What do you do while playing OOTP?
OOTP is a game that you can really easily sink a bunch of time into all at once but which doesn't require you to pay any attention to the audio portion of things. For that reason I've found that I like to watch or listen to something while I play it. I know I can't be the only person who does this. What do you watch/listen to/play while you're also playing OOTP?
Here are the last 5 things I've watched/listened to, to get us started: Good Mythical Morning (a 10-20 minute long daily vidcast you can find on the YouTubes, which is very silly and often hilarious, and best of all has like 4 years of daily shows to peruse) The Co-Optional Podcast (a weekly gaming podcast hosted by TotalBiscuit, Jesse Cox, and Dodger - it's fun if you like games and is also 3 hours long, so good OOTP material) Archer (wound up re-watching through season six) Daredevil (only up to ep 3 though, as I felt like I was missing too much by OOTP-watching it) Random romcoms on Netflix (the last one was a British one whose name I can't remember but co-starred Simon Pegg and was about a woman who pretended to be a guy's blind date)

I usually watch either MLB network, some random baseball game, or tv shows

Given the time of day I generally get to play OOTP, I have the current hockey or baseball game playing on the big screen at the other side of the room.
Or Sherlock Holmes (the Cumberbatch/Freeman series) until I ran out of those, now it's the Blacklist. I also catch up on Youtube videos of "Top 10" lists provided by TSN (the Canadian sports network), which are always hilarious.

I love to watch/listen to lifetime movies while playing OOTP. Cops marathons also. When I get the occasional weekday off, I find OOTP and all the silly court shows go well together.

I've played OOTP 8 while writing the article I'd got ordered on the freelancer site (etxt.ru, if you must know). It's funny to write some sentences in one window and to steal bases in the other. It sure helps to ease an intellectual tension that comes from thinking what to write.

If my team is winning, I'm usually grinning and fist-pumping.
If we're losing, I'm usually grinding my teeth and thinking about starting a new dynasty.

Watch baseball. When I get tired, this can lead to confusion as I mix up what is happening on the virtual field and what is happening in the game I'm watching.

Most of the time MLB Network, other times listening to music on Pandora or I have WSJ Video on in the background or a good documentary on Netflix or PBS.

usually I'm working while playing OOTP. When I'm not working, I'm watching the MLB network or the Marlins.

Music, music , music. Everything from Dave Matthews to the Beatles to Dean Martin

I played this game this morning while watching "How It's Made" on the Science Channel. It was unbelievable watching it pan out. I was in awe. I was managing the Phillies. Thought you people might be interested in this particular games box.

That's ridiculous! No way could Scherzer get 20 in a game... oh wait...
Next thing you know, you'll tell us Syndergard jacked 2 for the Mets. Quote:

Usually just listening to music. Sometimes, I am pretending to work.

I have sports (hockey, baseball, CFL/NFL football) on in the background most often. I have my back to the tv so i really can only listen unless a big play happens.

I generally am listening to real baseball when I play OOTP. Can be occasionally confusing as noted above.
