What Do People Do?

[Player 2]

Maybe read some xkcd [http://xkcd.com/] or bug some strangers on http://www.omegle.com/

 

[Rascarin]

Think of a project you can do.

My current project is incubating a duck egg in my bra.

I play flash games.

Those two, plus the escapist makes up my time on the internet.

I'm in a similar fix. I just chat to people, or experiment with writing, to see if I can strike an amazing idea one day. I need new games, as do you, I thinks.

Pretty much the same for me.

By that, do you mean the needing new games, or the writing part?

The Chive is fantastic for when I'm bored.

Hey! This is awesome! Thanks.

I hate this. It's called (informally) Dorito Syndrome.

Both, I need a new PC as well. I write, read or draw.

Friends, Guitar (recently started a new band), Video Games, Movies, Reading, Exercising, Escapist Forum. I don't let myself get bored.

 

[Uncompetative]

I am sitting in front of my screen with very little to do. I can never find good YouTube videos, I have played all my video games to death and now there is a lull in the action that is my life. What do people do for fun on the internet?

(And before anyone screams PR0n!!11! or W4nK!1!!1!, I'd like to keep it somewhat PG 13.)

I've found myself in a similar situation this week. After watching the Apple WWDC 09 keynote that described what I had to look forward to with Snow Leopard and long video preview of Google Wave (simply jaw-droppingly amazing tech.) I have been at a bit of a loss. I've even got tired of Halo and have been trying to get into Frontlines: Fuel of War, but the maps (which are huge to walk around on foot) shrink when you start to fly around in one of the fast jets and you get told to 'Return to the Battlefield' without being given a direction to follow - then I crash into a large crane that I should have seen. I suppose I should be working on my GUI, but I know from experience that feeling as I do at the moment I won't be happy with any decisions that I make at this time.

Yeah, I'm stumped too.

 

[ViolentlyHappy91]

I usually just come on here an lurk, or I play my guitar, otherwise I sit in a haze of cigarette smoke and listen to Tool.

 

[shwnbob]

Go on cool websites writing.com has a lot of great stories to read and it's choose your own path stories.

 

[zen5887]

Write a song, if you don't know how to, learn how to write a song.

 

[Pandalisk]

When im bored i go to the escapist.

Yeah, pretty much this. Just spend 4 or 5 hours watching TV online.

Well, we're only on day two so far, but the duck is definately growing inside the egg, so we'll just have to wait and see ^_^

 

[sms_117b]

Weather like it is, I'd go outside, light maybe a natural enemy, but after a few excursions it's effects wear off. Cycling, swimming running, gather a few friends and play football down the park.

When the weather isn't so good, I've got 300gb of TV shows on my HDD, I watch them. I'm only in now because I have work in a hour :\

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

I constantly refresh facebook, the escapist and xbox.com hoping to see something interesting. That and talk on msn hoping someone good is online... or else I just sit and cry

 

[Corpse XxX]

It's Saturday, you should be wasted.

This!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Write a story, listen to music, play freeware games.

 

[GaM Pancho]

I suggest watching Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe on YouTube, I could watch that all day long
