Fun hobbies?

Alright, straight to the point.

Since High School I've pretty much only kept two real friends and a couple people that I sometimes hang out with. Out "hobbies" have been getting a tad bit redundant.

Pretty much the only things we do are play basketball, darts, tennis, catch, hiking, bowling, airsoft, go to dennys, ihop, or peruse Walmart if we're reeeally bored and everything else is closed. If we're not outside being bored we're inside being bored while gaming.

There doesn't seem to be much else to do that isn't expensive. Entertainment parks and kayaking is fun but too much money to do on a regular basis.

There's a ton of stuff I'd love to get into but it's too much money plus even if I could afford it I couldn't expect everyone else to follow.

My question is... what is there to do that's fun and could be done with a small group of less than 5 people?

Good question, I bet you get a lot of good responses. I have two suggestions I can think of atm, I can probably think of more later on.

You can start playing Dungeons & Dragons or another D20 rollplaying game. You might even make new friends playing it too.

Also hiking and camping can be real fun. Camping can start to cost money but you can start out inexpensive and build up. Or just drive around to cool places and go for day hikes. They can be real fun, and you find really cool scenic places.

i recently started drinking but its expensive and not the best thing to do all the time...
i don't recommend it.


the main thing i've been doing is doing halo 3 online.

i actually don't know what else there is to do so i would be interested in seeing what pops up.

Drinking is alright but like you said it's expensive. Also, I'm trying to get into shape for the military so I have to stay away from the beer. I lost my ability to drink hard alcohol somewhere along the line so without something to mix it with or a crowd to pump me up, it's a no go lol.

I laughed out loud when I saw D&D and we already hike pretty often. At least we have another hour of daylight now so it doesn't get dark soon after work and such.

ya i pretty much hate beer so stick with straight vodka until i get drunk then i drink beer. usually half a bottle of vodka does me nicely until i get to the bar.

maybe start a semi serious computer repair/building hobby, try your hand at overclocking?

Small start-up cost but geocaching.com would go well with your hiking activities

I like getting together and playing board games with my friends. Make a little event out of it, food, snacks, drinks, a little music, etc. and its pretty fun with the right group of people.

I second the role-playing, though if you laughed out loud it may not be for you.

modding?

This is a hobby that can become expensive, but can also be really cheap if you find enough scrap to use. Also, it can take a very long time to complete, so the cost is spread out. Either way it ends up in long weekends working in a shop with your buds.
