    Bought a Rubik's cube. On a good loadscreen I can only do one colour. On a bad one I finish the cube :|

    Look at the time. Tab out to my browser or pick up my crossword book. Wait for the fans to spin up on my PC indicating the loading screen has ended. If nothing after 10 minutes then tab into the game and Alt-F4.

      How long of loading screens are you people getting to be doing that stuff. While they are a little long sometimes30-45 seconds.. There not long enough to play other games or do most of the activities you have described.

      Be glad I have an SSD. Haven't really had all these loading screen issues I read about *shrug*

      I'm not judging anyone, but my experience with the loading screens playing Red Dead Redemption on a PS3 made we promise to myself I would never play a large game on a non-SSD ever again. I still don't understand how they manage to sell so many consoles with slow magnetic hard disks (and how they came to the design decision to not support the full speed of consumer SSDs.)

      "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

      I do a few pushups or sit-up when I'm switching zone. Otherwise I'm ok. I have a SSD.

      I read Manga... Sometimes I manage to read whole 20 pages before laodscreen stops. To be sure loadscreen stopped I play sounds from ESO in backgrounds so when music changes I know for sure it is time to go back to game.

      Between load screens I play the game. I hope that is the general goal for everyone .

      During load screens I think about how fabulous @Tasear is.
