I think almost everybody has a game that doesn't require to much attention that they fall back to when they need to do something while listening to a podcast, so my question to the community is what game do YOU play when you listen to the bombcast?
 
Lately I have been playing a lot of the original motorstorm.  The races are fun, but the tracks too repetitive for me to be able to give the game my full attention, so I only play it when there's a podcast to listen to.
 
Before that I played Final Fantasy XIII, and had the bombcast play over the straight-corridor grind, and then paused the cast for cutscenes
 
And before even that I used to play people online in Street Fighter IV for the duration of the newest bombcast.
 
Feel free to add your half-paying-attention gaming ventures!

Pretty much anything that doesn't have a heavy story or atmosphere.

I played two hours worth of Section 8: Prejudice's campaign today while listening to the bombcast. I plan to play Wizardy if GamesRadar put out a podcast today but it doesn't look like they will.

Whatever I'm achievement hunting at the time or a noncompetitive multiplayer session or a single player with a story I don't care for

I think a nice Fallout: New Vegas and Torchlight cocktail with an underlying aroma of bombcast served me rather well.

The one where I lay down in my bed staring into the darkness until the podcast ends or I fall asleep.

None, because I don't know how to listen to a podcast.

I've started listening to the podcast while playing PGR 4. I like to set up custom races in the rain in Tokyo, Japan and race with the cockpit camera. Feels comfy, and the tracks are long.

I have been playing Picross 3D while listening to the bombcast for a LONG time, I just felt it was a game I could easily play while paying full attention to what was being said, like I am using different parts of my brain for each task ;p (if I try and read anything while listening I completely lose track of what they're saying), also that game is packed full with content god damn, took a long time to five star every puzzle, granted I pretty much only played while listening to bombcasts.
 
But today, since I 100% picross I tried a little M&B:Warband with PoP mod, worked out pretty good, by the end of the cast I had taken 2 castles and a city for my kingdom.

usually an MMO like LotRO, WoW, EVE, Vindictus, Global Agenda, APB, etc. Pretty much anything that I don't need sound to play and doesn't have a story element.

Unreal Tournament. Not the mellowest of games but I go into zen-headshot mode whenever I hear men talking about their bare feet, body pillows and possum-baton sex violence.

It used to be WoW. These days, it's either Rift, Terraria, or some random iPad game. Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts is a good one too.

I usually play skate 3. it's pretty relaxing and doesn't require all of my attention so i can absorb the vast knowledge of the bombcast.

It has often been Minecraft. Although, trying to build a fully automated tree-farm using saws do tax my mind just enough to either fuck up the building, or not catching anything they talk about.

It varies. I usually listen to them while washing the dishes or walking to or from work. Yesterday though I was playing Cthulhu Saves the World to the new bombcast.

I usually play mp shooters or games where I have beaten them already like Infamous or other third person games, nothing with a major story or heavy atmosphere.

I have been playing a link to the past and before that snes era final fantasy games.  I tend to play snes era games or grind in rpgs since it usually doesnt take my full attention. 
its a great way to making rpg grinding not entirelly boring.

Whatever game that doesn't require too much of my attention. It has been Minecraft, Puzzle Quest, Disgaea, ZHP, Clash of Heroes, etc.

At the moment it's Realm of the Mad God, but the permadeath makes that less then ideal..

I don't play any games or do anything else. I focus all of my attention on the bombcast.
