When I game, I game. This multi tasking you speak of is a foreign concept to me.

Hello Guys! Just wondering how many of you does multi-tasking as well while playing a video game sometimes? 

Here's some of my example scenarios:

1. Playing Game of Dice on my phone while watching an anime, surfing the internet, or chatting with someone.

2. Playing an MMORPG on PC while watching an anime. All I had to do is resize the mmorpg screen and put it aside as I put the anime screen in the middle. I usually do this if I do free pvp killing with my friend wherein we just instinctively kill each other alternately for xp boost without looking at the gaming screen. Or do simple farming without having to look at the gaming screen too much.

3. Playing PS3 while pooping. Yes, I did this once when there was a time I can't pause the game but really need to poop. I just leave the comfort room door open so I can still see the game from our large TV screen. 

How about you guys? :D

That happen to me when i was playing smash bros in a singles match, I grab my gamepad and finish the match in the toilet and i won lol.

Mine was during a cut scene on an old PS3 game I think that cannot be paused. Fortunately most cutscenes on the recent games on PS3 and PS4 can now be pause.

Had one experience as well recently when I was playing my current addicting mobile game, Game of Dice, and a new cut scene was updated after its recent patch that appears only during it's updating phase. And so I bring it with me on my CR during that time. lol

I see. Indeed, not everyone have ever done it. Also, nowadays, new games needs to be focus on so much to really enjoy it. Free pvp killing of a friend is not efficient anymore in new mmos. Grinding became more enjoying now with every daily quest and raids while playing with your friends on guildmates.

With Wii U, you can do that with the door shut. ;)

The ultimate in playing video games while multi-tasking for me was playing the games in the Myst series. I spent more time solving those puzzles in my head while away from the screen doing other things, than I did clicking randomly at objects with a mouse.

You can play on your PS3 with your door shut if you have a Wii U? :-O

So much surprising stuff we don't know about the Wii U 'cos of Nintendo's crap marketing

Diablo III whilst watching some Starcraft II Proleague is always a good combo.

This reminds me of a time where i was sitting on the toilet with the door open while playing NHL online with my brothers.  Literally, i was 10ft away looking at the TV on a 170 degree angle (but I have a 60" tv so that kind of helped make looking at the screen a bit easier), and I was able to deke out a few of my opponents and scored.  My brothers were amazed (we were on headsets as well, and I do my toilet business pretty quietly too lol)

But yes I constantly multitask when I game online as I don't need to focus on any story and the gameplay is repetitive like ill be Netflixing while playing CoD or NHL, and web browse inbetween matches.
