Seriously Half Life 2's loading times feel like they take an eternity to complete. What do you guys do to pass the time?

Masturbate.

I mean it's either that or get up and go outside, throw a barbecue, fall in love and get married and have kids before I start the next level.

I wait generally. I mean they aren't long enough to do anything else.

Scratch my nose?

I don't know about some of the other people in this thread, but my computer doesn't run on coal.

Go to the kitchen, pick up something, eat it, take a short nap, go to university, graduate... okay, maybe not the last three.

Patiently wait and think about the ass I am inevitably going to kick...

Just half life 2?

You're not going to make a thread about any loading time?

Anyways, you want to talk about long loading screens, check out Metal Gear Solid 4, as if the long cutscenes weren't enough....0o

Just a tip: Change the thread to loading times in general. It has more discussion value.

OT: Not much. They really aren't that long.

Go to do something then sit down right away since they're done. Half life 2's loading times are fucking tiny, what drug are you on?

Play another game. seriously my pc is so crappy, it used to take a millenia to load, so I'd literally start up a game of Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries and finish an entire campaign mission on my sister's laptop in the space it took to load.

Go fight the numerous bears that wander the Canadian landscape. I usually get back before it's done too.

I've modified my copy with increased heapsize, forced precaching and preloading, and compressed textures through the console. Level loads rarely take more than a minute for me.

Take a deep breath and then continue playing. On my old PC I used to go to school or have a nap.

I learnt from back in my Morrowind days on a shit computer to have a book by the desk, something I could a few pages or chapters if necessary to pass the time.
