The Official "What are you doing until Beta Arrives" Thread

As for me, while I await the Demigod Beta, I have fired up GCII: TOA and am playing some Metaverse games.

Other than that, I was playing a little bit of Fate, but I have grown oh so bored of that game.

What are you doing to pass the time?

I also fired up GalGiv 2: TOA and checked out the new expansion. I'm very impressed, I've always been a huge fan of making my own my race - but the features they give us in the new expansion is outright nuts. I can spend my entire month building all the nifty little facets that will make races stand out from the others.

Not to mention the new Immense option (yes, a map bigger than Galactic). I just started a game the other day, I betcha I'll be playing the same game until Beta starts.

GalCiv 2 - The ultimate time killer.

I've finished a 14 day trial for Lord of the Rings Online. Nice, but the monthly pay holds me back. I'm never sure about how much time i have to play.

Just started playing (didn't have time when the beta was around) Sins of a Solar Empire. Will take some time to get into.
And just installed Titan Quest, looks nice

Putting some time into Sins (bought it just to try out a Stardock published game),
Ranking up my PS3 COD4 account (lvl 7 prestige currently),
Playing some DOTA (half AI*, and half bnet),
Reading some Twilight (at my wife's request)
Watching some Olympics (loving the soccer channel on DISH),


*on a side note, all of you out there who are having troubles learning DOTA due to the intolerant community, got to http://www.getdota.com/ai_maps and download the latest AI map. Open the map in a custom game in the single player mode and fill the slots with computers. This is a great way to get a feel for the game and learn the heroes and items.

Catching up on old games I never finished/put off since the Sins beta. Just recently finally finished the Witcher for the first time. Started a second playthrough of Mass Effect, and trying to bear through Oblivion to see the story. Never finished that either, got probably half way at one point, but my PC wasn't too great then so it didn't run very well. Now I got a bunch of mods for it (thanks, Dopefish!) and trying to see if I can actually finish it.

Pre-ordered Space Siege, since that's out today, should get it tomorrow/Thursday. And, still being active on the Sins boards.

Worried more about what to do during Demigod testing than before. With the release of SW: Force Unleashed, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Crysis: Warhead, etc, I fear a lot will get pushed back again because all the time will go into Demigod. Sometimes working and only having 3-4 hours an evening isn't so fun :)

^The story of Oblivion isn't that great. If you don't like the game, you can expect that it won't get much better throughout the story.

DotA, Legend: Hand of God, Civilization Revolution, Soul Calibur 4 and Mass Effect.

So lots of exercise from my PC and 360 while my Wii collects dust on the shelf.
