What do you guys do during loading times?

[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.

 

[Berserker119]

I toss whatever I can find in the air and catch it. Stuff like drum sticks, wii remotes, xbox controllers, guitar hero guitars, tables, TVs, industrial size fans, etc.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Browse the escapist.

 

[Taneer]

Twirl the controller.

 

[Narclaw]

I just stare at the loading bar/screen or whatever, and wait for it to finish. If I'm downloading a game on Xbox live, I'll play something else while I wait.

The instant they start i dive out of my window, just cause 2 style, hijack a car, drive it at 300mph around the local green screaming my head off with all the windows open, until a flaming grizzly bear with chainsaws for arms jump on top of the car. At this point i dive out of the window and jump up on the roof (also just cause 2 style) and wrestle the grizzly bear, taking several severe burns and wounds, until i manage to RKO him to the ground. At this point i use the chainsaws along with a carefully constructed system of pulleys to create a trebuchet of sorts, and launch myself back to my house and through the open window. At this point the loading screen has usually finished, unless it's bayonetta.

O_e

I make plans to kill everyone i meet...even people on the escapist who live in australia and other far away lands.

 

[jojoemon]

I listen to music. sometimes I read, or get up and walk around

 

[Treeinthewoods]

That used to be when I'd hit my bong, nowadays it's when I sip my "purple drank." Load times aren't long enough to do much else really.

Now while waiting for DLC to finish downloading I have gone out for dinner, played games on the computer, gone to work for the day... all kinds of stuff (I love background downloads).

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Shadowbox? Usually if I need a refill I run off and get a cup of Joe.

 

[Communist partisan]

Scratch my head, my computer isn't slow or from the early 1800 so everything goes pretty quick.

 

[TheGameXXVII]

sometimes i am lucky enough to have my DSi handy and in those situations i just play a little on Pokemon until the game i'm playing loads.
if i don't have my DSi near me i just wait.

 

[Kwaren]

I watch TV

 

[Acryllos]

I pretend my cellphone is a gun and shoot imaginary enemies in my room...

 

[Brazilianpeanutwar]

Play bass for a couple of seconds,usually thats during cutscenes though

 

[Geekosaurus]

Complain to my friends about how long it's taking to load.

 

[Stormz]

I wait for it to load. If it's gonna take a while I might get a drink.

 

[strum4h]

I have a zippo that is empty but still useful for clacky noises.

 

[Nwabudike Morgan]

Send more hooch down the hatch.
