what do you do when you're bored and sit in front of your computer?

[sir_key]

let's say you have finished all games and stuff and got nothing particularly to do.. where do you surf to? how do you entertain yourselves? any good and well updated pages? would be kinda nice to know...

places i like to go to:
www.joecartoon.com - weird but kewl flash stuff
www.evilbible.com - when i "one of those" agressions against the christian religion
www.stone-age.net - a german online php/mysql game... pretty neat

and i really like those fancy little games like:
Hurdler: www.thegamespage.com
or those freeware games off www.megagames.com

I dont think you can ever Finish all games either emulated or Real Console/PC Based games.

I have played all N64 games in my time and still do when i get the chance.
As for Nes, Snes, Mame, Lynx, CoolcoVision, GBA, GB/C, PSX, PS2, GC, PC, ETC < that was all in one breeth btw :P

Its impossible to have played all games.

I dont have time to do anything but work at the computer these days but if i do have spare time its spent with my wife on good Old Quality Time and watching TV or a good film.

[blizz]

spare time? I'm supposed to be doing some writing...

well the usual suspects of here/ and the other fora keep me occupied.

of course there's dph and sinfest daily too

[khanmeister]

I don't REALLY have spare time. But occasionaly I can waste my valuable time in the arcade playing hex, Be damned if i can get past 42. Me and the GF play alot of dr mario in 1964, I have a tv card, so i can scan channels. I also really like winamp radio stations. Here's my attached playlist of radio stations:

Then of course there's about 3000 different games to play in emulation, and submit feedback to plugin authors etc. Or I fire up dreamweaver and pretty up one of the 4 sites that i webmaster.

Things I never do anymore:
IRC
Build Quake 2/3 levels
Read political news
email for fun.

I used to do all that on occasion, but they are all gone now in favor of the above.

Kinda wierd to think about.

[Davemc]

Talk on MSN Messenger and listen to music.

[The Khan Artist]

Everything I shouldn't be doing, e.g. posting here, at NGEmu, and places I can't name because I'd get banned, reading webcomics, looking through themes and wallpapers, etc.

[Quvack]

hmmm Rom Cheating, Rom Hacking and Photoshop lately. Mostly procrastinating from that homework crap.

[NeTo]

I would gratefully take some spare time from you if that were possible, so you can't get bored and I can have some spare time to use :p.

But when I should be doing any assignment/work I should be doing I usually spend some time here (www.emutalk.net) (that arcade page (www.emutalk.net/arcade.php) is very good), in the jetaudio forums (www.jetaudio.com/forums), waiting gent's next idea for a program, or programming in vb stuff I may have promised for some time ago :p

[Gigahurtz]

When I'm bored (or avoiding homework), I check all my email accounts, then check www.ocremix.org (great place for videogame music remixes) then check some of the news that's going on in the world via netscape.com and google.

[Stezo2k]

Sometimes play Halo, most of the time i'm usually playing PSO recently, aswell as chatting on msn messenger or burning the odd cd/dvd

[2fast4u]

currently spare time is rare, but if i ever do get bored, which has happened there are a few options ...

a) read webcomics (see sig). over the years i have collected enough boredom to have read every single strip of 7 massively updated webcomics
b) pop in a cd and crank up the volume
c) post a political rant on the nvnews.net board
d) log onto instant messenger and talk about random shit

things i have stopped doing for my own good:

a) ircing, you know its bad for you but you cant stop
b) spend more than 2 hours logged on to an instant messenger, same reason

well thats if im at the computer, which i try to avoid. better so calling up some friends is a more productive way to spend the time.

[sytaylor]

lol, damn.. i break both of 2fast4u's rules

I idle or chat on msn or irc 24/7.. unless im travelling somewhere, but even then i leave my machine connected.

First call of the day is the news sites, then the forums, then webcomics.. maybe some wrestling sites. Check emails and then if at work.. buy 2 bannanas and begin work (seriously). Or at home contemplate what to aquire next/decide what game to play.

Often i end up spending so long just surfing and listening to music that i dont get time to game..

[Slougi]

Read slashdot and do some nonsense C coding.

[Alchy]

recently it's been: Kill a few reaperbots, play a lan game of something (worms 3d, CS, HL, Quake), emulate whatever hasn't already been emulated a million times already, and maybe fuck around hex editing old games or just seeing how I can screw with them. Sucks when you don't have the net in your room...

Always listening to music.

[aprentice]

If your really bored, you could surf pr0n or go to sleep and wake up when your free time is over :P

[AlphaWolf]

I rarely have more than 5 hours of free time per week these days (taking 16 credit hours this semester...) I spend it either playing natural selection (see the image link in my sig) or hacking at my directivo. I also visit the following sites on occasion:

news.google.com (my browsers start page)
www.dealdatabase.com/forum (I am a bit well known there)
slashdot.org (though the editing decisions there have really sucked lately)

[vampireuk]

[gokuss4]

i usually listen to music, surf the net, play around with woman adult webcam models, play games...and masturbate while doing all of those at the same time...including the playing games part, maybe that's why im so slow on Halo online sometimes... ^_^;;

[AlphaWolf]

Mod shmod, none of you have mind control ability :P

[Slougi]

[2fast4u]

[Slougi]

[Talas]

Checking E-Mails, checking 3 Emuforums and checking uga-agga, a german Browsergame. (Its fun, try it.) :-)

[PsyMan]

Q:What do you do when you're bored and sit in front of your computer?
A:Format :P

[deesse]

never get bored

[Xade]

No nonsense from deesse then (?!).

I usually do some indiscriminate killing on Vice City, check this place out (well, every 8 months...), order stuff that I shouldn't (£300 Nokia 8910i yeargh!), investigate dieselsweeties.com, talk on MSN, DivX DVDs (COUGH), screw around with my iPod and otherwise expand my mind via the internet.

Now and then I DO actually do coursework (need 3 A-grade A-Levels for Law @ Oxford Uni c'monnn!!!!), and then the rest of the time I try to, like, live.

[deesse]

there's always something to do :)

[Geoz]

I just hit the off button.
