Games you play when catching up on shows and podcasts
-
@bard91 Revolutions and The History of Rome by Mike Duncan are both excellent and informative podcasts, if a little dry. (and History of Rome is hampered by audio issues in many of the early podcasts).
The History of China is in the same vein, but has SO MANY ADVERTISEMENTS.
In Our Time, BBC Radio 4's history podcast, is a great roundtable discussion of historical topics, but every episode feels rushed, like they only have the studio booked for an hour and everyone needs to get their points in as quickly as possible.

When i used to play FFXIV, I'd gather while listening to Fantasy Fiction. Oddly, when that podcast ended, so did my FFXIV subscription. End of an era.
-
Rocket League is great, play it often when watching Easy Allies stuff
-
Picross and Etrian Odyssey are my go to multitask games.

@CosmicBagel
Hey man! Typically I play open world games like Just Cause 3 or Batman (any Arkham game) because after spending time in a world long enough I just enjoy traversing/doing optional things whilst multitasking with a podcast or whatnot. If you are ever in need of more podcast listening, let me know because I have a Youtube channel that we do a weekly podcast on (forgive the self promotion).

Bloodborne and Quake :)
-
@ChoppedLiver02 Back in the day, I'd dump other music CDs in my drive to listen to my other music CDs while I played games like Quake.
-
Going to update this any and all Pokemon 3DS/DS titles.
-
I think No Man's Sky is a good game for this. I listen to long Easy Allies videos with this.
-
@Sazime ooh baby that's good. I also used to rip cd's but I don't have a cd drive so I try and only buy things that come with a download card.
-
@ChoppedLiver02 Back in the day, we didn't have mp3 downloads, and games didn't support multitasking in Windows. You kids today are spoiled. :3

None. I focus on the show that I am watching to get the best experience.
-
Multiplayer games usually. If I'm playing a single player game I like to give the game my full attention. But there are exceptions. I'm finishing up Fallout 4 right now and since I refuse to use the fast travel I will listen to a podcast when I'm wandering around but when a conversation starts or something very important happens I will pause whatever I am watching or listening to and give my full attention to fallout.

I only can do it while doing simple things in wow. Anything more complex and i get distracted by the game.
