When you beat the game, what do you do when the credits roll? I usually just go to my laptop and do whatever until the credits are over.

I don't skip them, out of a combination of respect for the team that did it, wanting to hear the music and not wanting to miss a potential post-credit sequence. 
  
But I'll probably mess with my phone or something while they roll.

I admire my achievements in the game for a brief minute. I hate it when pulling up the blades cause the credits to auto pause. The valiant credits make reading my achievements feel more fulfilling.

I usually sit there and think about the game or the ending. I wait until the credits are over, just to make sure there isn't anything after them.

I always watch the credits through to the end for everything, whether that be a game, film or episode of TV. That's just how I roll.

Wait until it says "Thank you for playing!" and then: Would you like to save your progress?   
    Yes

I go on forums and RAGE about how the game didn't exceed my super-high expectations. Then if there's no post credit...something I cry myself to sleep.

Wait it out and take some time to think about what just happened. I either:
1-Actually read some of the credits to see who voices the characters
2-Look for funny names
3-Just wait because I need a break
 
The one time I hated how long the credits rolled was for Fable.  Man, it felt like that went forever.

Cross off the names that I wrote down trying to guess who voiced the characters if I get them right.  
Also think about the pros and cons of the game

This. Especially if it's a really good song, like inFAMOUS's Silent Melody or Mass Effect's M4 Part II.

I let the credits roll all the way because sometimes there's extra stuff at the end or an achievement.

Urinate.  
 
 
 
 
 
Not in my seat. I go to the bathroom. It always seems to work out that way, I realize "oh Im right at the end fuckin a" then I sit and finish and don't notice hunger pains or bladder rumblings or anything till the credits pop up. That's why I hate credit/cutscene fusions cus my bladder's like "hurry the fuck up".

Depends.  If the game was hard near the end for whatever reason, then I'll do a fist pump or something.  If it was some atmospheric, climactic moment I just witnessed then I'll sit down for awhile.  Tour buses.

I put the controller down and watch the credits roll just in case there's something at the end of them. Like in MGS. That extra after the credits made my jaw drop. Ever since then, I wait.

Most of the time I lean back and relax. Put my controller down, listen to the music, and ruminate about everything that has happened and everything that might happen next in a sequel.

Sometimes breathe a sigh of relief, after taking in a masterpiece or stare in awe after finishing the game. Most of the time I just do some other shit when the credits rolls. But Mass Effect and Portal had the best ending songs I've ever heard.

Try to sprint to the bathroom if I have time. Then I come back and wait patiently for any possible post-credits scenes.

Both of these, plus hope there's an Achievement for watching the whole lot that I didn't notice.

I'll usually let them roll. Wing Commander 3 had some long as hell credits, and they had weird stuff in them like recipies for chocolate cookies and other totally random stuff.

When I finished 'Splosion Man and Portal I shouted to anyone who could hear me that they "had to come and see this".

I put down the controller/leave the keyboard, and flop on my bed to enjoy the music.
If the music sucks, then I look for funny names.

I let them roll till the end in case there's a post-credit scene. I played a game - don't remember which - that would allow you to fast-forward them by pushing one of the analog sticks. I thought that was a good idea.
 
I also enjoy watching Epic games credits cause they have the pictures of the developers. There's a funny looking guy that always makes me crack when I see him.
 
But usually, yes, it's quite boring.

I always wait for a post-credit scene, but while they roll, I look at who did specific work that interested me within the game.  I could always google that information, but it's right there, so I figure, why not read it?

The credits are usually too long for me to handle.
 
So unless I can skip them, I turn off the console.

Do a little celebratory dance, and then watch the credits and check out any special bits that might have been included.

It depends on the game, if i loved the game, i usually sit through the credits. If i didn't enjoy the game that much, i tend to skip the credits.

I try to skip through the credits. If I don't have an option, then I troll Giant Bomb until the credits are over.

Wait till the end, there might be a secret cut scene at the end and I don't want to accidentally miss it. Didn't Assassin's creed for the 360 give you an achievement for waiting till the end of the credits?

Is it just me or are there less post-credit shenanigans than there used to? Anyway, I fondly remember the bunnies hopping into the sunset after Full Throttle and I'm still hoping for something to top that...so I pretty much always sit through 'em, usually spending my time looking for joke names.

I sit back, check out the producer and lead design, then check if the game will let me escape out when it gets to Video Sequence Animator or Special Effects. 
 
Then, I look at the massive stack of games I've yet to get to and wonder what I'm going to play next, hopefully completely different from whatever I just finished. 
 
Oh, and I write the name of the game down on a tiny notebook. Up to 3,456.
