myself117 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Hey, I'm just wondering how everyone here at Tip.it keeps themselves entertained during longer tasks in game I'm talking about watching tv or watching youtube and whatnot, but I also want to know the unique things you do that most people don't do to keep entertained. so post what you do and maybe you'll give someone else an idea I watch tv and come to forums and go on aim and whatnot but something i've gotten more into recently was practicing drumming while killing dust devils for a d chain, just grab a pair of sticks and bang around your chair or office working on your fills and whatnot. My ultimate goal is going to be to get a rumble pad and a double bass pad and set it up while ill play so i can work on my drums as i play \ so now its your turn, tell your ways of keeping yourself entertained!

mervinator_9 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The forums and youtube are probally the way i spend most of my time, i browse play and ebay sometimes or just organise my music in itunes when im really board, I listen to music most of the time aswell outside the computer i read and play rs sometimes but if alot of clicking is required it gets teidious loving the druming idea though :lol: , Theres a fine line between not listening and not caring,I like to think I walk this line every day. Pinning blame on Jagex is like trying to put pants on an old man. You both know he needs them, but he'll just keep dancing around, avoiding them at all costs.

Mylez Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Whilst getting 99 Cooking I managed to watch around 30 films, all of Red Dwarf, all of Heroes, Lost and Life on Mars. That's how I manage longer tasks! I also find forums a good way to kill time and give me something to do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myself117 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Nice replies so far, I like the movie watching idea each one will get you through about 2 hours of play. I thought about trying to read but I hate looking up constantly from a book to have to do something like text or click or something Goals:Str: 86/90Hitpoints: 85/90Fletching: 96/99Fishing: 74/80Prayer: 61/70Woodcutting: 82/85Magic 80/80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownRemoval Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I just listen to comedy podcasts or Radio 4 when doing tedious things that require constant watching. If I don't need to watch as carefully, I just stick a random series of Peep Show in my Xbox and press play. : Retired Crew Member | Retired RuneScape Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returned3 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You don't really have a wide variety of choices of other things to do when you're smelting 11k iron ores or burying 2k dragon bones via ectofungus. Most of the time I don't really have much of a choice but to pay attention to these activites (Which gets boring fast). I'll either listen to music or play some random game from mofunzone etc. On the rare occasion theres a new Tip.It article that I can read. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

Zierro Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 The best way to pass the time while training in my opinion is to talk to my friends on Runescape. Without them, I'd just be a lost little noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttia Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I will at times use hulu or fancast while playing the game. They are just archived tv epiodes. The hulu player especially can scale to sit right next to the rs window so thta you don't have to take your eyes off the game much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderownzyou Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 these forums, itunes and read a book :roll: that or use msn and text on phone, depends if my mates are online :D You only live twice. Once when you are born and once when you look death in the face. Do not fear Death. Death is always at our side. When we show fear, it jumps at us faster than light. But, if we do not show fear, it casts its eye upon us gently and then guides us into infinity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_Lei1993 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm fishing ATM and I'm keeping myself entertained by opening a browser half way so I can still see my Runescape screen. I'm currently reading TIF and Facebook, as well as listening to music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
