. The team members were concerned about me dying on the field one day. Guess I was a distraction.
