What do you guys do during loading times?

[Oliver Pink]

That's the thing - it really depends How long the loading is.

In between Team Fortress levels I'm quite happy to go take a leak.

 

[Ganthrinor]

Open a beverage or kill an already opened beverage. Take a quick bathroom run if needed. I haven't run into any really horrendous loading times in years though.

Read A Page Of A Football Magazine.

I nearly always have the TV running simultanously so i just zapp around. ATM im watching the good ol classic A-Team series while playing the Cataclysm Beta Long griffon rides can be annoying too-

 

[dragdev]

listen to music occupies my time it use to take ages for Garry mod

 

[world_of_dragons]

... Depends on the game. The most recent example I can come up with is games like Borderlands or Mafia II where I read the tips and little bits they put up to help pass the time. When playing Borderlands I also tend to map out the bloody swatch of destruction I'm going to carve through the resident badguys ^_^

 

[Blue Musician]

I shut my eyes, just for not making them any redder while it loads.

 

[cahtush]

sit and wait, but haev you played the total war series? they have a quote on each loading screen

 

[Evilsanta]

Sit and wait? Or if the TV is on i zap around the channels a little.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

Get a drink, or a snack of some sorts. Most of the time I just sit there and wait it out.

 

[AngryBritishAce]

well my brain's too dead to care

 

[Foxtrotk72]

oh god that reminds me i cant get into Fair Fax gardens longest loading time and i cant get in really no joke or its just the game i don't know.
OT: grab a beer or play with my 2 dogs

 

[Outright Villainy]

The only game I've felt the need to distract myself during loading is metal gear solid 4. I usually make a cup of tea and stretch my legs or something.

 

[Cid Silverwing]

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.

Ninja'd, now I can't make a joke about it.

 

[Plazmatic]

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

nothing, because by the time I would think to get out of my chair, the loading would be over -_-?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I wait because they usually only take a few seconds... My computer is awesome.

 

[Jackhorse]

I place my cursor so it looks like its picking the nose of the person in the loading screen. I'm not the only one who does that right? Anyhow i'm easily entertained enough that its almost a dissapointment when whatever game i'm waiting for finally boots up.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Masturbate.

I was wondering how long it wuld take for someone to say that.

OT: Usually either stare at the screen or read something. Maybe an instruction manual or something on Gettysburg.
