The art of Distraction: Keeping yourself busy till phase 4 - Felix Sideris - 07-25-2013
Just as the subject says..
I figured I would start a post to see what everyone is doing to distract themselves, or keep themselves busy as we all wait for phase 4 to get our next fix.
Me? I'm playing Dead Island and watching some Anime... Although I have to say it isn't working very well!
Phase four couldn't come any sooner!
So, what are you all doing?! Post away!
Edit: Not sure if this is the proper category for this or if it should be in off-topic discussion. If it is in the wrong place, feel free to move it and I apologize for the mistake!

Shadowrun Returns. Enough said.
Edit: Sorry about that, only had time to put one thing. But yeah, when I'm not playing Shadowrun, I'll be rping with my free company.

I've been posting on these forums, working on my character, and collecting lore.
Other than that, I've got FFVII I've been playing again, and I just picked up Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition off the Steam sale and will probably be playing that next.

Just two more hours to go.

Sitting alone in a dark room with the beta loading screen up on my computer, huddles with my knees up against my chest, rocking back and forth muttering "Yoshi P is coming. Beta will be here soon. Yoshi P is coming. Beta will be here soon."
... Actually, in all seriousness, I'm generally mucking about on PSO2, or the occasional game of Starcraft II or The Old Republic. Having trouble finding people to play WITH though :/

Work happens to be busy lately, for one. These forums have also proven challenging to keep up with but have provided a good source of distraction. This week we're looking after our 6-y/o niece as well, so that's keeping us busy. And whatever spaces there are left in between I'm finding I'm able to fill with RP over Skype, working on Eva's wiki (which I've been procrastinating for forever now), and a few other little projects. I've also been practicing sketching and figure drawing and faces and such but nothing I want to post just yet.

The recent Steam Sale has been working pretty well to keep me busy until early access.
RE: The art of Distraction: Keeping yourself busy till phase 4 - Martiallais - 07-25-2013
I've been playing other games (tabletop and online), tweaking Zarek's story and working on his wiki, building a few IC connections with some other players and hanging around here.
Not to mention getting ready for a big move here in a few weeks.

Do we have a time frame for Phase 4? Â I've looked, but haven't seen dates, yet.
RE: The art of Distraction: Keeping yourself busy till phase 4 - Lren - 07-25-2013
Fighting games and life are keeping me busy, for the most part XD. Tales of Xillia and Dragon's Crown will certainly help ease the wait though.
Should also mention programming too, since I need to learn a few things before the new semester starts! xD;;
RE: The art of Distraction: Keeping yourself busy till phase 4 - Desphiria - 07-25-2013
I've been rping on skype with mah friends, and watching animes on crunchyroll, chatting, and watchings youtube. But it's not helping as much as I'd like. However, it's a purty decent distraction though, until I get bored. -.- THEN I just find other stuff to do. ^_^

Swimming of course, It's July!
That said I hate having tan lines so lately I just hide inside with the AC on and play Animal Crossing. Then as it turns out you get tanned in there too.. no place is safe!

That first part reminded me of myself a little bit xD

Been keeping busy with a classic.

...Almost caved and bought Adoulin. Almost. Then I realized it'd be a waste of $30 because I'd be playing phase 4 in a matter of weeks.
