Perhaps I'm lucky, but I usually do not experience extravagant loading times.

 

I'll click to load up the game; launch in story mode first; and then click to join a private session when I'm ready to play. Going from story to online takes less than a minute.

 

I frequently take breaks and just get up to walk around whilst playing. I don't like sitting for more than say a couple of hours at most at a time.

 

When I'm waiting or taking a break, I'm usually checking RSC, having a drink or snack, or listening to music.

Google the definition of my username, there's your answer :p

 

Joking (too) but I would have enough time during all the loading screens, that's for sure. I do like you fw3, flipping laundry and putting away dishes mostly, then I'm allowed to go for a smoke if my gf doesn't need help with my baby... Then I look at the clouds as I burp or change diapers (gaming isn't the same without a diaper on).... Then I teach my baby she has arms so she stops hitting herself in the face.... Then it looks like the loading is almost done so I sit down, twiddle my thumbs, go out for another smoke, get a drink, smack my screen to speed things up like the good old days.

By then if it's still not loaded, I have an intense staring contest with my router just to feel like I'm winning something because it blink constantly. That usually makes it go faster or puts me in a trance for hours so I don't notice the wait.

 

Or I just sit there enjoying the wonders of Cloud Simulator, it's like a whole different game I never knew I never wanted to play.

There's a reason I keep my tablet plugged in. You could f*cking paint the Mona Lisa in the time it takes the game to load.

I read. Books.

 

Why isn't this a option?

Books? Who's that?

Oh ! Are you that guy with the Lamborghini?

Listen to the loading screen music. Scratch my head. Overthink things. Check my arm for fleas off my dog but find a spider instead. Expect the worst in life.

 

Usual stuff.

Question?

 

What can you do? When you discover that your speeds are

 

4.6Kbps Upload

14.2Kbps Download

 

That's like finding out Bush is going to be President again.

That's like find the hot neighbourhood girl is only talking to you just to sell AVON

That like... You get the picture.

 

Well the I sat there powerless, watching the Arcades Ps4 struggle to load me into session

 

Hey, but did you know. The screen shots don't move if your speeds are that low while loading GTA online...

because books is for losers

 

You learned to read by a book.

You will never be the cool kid who says "bitch, read me that, i am too cool for school."

And it will haunt you until you die.

Damn, sounds like some of you guys have actually seen what's after the loading screen?

 

I logged on in Oct 2013 and I'm still watching that little spinning circle

At first I was like "and...?" and then I saw the K's instead of M's

Does it make this sound when you join?

 

On the other hand, you must have nice empty lobbies for CEO crate-work

I think you have to have 56kbps to have that sound, and thanks to that connection I'm too poor in game to own a Warehouse. I can even have single public sessions for several hours with no one bothering me...

I had that sound (very similar, at least) with my 14.4k. connection in 1994 (though I used acoustic coupler modems in the mid/late 1980's as a kid)

Checking Facebook, watching my two beloved cats (even if they're just sleeping), hypnotizing myself while staring at the loading circle on the bottom right corner, go making me some cappuccino.

@Quinn_flower, lol I had that outfit too. I never got banned for saying that but I got banned twice for other things.

 

While I'm playing cloud simulator, I'll usually sit there and think about all the time that I'm wasting with my life by doing nothing productive. Or I'll just text some friends, get up to get a drink, and or go use the latrine.

Grab a snack;

 

Grab a beer;

 

Grab a snack again;

 

Go to toilet;

 

Lie down in my bed where I play to get more confy;

 

Watch porn on my cellphone;

 

Check the forums on last time;

 

Contemplate why I'm not studying for the finals;

 

Contemplate why I haven't hung out in the last month which raises the question why I haven't had any "action" in the last 6 months;

 

Wonder how will my life sort...Oh sh*t the game's starting, gotta get those dailies!
