Magic... I just pulled out the 20K cards I have. Time to Ebay those. Haven't played in far too long. I have from Tempest (and a few of the smaller sets prior to that) through to Urza's. It was about that time that the rules started changing up too much. My friends stopped playing, and well, you can't exactly play alone now can you!

As for WoW... LOL, I play that one

BC expansion was good, Wrath was a bit silly (too bad, good story line, and zones) Cata so far (world has been blown up) is looking really nice! Can't wait for tomorrow! Release day

Wow takes up most of mine and my wifes (yep, she plays) time. Living in a small apartment doesn't leave too much room for too many hobbies!

Very true my problem with wow was that I was in a high end raiding guild had all tier 3 epic gear full transcendence then bc came out and got better greens in my first 2 hours of playing than I had in my whole /played time

Moving from BC & knowing no one out here that played it is the reason I stopped. I have no idea what my total count of cards is anymore. I did have it all priced out at one time, but no idea where that database is anymore.

+1 on wow's stupid expansions. My wife and I used to play, then we had 2 kids and well... changing diapers took over raiding time.

So as for hobbies... fish tank, new house and 2 kids under 2 years old doesn't leave much time for other stuff. I do sneak time to play SC2 sometimes, but that's usually ended shortly by a screaming child.

I enjoy fishing, but i only got out 4 or 5 times this year, so i don't know if that qualifies a hobby anymore. I definitly enjoy it, standing by the river, drinking a beer on a nice summer day doesn't get much better.

too many to list, but here's some...

racing radio control cars, electric and gas, flying r/c planes and helicopters,
riding my harleys, 3 tanks, full reef, fowlr and turtle tank, casino ( spend way too much time an money there) and massages.. lol..

I don't partake in any hobby that is inexpensive.

The ones I do have aside from aquariums and my pond:

-motorcycles - more like an addiction
-woodworking
-downhill skiing - only an occasional pastime though
-gardening/lanscaping

Try floats, I've got my commercial licence and once you make a water landing on a river you'll never look at runways the same way again!

For other hobbies I hike, downhill ski, photography, sailing (saving up for a boat), kayaking. Our Border Collie is a child-substitute and lately the Total War series of Computer games take up a bunch of my time

Cheers

Ecxellent choice.

I used to fly with the Air Cadets. Had my private and glider licenses. Haven't flown in many years though, just couldn't afford it anymore; both in time and money. Life stuff got in the way. Now I'm so long out of date, I'd have to start all over. I've logged about a hundred hours on powered filight and over 500 glider flights. I'd like to get back into the gliding again someday; it's much more relaxing and peacful, yet at the same time more demanding of the pilot's skills to do it well.
