What do you guys do during loading times?

[SkoopMaster]

back in the day when I sat in front of the living room TV (it was HUGE)with my PSX I would just roll around on the floor.

Now I just sit up side down if it takes that long.

 

[PatrickXD]

I tap the right and left triggers in tune with the loading song (If there is any) Otherwise, I take a nice long drink from my coffee.

 

[xbrandon]

crash back to cruel reality, close my eyes for a bit and look outside the window for a change

 

[Kortney]

I sing.

 

[Jfswift]

I usually come here to burn some time or watch stuff on youtube. Either that or I go on a snack run to the kitchen (this is important).

 

[IBlackKiteI]

Sometimes I look at the games box slowly phoenetically pronoucing every word I see verrry sloooowly.

Or I will just hum Seven Nation Army really really loud.

 

[The Gawaine]

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

YOu are amazing.

Ot: For the ones that take a while, I do stuff on my compter (my compter shuts down if I play games on it for more than 2 hours straight so sad.)

 

[Lord Kodous]

Read some of the book I'm reading at the time.

 

[Miffmoff]

flick through a magazine or hum tunelessly to myself

 

[JoshGod]

go to the bathroom. get food/drink! stroke a cat. wait. sometimes i read what is on the screen if the game is something like oblivion. look at the image on the screen and grow to hate it.

What load times? I can barely light a cigarette before the next level/round starts.

 

[joshuaayt]

Takes me about 20 seconds for any source game, so I can usually wait. My benchmark for annoyance is the amount of time it takes fallout 3 go from the first slide to the start menu slide. I actually had it written on my wall for a while, wonder where it went...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Cheydinhal...

I keep a magazine beside me for when I play Oblivion and have to wait for that wretched city to load.

Bethesda, please let us fast travel to indoor locations in your next game, it would save us from all that endless loading.

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*

 

[Aleate]

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

 

[adamtm]

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.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

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.

 

[ShotgunSmoke]

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.
