I need to waste a week, fast!

[Syphous]

I'm sure plenty of people have been in this same situation.

One week until the midnight release of that game you really REALLY want. The excitement is almost too much to bare! Possibly going clinically insane! What do you do to make the week go by faster?


(Red Dead Redemption May 18th)

I stop thinking about it. Then it's not taunting you.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Red Bull, mindless chores, killing time on this website and lots of addictive games.


Worked for me!

 

[Armored Prayer]

I always try to have fun in any way.

They say it makes time pass by faster.

Why do you get it so early?

 

[Flamingpenguin]

Try tvtropes.org. The week will be up and you won't even know it.
And webcomics help too. Might I suggest MS Paint Adventures, specifically Problem Sleuth?

Or go on the Wiki of your favourite game/film/book series.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah that sucks.

I would need to be in some sort of chemically induced coma. Haha..ha..hmm

Tvtropes
choose a (good) manga from onemanga.com and read it till the end or latest chapter
finish those games you never finished before
learn all the possible (& impossible) back stories of your favorite (or not) games
buy/play TF2
learn to speak a language you always wanted to speak
cure cancer

any combination of the above should get you going for the week.

cheers!

 

[Gigaguy64]

Try TvTropes.

I spent days lost in the Metroid pages.

I have exactly the same problem, and I can't stop myself looking up more information on RDRedemption.

Although I do play A LOT of Forza Motorsport 3, and the most epic dlc is released tomorrow, so I can distract myself with that until Red Dead.

 

[Korten12]

buy Lost Planet 2 tomarrow.

 

[oppp7]

Go into a coma for a few days. That'll do it.

Get a job. Then cry whenever you remember those times when you had a week to waste. Then realize you're miserable, quit your job and become a freelance game critic. Then realize it doesn't pay and you're broke. You might think I'm going somewhere with this, but I'm really not.

OT: Don't know your interests, but if you're looking for something informational and interesting, try ted.com, fora.tv, alternet.org, thelastpsychiatrist.com or ramblingfool.com. For humour, there's always cracked, collegehumour, Penny Arcade, xkcd, drmcninja, daisyowl, nedroid and probablybadnews.com. For celebrity gibberish, there's wwtdd (What Would Tyler Durden Do?), thefrisky.org and gofugyourself.celebuzz.com. I think that should keep you busy for a week. The internet, man: it has fucking everything.

EDIT: Hell and damnation! I forgot wondermark.com in the humour section. Flogging will commence.

Buy Mass Effect 2, play it for a week, buy RDR.
Problem solved!
