What did you do before you got into cubing?

 

[4Chan]

I used to read copious amounts of books and was the captain of my high school reading team.

Edit: I would also play Runescape for stretches of 12 hours+
My record is 26 hours straight.

 

[teller]

Burnout Paradise! Before that, I played a lot of online poker.

 

[Anthony]

My record is 26 hours straight.

Wow. No wonder you can put so much time into learning ZB.

 

[Ranzha]

I wrote fanfics with a friend and watched Pokémon like there was no tomorrow.

 

[IamWEB]

The same things I do now, except less for some of them.

 

[CL_Pepsi]

Call of duty WaW, I'd still play it but got 1 red ring and so i can't play now : (. I was also into to magic, like as in magic tricks.
Edit: Also a pyro I still got potassium nitrate and sulphur for black powder.

[V-te]

Umm.... I didn't have a hobbie. I used to play Flight Simulator a lot... It was fun, but it got boring. I need to play it again.

 

[LNZ]

Lots and lots of original internet (and backed by real library) research into subject matter that I like. And watching DVD's and CD's too.

 

[Rawn]

I played lots of "Age of Mythology."

 

[Carrot]

[RainbowBoy]

I had a weird hobby of doing YoYo tricks and impressing peoples.

Games for life!

 

[Tim Major]

Um.... sport non-stop? Name a sport and I play it. Even an American sport.

 

[Thomas09]

Crap loads of gaming (which I still do). I could play like 8 hours straight (I know, Cubes=Life owns me, but I could do it on average). I usually play RPGs and platformers and some shooters, like Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter. Alot of it involved quick time reaction on the buttons, no I guess I already had fast moving fingers.

 

[Innocence]

I happened to have a life. I still do actually, I just flood my limited spare time with less computer gaming and more cubing...

 

[fariq]

Let's see, um.....

Games and computer stuff, then a bit of basketball, some soccer and plenty and plenty of Rugby practice and playing. Rugby!!!! Don't play much Rugby now. School team not active this year.

 

[Ness]

juggling, yoyo, diabolo, dice stacking actually I like all the stuff that's not very popular
I'm still doing these things.. ah. not to forget table-tennis
And I was really into computer games for while.. doing nothing else but gaming.. well, nice that this lies behind me..

[Escher]

Fire poi People who have me on facebook will know what it looks like.
I still play classical + electric guitar a lot, and I read lots of non-fiction (Gödel Escher Bach ftw).
