Games to play while watching movies/videos?

[Snock514]

What kind of games do you guys play while watching movies/videos/streams? Anything competitive tends to take my attention away, I'm guessing grindy type games would be best, thoughts?

Uhh... really? Are you that ADD that you need to play a game while trying to enjoy a movie? I tend to pick things to watch that hold my interest and attention to a point where I don't need or want to play a game.

I don't do anything while watching TV/Movies. sometimes I browse the internet on a screen next to what I'm watching if they're simply just talking but rarely and I end up rewatching the scene anyway.

MMO's are best for this

I don't watch many movies actually I was more meaning streams and podcast type stuff, I guess I should have clarified.

If anything I might play spider solitaire during commercials.

I watch the actual movie and not miss it because you are doing something else.

If its a game without a story or anything like that I usually listen to podcasts at the same time. For me its usually NHL for xbox, but really any game im playing besides story heavy games. (Civ, super hexagon, saints row, borderlands, racing games, binding of issac, etc)

I hear people do this all the time with EVE Online

I did this all the time with SWTOR. I'd be leveling on some planet, and have the TV going off to the side.

Then I realized what a crap gaming experience I was having if I was getting more entertainment out of channel surfing on the TV than playing the game.

I stopped playing shortly thereafter.

Now, I'll usually listen to different podcasts, or background videos, if playing a slow strategy game (Paradox game) where I've heard all the music in the game 100 times before.
But actually watch something else? No.
