What do you do while you game?

[TOGSolid]

If I'm playing Eve, then it's Yo Dawg edition Eve due to my running two accounts at the same time.

Then I've got vent and TS going, plus my music, usually a movie is on at the same time, and just for shit's and giggles I might have Guity Gear XX: Accent Core going on my PS2 if nothing too crazy is going on in Eve.

And that's about as bad I get. If I'm playing a shooter then I'm pretty much just focused on the shooter.

 

[Mockingjay]

I sit on the radiator with a big bag of crisps (or chips depending where you are in the world) and scream at the TV.

 

[traceur_]

I kick back and I own.

 

[BattlePope]

Sometimes I start to realize that the game I'm playing isn't living up to the hype, then I start to play one of my staples that I never get tired of (no particular order here):
1. Donald Duck Starring in Quackshot for the Sega Genesis
2. Any one of the games in the PaRappa the Rapper franchise (especially Um Jammer Lammy)
3. Viewtiful Joe/anything from Studio Clover
4. Fable ONE
5. The Ico franchise
6. Final Fantasy 4
7. Anything by Suda Goichi (51)

AND half the time I start to fall asleep when I'm playing since I'm an insomniac and work at oddball hours of the afternoon until nighttime.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I drink green tea, other than that I have my headphones on and I'm totally immersed.

Except the sailing bits in the Wind Waker I roll and jerk around the floor and speak in tongues while those are going.

 

[captainwillies]

i fap while i game

 

[Cid Silverwing]

I jam to music whenever it's affordable.

 

[Soulgaunt]

I cannibalise while I game......

 

[Mykonos]

I browse the web while I grind on Pokemon. Does that count?

 

[Major_Sam]

Music sometimes. Sew, eat, The Escapist and swear in mulitple languages, including alien, while playing online.

 

[kennripper]

Depends on the game.

FPS - game focus with fast or driving metal in the background.
MMO - can sometimes read / do homework for monotonous tasks (PVP/Raiding see above)

 

[El Taco the Rogue]

Occasionally if its an average game, Ill turn the noise down and listen to ricky gervais audiobooks.
And if a games got awful music Ill turn ingame music down and replace it.

 

[herio]

do my own Unskippable for random cutseen's

 

[^onoomar^]

either on the phone with my friend and giving him advice for oblivion or drinking some random thing i mix with the drinks i have left in my fridge

 

[Boxpopper]

1. Play with my hair till it looks exponentially worse than when I sat down.
2. Ignore any random erections.

 

[Sketchy]

I'll generally have a movie or something on in the background, as my PC is right next to my Xbox and TV (but no actual TV on it). But if I'm playing 360 or PS3 I just play the game.

 

[Sr.Kanowti]

I read but only during the unbearable cut scenes

 

[bushwhacker2k]

I listen to music when people aren't talking, I get bored easily without music.

 

[DazZ.]

Depends on the game.

If im playing L4D no music, if its TF2 then low volume.

CoD4 is no music and smoke/talk shit with the server when I die. (only play SnD)

Do everything whilst playing WoW, from work to watching movies.

Weird one, imo, is I play Oblivion windowed and MSN, but Fallout 3 is fullscreen and im sucked in.

RTS I tend to have music on full, and anything new until im good at it will be played without musical numbers.
