 Posted: 07/20/03 - 20:42 Post subject: I need a hobby... or something.
Just like the topic says...
I work 8 hours a day, and my morning routine (including running) takes up about 2 hours. So it is not uncommon for me to just sit around for 4-6 hours a day doing absolutely nothing at all. It's not very enjoyable, and I wish I had something to do with my time. I play golf on my off days from work but don't have the time before work. A large chunk of my time is 10 am til 2 pm, so there is absolutely nothing to watch on television (I'm not a big fan anyway). What do YOU do in your spare time? Throw some ideas my way.

Have you ever played Empire Earth or Age of Empires? Those are pretty time consuming games.

That's what I'm trying to avoid 
Some of these are good ideas... fishing, um... akern's chores...
PH, I used to be a huge gaming geek. Age of Empires 1,2, and xpack for both. CS, Q3, SS 1 and 2, Deus Ex... I've played a lot. I'm trying to get away from that though. Right now I only play CS.
