The Glade 4.0

I'd like to add camping, fishing and hunting to my list, but to be honest..it's been years since I've done any of those things, sadly.

Cooking
Hiking. Lots and lots of hiking (do 8-10 miles four times a week for my job, and whatever else I find weather and time permitting).
Camping
Gaming, of course
Reading
Exercising
Dating. Maybe eventually I'll come across someone who will move it out of the hobby category, but women in Utah are so fickle.
Any other outdoorsy things I can pick up.
Longboarding, SCUBA, painting and skydiving are on my to do list.

*edit*
Not sure how I forgot these but
Piano
Guitar
Singing

My hobbies (or things I enjoy doing, just not always on a regular basis)...

Cooking
Camping (haven't done it in many years, unfortunately...could go if I wanted to go alone, just not as much fun )
Fishing
Gardening
Reading (used to be an avid reader, haven't read anything new in a few years...I need to pick up a good book again!)
Crocheting, Cross-stitch
Gaming (I've played Nintendo with my son when he was younger, EQ, EQ2, Vanguard, and now I've been sucked into Evony by a dear friend!)

I used to do some scrollsawing/decorative painting type things for (minimum) profit but health/other issues got in the way and I never went back. I really should someday...I enjoyed it a lot!

Honestly, I'm a dabbler. I don't think I've ever really stuck with a hobby consistently for any length of time, but I do come back to certain things:

AD&D, and a lot of wargaming in general when I was a kid. Still play D&D once or twice a year.
Painting miniatures, although I haven't done that in quite a while. Still have some paint and a box of bare metal miniatures.
Bicycling - probably the one constant in my life, although the only cycling I've done recently has been commuting. Kinda doesn't strike me as a hobby.
Camping, hiking, fishing. When I lived in a climate with, you know, actual lakes and bodies of water, I fished pretty regularly. Living in SoCal ... no so much. Driving an hour to get to a fishing spot at 4:30 in the morning just puts a whole damper on the process. I'd probably go camping every weekend if I could (probably going tomorrow, in fact).
Stick-fighting, although I don't have the physical build for it. I started fighting in SCA (the days of carpet-armor!) in high school, moved, picked it up again in college, moved, started doing foam-weapon LARPing, moved, got back into SCA again, then moved and petered out on it. Took a year of fencing in college, would like to get back into it.
History of most sorts, especially military.
Travel, from 2-week family vacations to driving around aimlessly on backroads to see what I can discover.
Baseball
Gardening
Collecting Good lord, the collections I have: Matches, my grandma's stamps, rocks and fossils of all sorts, comic books, baseball (and other) cards, regimental badges, postcards, old photos (I guess photography is something of a hobby for me, come to think of it; I have the first pictures I took as a kid back in the 60s).

I have a feeling I'm forgetting a bunch of things, but, that's all for now.

Lots of interesting hobbies, seems like I am the only Car/Model geek.

I like Poker as well but didn't think of it as a hobby, more of a long standing way to lose money...

I used to play Pen and Paper D&D but haven't for years now and I got rid of all the books. I still have the figures somewhere though. I still have a bunch of Battletech figures in a drawer at work.

Cooking is fun to too, I like smoking stuff.

We are going to try out Alton Browns Planter smoker this weekend on some brisket or a pork butt.

I used to do modelling (planes, submarines, and Star Wars ships for me, though -- I think I had an aircraft carrier I never quite finished). Post-college, however, that interest has mostly found an outlet in my wargaming.

What kind of War Gaming?
PC or Board?

I recently discovered the old Combat Mission games, you get them super cheap from the makers now, like 15 bucks each.
You can find them here, http://www.battlefront.com/

Great little tactical Tank/Infantry games.

My interest in tabletop wargaming stems from some older computer games I used to play (X-COM and Gettysburg!, notably) and my dissatisfaction in the tactical turn based strategy game as a lost genre in the video gaming world. Predominantly Warhammer 40k, though DFK! and I have made some overtures towards dabbling in Spartan Games' Firestorm Armada and if I can find some players locally, I'm intrigued by Spartan's older but similar system, Uncharted Seas.

I'll check those out, though, thanks for the link.

Well if you like turn based tactical your going to love the Combat missions games.

I Agree with you it sucks turn based tactical is all but dead. It was my favorite genre. I loved X-Com, also the jagged alliance series was fun and somewhat similar to X-com but with Mercs on.

The games I always went back to where the old SSI Steel Panthers games. They ran up to Vista. Some other Companies have picked up the code and produced modern version the games that work in later versions of windows but are the exact turn based games with many improvements.

Matrix games does one, the other is by Camo workshop. Matrix I dont think does a modern version. The one from Camo comes in Modern and WW2 versions.

The matrix one is more polished and looks better, but the Computer player isn't very good. Camos has decent IA, but looks a little crappy.

Both offer free downloads.

One really cool aspect of these old games is they come with editors so you can play with custom units and maps.

Now the Combat missions games are very cool, in a turn based way, but its turn based in that both sides plan a one minute turn giving orders to units, and then you hit go and watch your units do what you told them for a minute.

There are three versions and each one is improved.

The first is Overlord and it covers D-Day to the end of the war, US and Brits V Germans. They have a ton of units and its pretty fun, but the units sometimes do dumb things. It includes the M-26 Pershing on the US side for the late late war, and all the big German stuff.

The nest was Barbarossa to Berlin, Germans V Russians start to finish. It also includes some US and Brit armor that the Russians used that we sent over as lend lease. Mainly M4A2 Sherman's and M3s Lees.

The final version was Africa Corps, US and Brits V Germans and Italians up to the end of the war so desert to Mountains. The is the best version as far as the game mechanics go.

Really fun games if you like Squad level tactical.
