Wargaming (in particular scifi)
This one is a work in progress model from the Infinity range
, not very good but fun to paint and lots of space to improve.
Role-playing games, costume building, SCIENCE! (though that's more of a future job/education) and watching terrible movies :D.

I love to play online games most the time but have recently cut back on them.
On FB; FrontierVille and Gourmet Ranch and a little bit of MafiaWars(though use to play CafeWorld, FarmVille, MyZoo)
Others: Caesary on LeKool and .net sites, Crimson Moon, Torn City, and Tales of Pirates2 are the only ones I play now kinda sorta.
I like to read sci-fi, murder mystery type books, but recently with my aging eyes, don't read as much lol
I enjoy Japanese Horror movies, so much better than the American remakes.
Oh and can't forget chatting and smoking on cam with friends lol
But mostly just smoke my cigars and pipes as much as I can :D

I just read back through this thread and I can't believe I missed this chance to brag about myself.
Professionally, I'm a white hat hacker specializing in database reporting systems. Recreationally, I just freaking love the internet. I'm also a first degree black belt in Choi Kwang Do.
I'm also:
a published author and photographer
an artist
crochet
love music
collect and refinish antiques - mainly Iris & Herringbone depression glass
Above all, though, I'm an avowed and unrepentant bibliophile. If I ran out of room in the house and had to get rid of either the kids or the books, I would have a damn hard time choosing. I normally read a novel (sometimes 2) a day. Every room in the house looks like this:

Reading (mainly western philosophical works), writing, tattoo art, creating and solving complex math problems (logic and propositional calculus in particular), HI-FI audio, and technology in general.
I've been playing video games since I was seven, and I haven’t stopped. Maybe it's because I found comfort in them when the parents and sister were fighting. But either way, video games have devolved me into the fine fellow I am today.
I played League in a game called Day of Defeat: Source. For those who are not familiar, league play means that each team has rosters and games that you have to be on to play. I spent many a late nights waiting for a European team to get up so that we can play.
But recently, I've taken to playing a game called Hearts of Iron III. The game starts in the year 1936, and you can guide any nation at the time through World War II. That said, history tends to go off kilter and makes playing this game all the more enjoyable. I’ve had games where America invaded South America for supporting the Axis. I’ve had games where Japan supports the American War effort against the Soviet Union, and I’ve had games where Germany spends the whole time being extra friendly to everyone. The game makes you think, because you have to balance a focus on production, research, diplomacy, politics and espionage.
Of course, my world isn't utterly focused on video games. I love reading. Maybe it's because I'm trying to catch up with everyone, due to the fact that I could not read till I was 8. I'll read most anything, though I'd rather read up on history, philosophy, military tactics, Russian fiction, and anything that catches my fancy. And yes, I did say Russian fiction. Leo Tolstoy, writer of 'War and Peace', is an all time favorite. That said, I prefer 'Воскресение' or 'Resurrection.'
I also enjoy just being a nerd and messing with computers.
