I just browse these forums and the internet, on Xbox, since my Tv is right next to my computer.

When it gets really bad I let the Xbox cooldown for 10 minutes and clear the cache.

i have had both problems that the top 2 posters have had, either it loads so quick i cant read the tips, or it loads so slow (which has seemed to happen more now since i have 12 active quests have my companion and me with high lvl gear and weapons, and filled with loot) but to answer your first question i like to go on here or the fallout wiki when the game is loading

My PC's pretty high-end, so the longest loadscreen I've encountered is like 5-10 seconds, tops?

This is why I bought NV for PC...also mods.

When I first started playing load times where fast. Now that I have about 70 hours logged, it takes FOREVER.

my load times are usually not to bad, but there are quite a few times that i get the loading bug where the game either locks up for 20 seconds or just sits there for a min loading. at times the long loading bug along with the random freezeing bug makes me want to uninstall off my hard drive... sigh !!!!

Guess I have a BAMF Xbox. No issues here. Or maybe it's just that I clean my lasers regularly. What a concept.

I pet my cat.

When I went through Fallout 3 my old and dying chihuahua Lola would sit on my lap. She would get pet during every load. I wish she was still around. She was my fallout buddy.

When I play again as a woman, my characters name will be Lola.

one of my dogs is getting put down today or tommorow. she has a tumor on her chest and only has about a month to live.

RIP Dogmeat

Im very sorry to hear that. Lola died of cancer as well. She was very tired and didnt like to move much towards the end. So she just sat on my lap while I played. She loved it.

Everytime I play fallout I think of her. Stay strong dude. Remember the good times.

Just pretend she died of radiation poisoning or something.

Blink. Usually that's all I have time for.

I very rarely get a load screen longer than 30 seconds. But when I do :rofl:

im kinda sad about it, but im not taking it to hard i guess. my dog cant sit in my lap though. (its a rotwieler)<-----probably spelled wrong.
its like 9 years old so it was inevitable, she was old, and it happens.

Cross my fingers and hope it doesn't freeze/crash.

What do i do during the load times? The ole pinch and roll...bit of a rash issue im afraid....

You have the best name ever!

I do pushups during load screens, lol...

Blink a few times then kill something or talk to someone...

(Xbox 360) Installed no load times

The people playing this on the Xbox or PS3 generally don't have $4,000-$6,000 lying around the house. I'd bet people that play on the consoles are the middle-class people who can't afford the PCs, otherwise I'd be playing it on a PC.

coffe,push-ups or playing fetch with my dog.
good stuff generally.
i imagine that new generation must real suffer when something goes not that fast as nowaday life. :>

I sit and think, reflecting on my in-game choices and planning my next course of action.

I paid 800 for my good gaming pc so they don't cost that much.

I'm actually what is considered an upper class person, but that would be if mooching off of my mother's financial standing counts. My mom has always known the value of money, having grown up as a war zone as a lower class citizen, so she never wasted much money on what she considers impractical things, including a gaming PC (and I sure don't know how to build one, nor would my mom let me try) and after being used to playing Playstations for so many years, I don't really want to waste money on one, either. I prefer my Playstations. I don't need to mess with them to get them to work, it's connected to my TV at all times, I've got free Netflix movies available for instant viewing, and it's a Blu-Ray player. Even after completing my current plans of attending medical school after college to work as an internist, I plan on using Playstations as my main platforms of choice.

I also know of many middle-class people who have gaming PCs, although those people (the ones I know) typically build their own computers for much cheaper.
