Well I had bought Black & White 2 hoping that it would keep me occupied until later this month when Civilization 4 is released. However, it was shorter than I expected and doesnt seem to have alot of replayability. So I have another ten days or so til Civ 4. Maybe I should put in some overtime at work. What is everyone else doing to help speed the time along 'til Oblivion?

I play random games, downloading them (the free ones honest) and then finding out they are demos and i'm to much of a cheap scate(sp i know..) to buy the full version.....

I also do random web surfing.... like I found this hot French singer that I think is pretty good. yeah wierd.

mostly I go to school, and, of course, that waists aload of time....

well thats 'bout it... Yes hard-core and I don't have a gf....[/sarcasm]

You could go outside?

Oh....time is getting faster then I am really comfortable with.....I work full time, and far more to do than I will find time for..... so I have no problems with that.....phew!

I need to start drawing some stuff again, maybe something TES-Related again (not for the Bestiary, though). I actually thought about buying BW2 but since it was criticized a lot I will refrain from doing so

I'm thinking about getting Black and White 2, but I think I'll stave it off until it gets cheaper. Anyways, I've just been working, learning, playing games (go Brothers in Arms 2!) and waiting until I can buy or rent Farcry for X-box. Also, I've been counting my money over and over again as I say "Someday, you'll all be an X-box 360".

School, writing, drawing, playing some games, such as.

wait, you said this to your money? or are you talking to us?

i have been going out of my mind waiting for oblivion.

i have also been watching a lot of anime recently.....

and in recent news i have cleaned my room to help pass 8 hours of my life. tis a miracle.

What a coincidence, I claned my room to help make use of a biosuit I already rented and to make sure a hit of adderall wasn't wasted.

I too cleaned my dorm, but that's out of habit since i clean it every week. still take me around an hour to clean though O.o.

go outside and walk around. ^ ^ works for me, find a natural preserve where you can spend hours away from civilization, just listening and observing.

So you have absolutely nothing to do until Oblivion is released? That is like until december and those Civilization games are terrible (IMO). Try doing some contributions to the Tes F'ruum library, if that is still going to happen....

psha! what? outside?

I did the same thing (bought Black and White 2) but I thought it was worse than the original Black and White in everything except graphics, and the original B&W - while a groundbreaking game - had little in terms of exciting gameplay or replayability.

Having just cancelled my World of Warcraft subscription, I'm not really playing anything at the moment, but I've found it's freed up a lot of time so I've started writing again.

I played the original BT before all the adverisement. After becoming hopelessly addicted the novelty wore off and I haven't played it since. Still it was a good game. BT2 should be good, but I don't know why I feel so defensive about people getting BT2.... I just recive wierd habits that way.

What outside?

Me, when I need to pass time away, I sleep, since otherwise, I rarely get more than four hours of sleep a night, and never more than six. If you can't do that, I suggest reading through every comic on CTR ALT DEL and VG Cats. That should waste at least a say. You could also research things that interest you, such as religions that you know nothing about, anything at all that you don't know. Of course, I can't do this, because I know everything. :meh: Just kidding.

i go to websites that are specificly related to waitng 4 oblivion...
...do you know of any?

hahah i'm following you, purity.

this is basically the best one....

the oblivion forums on the official website have degraded to the point of bashing bethesda for delaying Oblivion.

Well.. It seems that we have several more months untill our beloved TESIV comes out.. What to do, what to do?

Play World of Warcraft?, that's what I'd do. Oh no wait, I already am.

BWahahahahHAHAHAHAahHAHAHahHaHAHAHAAA!

play silkroad online (yay)

and star wars battlefront 2 (yay)

when i get back on later tonight i would have played the X360 at wal-mart so that will waste away 30 minutes of the months to come.

oh and i have started reading books again.

EDIT: also if FFXI is a launch title or comes out before OB then i will be playing that on the 360

Neat, so you've played the 360? How was it like..

yep, just got back. i played COD2 and King Kong on it.

for starters the graphics on COD2 absolutely blew me away. i played the demo on my pc and it was nothing in comparison. nothing. the analog stick for aiming was set up extremely well. it seemed if you made a sudden jerk on it, the camera would move faster than normal. this allowed for near mouselike reflexes but without being over sensitive.

king kong also looked very beautiful. there were several times were i couldn't tell whether i was watching a cinematic or playing the game. king kong vs. t rex was so cool.

the controller for the 360 is also nice. it is now symmetrical, the xbox menu button is the logo in the center, it brings up your xbox media player etc.

the black and white buttons have been removed and replaced by an extra set of shoulder buttons like the ps2. these worked ok, but i found i accidently hit them a few times in COD 2 and threw a grenade...

the start button is on the right of the logo, back on the left.

and to make this post on topic, it helps someone decide if the want a 360 to help pass the time till OB.

Wow, sounds nice.. Yea, I bought COD2 for meh computer (beat it in the 3 hours after i got it..) and I thought it only looked a little better then the first COD..

I signed up for a motorcycle rally and a tennis tournament.
