What is your habit before, during, after Gameplay?

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 1:23 pm

Didn't see this in a while, so I'll start.

I'll boil a whole day worth of water, and put the cattle beside the sofa. I'll also make myself some coffee. Put the tv, hifi or any remote control nearer to my reach. Loose shirt and pants is absolute vital!

Before: I'll click on the desk lamp and turn off the overhead. Make sure my ashtray and cigarettes are setting on the desk in front of me, open up a beer and put on my headphones.

During: Simply sit back and listen to the people tell of their stories and go out to take care of the problems. One quest at a time (unless two are in the same general area)

After: Usually I'll just go to bed, but I have been known to paruse the forums shortly after playing at night.

Usually I roll a "cigarette", lay in bed with the fiance, play for hours after enjoying said "cigarette"


Good times.

Hmm...before? I am doing something else, reading, socializing, whatever. Usually I just scan Skyrim Nexus to see if any of my mods have updates or issues. Then Update or remove as needed and play. Usually with my laptop chilling on my lap and my butt planted firmly(yet comfortably in my bed). After? I go out, go to sleep, enjoy some 'stress' release with my gf, read, browse forums, facebook, EAT, or any number of things.

Don't really have any rituals. I should plan more lol.

Before: Make and then consume a bacon sandwich with extra bacon and a side of bacon

During: play the game, this means that I am dead to the real world for at least 5 hours

After: Scramble to get the house work done before the fiancé gets home so it doesn’t look like the Before and During ever took place.

During Christmas (and I mean also during Christmas proper):
Before: Wake up
During: Play as if life depended on it. Eat and do other stuff randomly and absentmindedly. Pretend that I'm busy with something serious ("work") when people call.
After: Go to sleep

Not altogether true though. Today I didn't play at all, as I did it too much yesterday.

Oblivion I sometimes played all through the night a few times. I haven't done that with Skyrim yet, but until 5 am almost qualifies.

Relax with some music to awaken a higher state of emotion and have a snack or full meal. Turn on a movie so as not to have the apartment feel too quiet then set my stereo reciever for computer audio with headphones and jump into everything Skyrim has to offer from lenghty conversations with many npcs to exploring dungeons or just enjoying the vast world with all its wonders. Afterwards i'll grab a snack to eat, check out the night sky usually to enjoy the sight of the full moon then peruse the evening news or Youtube before heading off to sleep.

Normally, I'll get up early and watch the sunrise, just to get in the right state of mind. After that, I'll browse my iPod touch for a bit - get updated on the daily news and such (news is so depressing, now-a-days). Afterwards, have some breakfast, chat it up with my friends on AIM and boot up the game. While I'm playing I'll try to take small breaks, do some work, but keep the game on to remind me what I'm doing. After I finish, I basically get all the laziness out of me with a bit of walking outside (did you hear about that new game engine? outside? the graphics are so realistic and there's virtually NO lag, even on low-end systems!) and I'll maybe go to the grocery store and buy some food - restock my cabinets and such. Then, watch a nice movie, maybe hang out with friends, and then go to bed.

Rinse and repeat.

I think of all the things I'm going to do in Skyrim, then turn on Skyrim....never actually do any of those things, then relize I Need to go to the bathroom, come back to relize I'm hungry and turn it off.

-turn on later and relize I forgot to save and end up loading at the last place I entered.

Start to unwind an hour before, Roll a fat cone head J, put comfy clothes on, smoke the J, put on my 5.1 surround sound headphones, turn the lights off and finally immerse myself in Skyrim.

I'm staying at a resort in Palm Springs, and my real-life parents invited me to go on a hike, and I said no because I was busy hiking in Skyrim.
yeh, I'm a dike, but at least I know what I want.

p.s. I agree about said "cigarette"

O_O, you are not a dike, you just need help, I wonder what a lot of people on here honestly look like, "put on sweat pants, make J, make sure i have everything as close as possible in reach, and cigarettes, im busy hiking in skyrim >_< ", seriously.......

I do most of the time, 45 minutes in gym hitting the weights as anymore than that is kinda counter productive if your body building and then on my off days I go to my unwind plan haha :-P

I don't get why most people consider going to the gym necessary to remain fit. A good walk every day doesn't hurt, especially if it's a good solid 2 miles or so. I walk a mile to and back from the market every day, but maybe that's just because I live in a neighborhood where people aren't afraid of being mugged or jumped at night. Hell, I can walk at midnight to go get my mail and see joggers pacing up and down the sidewalk.
