Anyway... I don't do anything in particular. Watch the History Channel a lot I guess.

Watch the History/Military channel or listen to music.

Listen to music and or a TV or movie in the back ground mostly. When I work on graphics, sometimes nothing, but if I'm doing anything w/ XML I have to have something to distract me!!!

I drink, smoke, and usually have either the news or history channel on while I mod.

Yeah, really. The Discovery Channel is much cooler. They've got the Mythbusters!

That's the point it is way to distracting the history channel is almost as good bu not as distracting it allows us to concentrate more while still having a distraction.

Yes, I don't think I would be able to mod with Mythbusters in the background.

I watch Mythbusters while modding sometimes. But it's all episodes I've seen at least once anyway. At least until the next season.

Watch TV; if nothing is on, I throw in a Simpsons DVD.

I agree with snafusmith, distractions are needed when working with XML; it can be very tedious at times.

Okay, but the worst XML is when your dealing with some obscure part, like promotions, and you don't know that whitespace somewhere in the path to the promotion image causes all kinds of issues in game.... Took me forever to figure that out...

That crosses from tedious to frustrating. The worst was dealing for me was dealing with ArtStyles, of course that had more do with me being stupid and trying to get them to work while debugging.

I prefer more complex stuff than monotonous things like tedious XML (making flavored unit sets). The more repetative something gets the easier it is to screw up because you can easily find yourself glossing through very quickly and that can cause a lot of typos.
