Sports?; Get out of the house much?

I know we're all a bunch of geeks, whether it's videogames or anime, or whatever, but does anyone here actually partake in any sports activities? Is there a sport you enjoy engaging in, or do you even play for a team at your school or college? I guess I use the term "sports" loosely here, because some people consider different things sports (like golf, which is...eeeeeh). Maybe I just mean some kind of physical activities in general, but yeah, you get the idea.

I myself enjoy a really good game of football (soccer). To me, it's a very engaging and vitalising sport, both physically and mentally. I'm generally a really good defender and goalie, so it also gives me a chance to study my opponents and see how they move from the back of the field. Football is a strong team oriented sport, you need plenty of synergy to be able to function as a good team, both offensively and defensively.

I also enjoy martial arts and used to practice Taekwondo when I was younger (I did some karate when I was in primary school, but it wasn't much).

So NB, what do you like to do when you're outside the house?

I'm a big fan of the martial arts, but unfrotunately, a full college scheduel leaves me little time or money to start taking classes.

I did wrestle when I was in high school. I was terrible at it, but still...

Actually, I hate Sports with a passion... well, just watching them.

I used to play Soccer in high school, we were like... the worst team ever and only won like 1 game a year, and we were actually proud of that. The thing I liked about it was kicking the shit out of the ball hard (even if it wasn't going in the right direction) and not having to run the whole time. And with the ball always being on the other side of the field, the great thing about being on the offensive is that I almost never had to keep running and tire myself out.

Learning to enjoy the sport is all about pacing yourself. If you spend too much time running when you don't have enough stamina, then you really shouldn't be in a forward position. Also, I think you guys might not have been as good because maybe you didn't have a good coach? At least you had fun, it's a really great sport to enjoy with friends.

Also, Cagey wrestling, I seriously did not see you doing that.

My coach had his own tv show on fitness, so he couldn't have been that bad. Our other coach was a black guy named Mr. White XD

Does Blood Bowl count as a sport?

But yeah, didn't really enjoy playing or watching that much. Because of my build my mother was often saying "YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING FOOTBALL(THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MONEY IS AT AND ALL I CARE ABOUT IS MONEY)" even though she full knew that I simply didn't enjoy the sport.

inb4 someone brings up LARP.

When I go outside (which is more often then people make it out to be), I love to take long walks to clear my head from the junk and let it flow with imagination.

Also, I'm a pretty fair bowler.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Bowling is always fun. I used to be on a team...but once again not the greatest at what I was doing.

These days it's cheaper and just as fun to replace bowling with wii bowling, though.

Bowling is way more fun IRL than playing Wii Sports.

Yeah sometimes, but it's a good substitute if you want to save some green.

Bowling, aw fuck, man.

I used to be pretty good at it when I was younger, considering how often we'd have school fieldtrips to the local alley. I would often be in the 190-220 range.

However, I broke my knuckle bones on someone's head in middleschool, and now I cannot bowl good anymore. :'C
