I would change the name of this post, there is a parallel post of this name in the other forum, and let's just say you don't want people to accidently post those messages in here :lol:

I was never one for physical sports, however I do hope to join the archery club in university, so we'll see how that goes ;)
(oh, FYI, i've never tried it, so I hope everyone manages to take cover when I fire! :lol: )

A programmer thats not a fan of physical sports, surely not :roll:

I use to play a bit of Soccer and Australian rules football very casually, I liked swimming but spent an annoying amount of time in the country so aren't the best at it.

Are drinking games included in "real games"...

Suba Diving and Rock Climbing. I've always been a fan of both. I'm night diving, deep sea diving, cave diving, and nitrox scuba certified.

As for watching, anything with lots of girls and bouncing boobs.

Throughout secondary school basketball was my drug and I was the captain of the team. However when I got a "real" job I stopped playing. I am seriously sucky at it now.

I used to train Muay Thai for about two years religously, but that sport is too addictive and not good for someone with such a bad temper as me. I gave it up for two reasons. My hernia was in need of repair and I kept wanting to leg kick every arsehole that pushed in front of me on the tube.

At the moment cycling is my personal favourite. Although I have not done any for a while due to my bike being a tiny bit damaged after I crashed it.

it's amazing how great minds think alike. ;)

As for sports, I've tried baseball, footerball, wrestling, and soccer, but my lack of coordination is astonishing. I managed to dislocate my knee while chasing the dogs around the house. (ouch, that fuggin' hurt.)

Golf

I find this sport to be extremely relaxing and fun to play either casually or competitively.

The correct answer:
A game where the mind and body are one together in a way so that when one thing happens the body reacts exactly as the mind thinks it.
