What do you guys do during loading times?

[Mistermixmaster]

I attempt to read the loading-time hints and tips most games nowadays give you. I rarely succeed because they're gone so god-darn fast.

As for loading times in Half-Life 2 I wouldn't know. I have a copy of it laying around somewhere, unopened and uninstalled... I dunno why, but I just haven't really had an interrest in playing it that much.

*Raises Flame-shield just in case*

I usually turn and look at my laptop as my desktop is loading.
...
DON'T JUDGE MEEEE!

Light a fag

 

[Elurindel]

Fap.

Wait.. no...Yeah, fap!

What do you mean ive never played halflife 2?

Has that ever stopped me before?

Fap.

Either that, or go to the bathroom. Though the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

When I play TF2 it always stops for about 3 mins at Loading Resources or something like that.
When it does that, I go upstairs and make me some chocolate milk and enjoy it while waiting.

I never have long loading times, I guess my PC is pretty good.

Sometimes I read a magazine, I always keep Total Film or Rolling Stone near my PC.

 

[Engarde]

I have a book of some kind on my desk. I read it. Funny, that.

Scratch my nose?

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

I'm lucky if i have time to adjust myself in my seat.

Tho I love the idea of shoveling coal into a furnace to increase load times and well just run a computer.

Most games I don't have a problem with loading times. They're just not that long these days. The only two exceptions I can think of at the moment are Team Fortress 2 and The Witcher. With TF2, usually it invovles waiting for a free slot on my favorite server, then waiting for it to load, so I usually just go outside for a smoke, then come in a read a few pages of whatever book I'm reading at the time. With The Witcher, even with all the patches, some places can still take a minute to load, so I just read then as well, or so get something to drink, or a snack.

What loading screens do you have that last longer than 10 seconds?

Masturbate.

I do this as well.

Quoted because I do this too...

I also : Watch TV, check up here, the usual..

 

[ethaninja]

Heh, I play airpiano on my desk to a song I know like the back of my hand. Usually by the time I've finished the verse, the load has finished.

 

[jamescorck]

I read a book. I have finished one book while waiting for loading times to finish.

Halo: Custom Edition on my PC

Whats Halo: Custom edition?

Taken from a Wiki
Halo Custom Edition is a free expansion that has the ability to load and play user-created content and maps created with the Halo Editing Kit (HEK).

 

[latenightapplepie]

Sometimes I change the channel to the television for a moment. Other times I turn to my laptop and post something here. Mostly though, I simply wait.

 

[YouShouldDeleteThisAccount]

Give the loading bar an evil stare as if it had murdered my family.

They know what they did...

 

[coldshadow]

I havent had to wait for long load times in a while now, other that mass effect 2, but thats one game and its only about 30 seconds I think.

LISTEN TO MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, I listen to music. as soon as it's finished loading I tab down and turn the music off. =P
