I make [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1251238]PAC3[/url] outfits in Garry's Mod, sometimes modeling stuff myself for them.

To me it is another medium of art and an excuse for me to learn modeling and texture work. It's excelled my artistic abilities and has allowed my creativity to flow. And it's a wonderful time killer and keeps me busy-- On average, modeling work, texture work, sound work, particle work, putting every part together in the right place and then fleshing out the movement effects and attacks takes me a good solid half a day or longer depending on what it is.
It is more than just making computer generated sculptures. You bring them to life with this. You make them move, you make them work, you make them have more beauty than just standing around in a T-Pose or being tossed around like a ragdoll or being unfunctional as a regular playermodel with no special features to make them unique from just being a default playermodel.
Imagine if you created a character and wanted to play as them, and you have the modeling skills to make them 3D, but no programming skills to make a game to play as them in. With this, you can do that without any programming knowledge of any sort.
Of course, I do more than just Megaman related things, I've made countless characters from my own mind and some other video game characters. But I have at least 100+ outfits amassed over 3 years of making outfits, and I don't think anyone would appreciate me posting all of them. :v:
In short if you don't feel like reading all this: I make things in Garry's Mod.
Learn to program or learn a language
Play music, guitars are cheaper than ever to just buy and it's an incredibly constructive hobby.
Plus it's so nice to be able to zone out and just focus on the notes if you're stressed/depressed and when you finally knock out that tune after hours of learning it, it's an amazing feeling.
Play an instrument
Play video games (I havent been doing much of this lately though, since I have exams dont want to get to attached to a game)
Read a book (I have been reading the Sharpe series lately, its nice and relaxes my mind)
Listen to music
Me and my friends go out a lot, so when im bored I usually ask some friends and we go out and do whatever, play football or just explore around the town.
If I don't have internet access, I usually just sit down with a good book, or stargaze if there's anything good visible that night.
I've read everything that's interesting in my house...
I might as well start coding on paper

What about [I]on[/I] friends?
Now that I've started a fairly tight schedule for my YouTube channel, I'm rarely bored. Almost always editing videos in my free-time.
Crash into slumber
[QUOTE=Zakkin;44720882]I animate with Pivot.

Whoo! It's a fun hobby to have and, although it's tough to get good at, when you get there it's all so worth it.[/QUOTE]
Even though I animate VERY rarely, I do recommend it to anyone.
Masturbate furiously
stalk and harass ex-girlfriends and see how far i can push current friends before they get sick of my bullshit and drop contact with me
I play terrible and mediocre videogames just for the heck of it
I play Final Fantasy IX to both past the time and to cast away boredom.
find something you want to learn. It can be a language, sport, some computer program. this keeps me occupied most of the time.
