Refill my glass of chocolate milk, check my phone for texts, tell my chihuahua she's the best, and stroke my beard

I just wait, and oft-times I'm lucky because the game I'm playing has good music, so I listen to that. Fortunately, the games I've recently been replaying either have no loading times (Final Fantasy X and X-2), or have cool music (Halo, Rome: Total War) - Rome is helped by the nuggets of Roman military wisdom at the bottom of the screen too :D. The only games I really hate the loading screen in are things like Assassin's Creed 2, anyway, and even there you can always just run around to your heart's content (yes, I know, I'm a sad act who finds amusement in the basest of things...).

I do this as well.
You two must only last about 15 seconds to be done before the loading screen finishes, i bet your significant others (Or future significant others) wont be very impressed.

On topic, i generally fiddle with various things that are about my desk. (Take that lack of innuendo in this thread). At the moment i generally shuffle my deck of cards.

I comment to anyone nearby or the Escapist about how bad the loading times are.

Re-read instruction manuals. I'm the only person I know who'll fully read the instructions before playing a game.

Quite often they're not that long. But, in fairness, when I played Jax X on the PS3, the stupid thing took half an hour to make a save game.

I surf the web. Windowed mode is awesome when you have 2 monitors.

I curse the fact that I am playing a PS3 game. But then again, since I have one, I feel obligated to buy games for it.

I laugh when people say halflife is still a great series.

The ten steps then wait 10 sec to load is the fucking worst thing that any game has made me suffer through in the last 10 years.

I might like the series more if the devs weren't so lazy and out of touch.

I have no desire to argue about this, I know you fanboys think I am being a hater/troll, but I could care less about that. The facts remain that I have no love for the series, so I doubt you can change my mind. Let us just agree to disagree since I know half of you all would kill your parents to say you love the company, no need to argue with me please.

When I started playing Dead Rising, I basically read a book, pushed a button, waited for the next loading screen. That game is really full of them.

But mostly, I just wait.

I don't know about some of the other people in this thread, but my computer doesn't run on coal.
Exact my thoughts. If you have a computer that loads Half-Life 2 in more than 5-10 seconds then just stop, sell your computer on e-bay or something becasue your shit.[footnote]Nothing serious, just want to see how many that gets the reference[/footnote]

Just sit and wait for it to load. There's not enough time to do anything else besides get a drink.

I've got a pretty bitchin' PC, so games usually take only a few seconds to load up, even Mass Effect's elevator rides went by fast for me. Though, Dragon Age's loading screens got longer and longer during the time I played it. By the time I knew about the memory leak problem I'd already finished the game.
