How do you grind?

I just put on some sweet music [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XLgpReEkLc] and get to it. Better to get it over with as soon as possible.

Grinding is no sweat for me. Most of the more grind heavy RPGS can be quite enjoyable once you wrap your head around the combat system.

Still, rigging your controller or keyboard to do it for you is one way. Ah, Oblivion.
Endlessly exploitable, mildly enjoyable.

I don't play games where the grinding isn't fun.

But I do, however, play a certain MMORPG that has zero grind...

And what would this certain MMO be?

This one. [http://drift.ijji.com]

Interesting... I'm ever-so-slightly intruiged despite my not liking racing games too much.

The cool thing about it is that you don't actually HAVE to participate in races, you can just drive around the city doing odd jobs for people.
There is one grind-ish optional aspect, where you patrol massive areas of the city, and basically a bunch of rings pop up and you have to drive over them. Each one gives you 1 exp point, so it's next to useless.

That sounds like it'd be the worst kind of grinding... The rest seems interesting, though. I may just have to check it out one day.

Yeah, I bypass it by activating the challenge, then going around doing whatever and I get a tiny bit of exp on the side wherever I go without deliberately going there.

Well, I line my board with the rail and then... you're not talking about this are you?

Damn, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title for this thread. [sub]I miss playing Tony Hawk.[/sub]

Whenever I play a game that involves the other grinding, I just..kill things and collect the experience points needed to level up. Simple, really.

I hate grinding, so I avoid it wherever possible.

Ahh, I can understand that hatred for MMO style grinding. I've been able to avoid most of that since the only MMO I ever really got into had an early level cap and didn't really require much level grinding.

I actually know what you mean; countless times I've started talking to myself, projecting my voice into random objects, items, or enemies within games while grinding. Insanity can be a wonderful asset.
