Have you ever done something in a videogame and tried it in real life? I always chose Archers or bow users in vidya so I tried it in real life and I liked it a lot. Anyone else do something similar?
Hobbies you gained from videogames
Motorcycles in San Andreas. Now I own one.
lockpicking because i found it fun im skyrim
Both are cool
Went to a strip club in GTA
It's pretty awkward in reality
The cooking quest you do in OSRS made me take up cooking
Yeah , its not as glamorous as in the games , if you go with friends its a little better
Ever since I saw Steve Fox in Tekken 4 I wanted to learn boxing, but I never had the chance
Starting flipping butterfly knives because of team fortress 2
I started catching monkeys with nets thanks to ape escape
So you work for an inner city police department is what you are saying?
thanks to animal crossing I got into horticulture. I now have quite a bit of plants at my home, and Im hoping to learn more about botany in general in the future.
There is a lot of things I'd like to try because of vidya but the social retard part of me stops me from actually doing it. But I did start archery and am pretty decent at it.
detroit animal control
I got into boxing because of Metal Gear Solid.
Thanks to Smash bros, more specifically Little Mac, I took up boxing. In an ironic twist it has also killed 99% of my vidya playing time.
I really liked the soundtrack for Bastion so I started playing folk guitar
I'm really good now so that's neat
did he die
Guns
yes , he ded
I learned mahjong because of Yakuza
I also played Black Jack in a casino because of it and won 50$
I was a military contractor thanks to Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction on PS2. Turns out 99% of your work is protecting figureheads from shitholes to make sure the US's hard work wasn't for nothing and terrorists don't immediately take over as soon as they leave.
thats good
I started playing video games in real life because of the arcade machine in DK64
I went to a strip club irl and ate a 90lb asian strippers butthole in the champagne room, while she jerked me off.
Not sure what I was expecting but when she pulled her thong to the side and sat on my face I just kind of went with it.
I went camping and fishing for the first time ever last year because of rdr2
But you are the terrorists
guns nigga
how do i do this? i work security right now. im willing to shoot anyone if they pay me good
Nobody cares you little faggot. If I could get paid to legally massacre you and your shitty family I would do that instead.
Strip clubs are only fun with friends for the banter and even then it's a waste of good money. I can't imagine going to one alone.
based
I know
sometimes being a terrorist is a good thing user
>as a kid
>get into a fight
>use move i learned from videogame
>its effective
>decide to do martial arts
>break toe
>cry like a bitch
>decide to quit and never return
>too ashamed to accept calls from teacher.
i miss being a retarded 12yo
Yes Mr Schlomoberg, I wont speak out again sir
Very cool and not cringe
I would massacre your mom's butthole if you weren't already doing it
based
holy based and merc pilled, a man after my own heart
literally just google military contracting. cops, security, military are all good backgrounds for it
i liked killing minorities in GTA so i became a cop
Skateboarding
Had an interest in it since I was a kid but never had a serious thought about actually trying it until a few months ago. Playing though Skate 3 made me get my first deck.
I fish and fly drones for fun.
I've learned and tried a LOT of swordfighting things in real life matches. Not to death obviously, but with sword type blunt weapons. Not fencing fuck fencing.
Surprisingly, a LOT of stuff really does work. I attribute it to the average person having no clue how to swordfight, meaning my tiny amount of knowledge from vidya is still greater than theirs.
Archery is a useless skill unless you're tring to pick up teenage girls who read Hunger Games.
Good thing you'll statistically kill yourself. You're not tough. You're literally a tool. Probably not even a good one. Don't act tough.
Yes , but its a hobby ....you know things you do outside of work
People should be taking hobbies that improve them instead of useless "for fun" stuff. Yes, that includes video games. Yes, video games were a mistake and 100% of Zig Forums posters lives would've been better had they never touched a controller.
t. faggot
Uh kinda based
this
My buddy in college was convinced he was a martial arts master because he had studied all the moves in tekken, and the only way to get him to shut up about it was to slap box him into submission until it just turned into a fighting tournament in the living room.
Then he unironically turned into a schizo and got himself arrested because he broke into someone's house because he saw a demon in there and I fondly remember those times goofing off and talking shit.
since i started playing videogames, playing videogames became a big hobby of mine

The first and only based ampharos post in the history of Zig Forums
then why are you even here ?
I really liked metal slug so i joined the army, or more like i gleefully went into conscription as opposed to the others that went in kicking and screaming.
nah dude. Really not. How's the gov issued PTSD and drinking problem though?
Its bad news man. Basically just drink as hard+cheaply as you can while looking on.
Don't ever do it.
and what sort of things YOU do, tough guy?
I got into sex from playing adult games and now I do it all the time
Tell me what you think happens when the only net tax paying and the most heavily armed faction of a civilization believes they have been disenfranchised?
I got into programming due to wanting to be a game developer. Thankfully, I quickly grew out of that and I'm currently working as a backend dev.
I joined a fencing club because I really enjoyed swordfighting in vidya. Im pretty good at it now, its a lot of fun.

Always use helment, user.

Watching the settlers in Assassins Creed 3 do their thing really got me interested in colonial life. Started woodworking because of it and learning more about colonial life.

Cry about it on twitter because none have the guts to do anything?
>n-next time we boogaloo for sure
Whatever dude. You had your chance to start Civil War 2 with this election and you blew it.
>not Boaromir

no its not any and all weapons skills are good if society ever collapses. imagine being a nigger trying to rob a white mans house and getting a steel tipped arrow right in the chest
this bait never gets old
nah i'm not a fag
nobody wears a helmet while skating streets anyways
how expensive of a hobby is it? im thinking of getting into a nice physical hobby after i get my car license in 15 days
Thanks to sol badguy and jhonny from gg I started exercising
Imagine using a fucking bow to defend yourself instead of a gun? My money is on the nigger in that instance.
