So what do you do while you game?
For me it depends what I'm playing. If its an FPS or RTS I am focused on the game but occasionally play music.
But if it's an MMO I am usually watching Scrubs or other shows.
What do you do while you game?
If it is new then just game. If it's old or it's a game with no vocal dialogue or anything I have to listen to I watch something on the internet or listen to podcasts.
It depends. if I'm playing a game that's atmospheric like BioShock or Assassin's Creed II, then I generally don't have anything else in the background. But, if I'm playing a game like Persona 3 and I'm in Tartarus (the dungeon area), then I'll have my TV on mute while I listen to the Bombcast or songs on Grooveshark.
If it's time to eat while I'm gaming, I'll eat and game at the same time. I also usually drink different beverages while I game.
When it comes to listening, the general rule is first playthrough: game. Replays: music
I just focus on the game.
People that are half present watching movies/tv/sports need to get the fuck out of my mmo's.
Go watch sports when you're grinding levels, not when your group depends on you!
I usually have my headphones in with Bombcast or music playing. I take them off or mute the song during cutscenes and other story-specific events.
Right now I'm getting back into WoW while catching up on season one of the GSL at gomtv.net or half watching quicklooks.
Listen to podcasts when I play multiplayer alone. I usually give my full attention to the story in games.
" @Dimsey said:This. I had no idea people multitasked so much." If I game I'm uh, gaming. ""
I play the game. If it's something like Civ I will eat a meal sometimes, or if there is long spawn times I might have GB or some other site open in the steam browser. I used to listen to the 1up podcasts while I played city of heroes.
If its just some multiplayer game I want to play a few games of or want to level up quickly, I will put on a TV show or some heavy metal to pump me up. If it's some story heavy RPG, especially if I haven't already beat it, then nothing else will be turned on and my main focus will be the game.
When I had a second tv in the room I would just watch tv and game at the same time.I also like eating while playing.
My full attention is directed toward the game, unless it is an online experience (TF2, Reach Multiplayer). In that case I usually have music going in the background.
