    So when I'm not playing d2, I'm either working (Clinical Research Assistant) or in the gym. I used to skateboard a lot but being 27 doesn't help the old knees. I read a lot but I don't read conventional books. I read textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and nonfiction scientific discovery novels. A lot of my coworker's call me The Bodybuilding Biochemist.

    What do you all do in your free time?

    Listen to music, go on walks, babysitting, drive around with friends, and camping when I can.

    Since I love my job, it's almost like a hobby for me. I'm a dentist so don't hate me just because you're scared of dentists :)
    Next is motorcycling (both enduro and supersport), I own a few bikes: two of them being GSX-R 600 and 1000cc (obviosuly my Gix nickname comes from here as these bikes are known as Gixxers), one yamaha yzf 250 for enduro and a naked-streetfight kawasaki. I also like going to the gym and well that's a must since I'm into K1 for almost 8 years now and been doing pretty much all full contact sports ever since I was 6 years old.

    Also I love junk fast-food during my cheat meal or my cheat day depending if I'm bulking or on cutting. (maybe because I'm so damn strict with my diet, I get this opportunity like once a week or a month)

    Meeting with gamers that are members of our community is also a great experience for myself as well as getting new friends, hanging around and so on. Oh...and I love camping and nature as well especially if we're doing that on a touring bike.


    PS: I miss school, university and all of that.

    During spring to autumn i really enjoy MTB. Usually the single trails, im not that skilled or equiped for pure downhill biking. During summer, there is a lot of wakeboarding included aswell. And finally - winter - SNB if I have the chance to get to some Alps (dont care if its Austrian, Italian or French).

    But dont get me wrong, in all mentioned above Im just a casual, I still have kid to raise, wife to cherish and steady job, that has to be attanded on daily basis. :)

    I used to be into a lot of sports, but since having a kid and ofc a wife, I have to use my time sparingly.

    Over the last 2 years I have started running, last year I ran a little over 500km for my first year, this year I am already over 800km which was my goal for the year, on top of running 3 half marathons. (Lost about 15kg since running which is nice, never was big but just NOT healthy!)

    Besides that family / work takes up most of my time. But for gaming, besides D2 I have played online risk competitively for the last 8+ years with my brother which we kidna used as a way to still spend time together as we live across the world from each other due to my work... worked perfectly because we are both risk nerds. :ninja::p

    :ROFLMAO:

    In my free time I like to play US football whenever/wherever I can, I used to ride motorcycles (had a ZX-6R for a few years), go clubbing, travel, do crazy stuff like sky diving. I did some autocross time trials last summer in a rented Ferrari, that was so much fun.

    Mostly I am a game tester. I test two games at the moment.
    I play on several platforms of which I like Diablo2 the most. Having multiple interest and professions is my trade.
    Worked with many companies such as Sony, Ubisoft, Gameyus, Foxconn etc.
    Can brag about knowing to build anything that exists. I've survived 2 wars, and 1 big flood lol :/
    I've built houses and rebuild them with my hands. One of my main hobbies is following Electronic scene when it comes to
    Electronic music such as ( Techno, Tech-trance, Psytrance, Psychedelic, Progressive, Tribal, Dark Industrial techno,
    and some softcore stuff like |Tech-house, Vaporwave, Synthwave - i really like ).
    But I really listen to all Music except Domestic music that is popular among people who watch Tv and listen to radio. I can catch myself listening to Slayer, Pantera, and then changing to things like Dubfire, Maceo plex, even psy trance ( killer track Rinkadink - Hal9000 ; but its not for everyone. )
    I do get thrills from this music and I like music in general a lot.
    Been on many parties as Vj, Dj, and since 2004 just a party visitor.
    I like to work around poor people who need help, around ground that needs nursing , around plants that give use food
    Who am I outside of Realm.Well just another gamer that eats semi-healthy but tries above average.
    I've done even a Quake 3 tattoo. My interest are women, music, art, science, and games.
    One of my talents is Drawing and I try to play piano most of the time. I own a gym. I train at home.
    My hobby is def. gaming, listening to music so basically Multimedia guy Draws, paints, Listens ,and plays Video games.
    To be perfectly honest I don't like to train much cause people tend to test me and end up being hurt.
    I train kung fu, ping - pong , some gaming and I was playing one collective sport for my Country recently but not much time for travels and investing in sport that doesn't pay much.My dad is a professional driver but even he gets scared when driving with me. I know exactly depending on the curve and current acceleration and outside conditions when to break, shift down up ( all thanks to Formula 1 and Gradn Tursimo ) believe it or not.
    I am crazy about physics , mathematics, chemistry. These were my majors. Mostly my hobby would be reading research papers during the whole week.
    Research papers and innovations that all European and Asian scientists publish. If you were to click any of my social media, you will find Anarchy groups,
    you will find fighters for nature, and you shall find a lot of science and things you've never read about. Anyhow. My hobby used to be Growing plants and fruits as a kid with my grandpa. I like doing productive things. I am 31 years old and I look exactly like my Avatar picture shows. Anyway that's enough about me.
    In the end I like games and my hobby is currently Gaming. Was since I was 3. ( but I am a hiker, I climbed mountains, etc. ) Love adventures and I love danger.
    I like to play with dangerous people. To test their strength, but ultimate respect towards women, sport, family, and customs that each nation has. My current hobby is buying technology and testing Keyboards, Mice, etc ( tech related with Computers&Gaming ) Cheers to all who wrote I walk my dog, and I ride my bike, but my tie is flat. Yolooooo
