Do you enjoy being idle?

Let me start by saying the 13 min idle-kick timer is a good idea.

 

I quite enjoy just parking somewhere and watching the landscape. If I game for a couple hours, I bet 10 or 20 minutes is spent just parked and watching.

 

Sometimes by the ocean. Sometimes on a mountain, sometimes just pulled off to the side of the freeway.

 

Anybody else sometimes enjoy 'playing' by just sitting and looking?

My mother always told me when I was younger that I was very idle. I enjoyed it.

I do this whilst thoughtfully rubbing my chin, contemplating the fate of humanity, and what beguiling mysteries shall await us in the cosmos.

 

All this just before I snipe the dude whose been standing idle for six minutes on the side of the highway wearing a suit and a hockey mask. ;)

If I spawn or find myself in the right spot I have been known to sit on a hilltop and look down on the city or landscape.

But I don't like to idle for too long without knowing what is going on in the hood.

I do this as and when I need to top up the ol blood/thc level. Always gotta keep an eye on the radar though.

I always need to do something so not really. I enjoy taking pictures so I sometime stay idle.

If I need to do something else for a few minutes, I'll pause the game while idle and keep my eye on the full radar.

I did this for about 10 minutes way at the edge of the map and some guy came in his helicopter and killed me.

 

Never did it again.

I really enjoy taking in the view. I mostly just do it at my apartment cuz it's safe and I have RM 51 with the great view of the beach and Kortz center. It's great how dynamic the world is with all the different weather and lighting conditions creating amazing scenery. This is half the reason I go off roading, so I can scout out great viewing locations. I love getting to the top of some random hill and catching some new awesome view.

 

Good times!

 

It is a dangerous world though so I never like to just sit out in the open for too long...

I don't particularly enjoy it since I usually just pull up the map if I need to step away for a couple of minutes or check something. I don't trust those animals out there. :panic:
