Has a video game or tv show ever distracted you from your comic?

[joannekwan]

Some days I'll get really interested in watching videos from certain people on youtube, and thus cuts down on my comic/art time. Like I've had days in the past where I didn't feel like doing anything but watch Nostalgia Critic or Phelous vids. Luckily I've exhausted most of their libraries now (at least the series that most interest me).

Watching my older sister play Overwatch when she comes over, distracts me from literally everything. I don't watch much t.v., but a good podcast that puts me on edge can distract me pretty badly. :s

Whenever I get distracted by a videogame, show, or anything, I always come back with fresh ideas that I could implement in my comic - in other words, I pick my distractions carefully.

Since this year started, I have watched Westworld, Runaways, The Good Place, Legion and The End of The F*** World. I also finished Guacamelee Super Turbo Championsip Edition and Blackwell Unbound.

I have written two strips worth of script.

Two.
Strips.

I feel doomed.

You just describe my life.

[Rochrok]

Yeah. I just finished playing the latest updates in swtor...after rerolling a sith Inquisitor to replay his class story again...now I'm thinking of playing Mass Effect again. I think I'm on a sci-fi kick these days. I'm trying to curb my habit by setting up a shedcule and a deadline for my comic.

....yes

[anitacomics]

All the time. I stopped putting interesting things in background when I draw, I mostly put stuff I've already seen

[indagold]

I don't know if this counts, been reading/watching juicy internet drama mostly more than working. Goddamnit why are strange people on the internet so darn fascinating.

[KSlinger]

Yep! This is why I don't play games anymore. I want to play the Witcher series and the new Assassins Creeds sooo badly but I know I'll loose months of drawing time if I do. Same with films. I went on horror film binge not long ago and now I'm stuck watching horror game walkthroughs. Curses!

takes deep breath

I PLAY POKEMON GO EVER YDAY! I PLAY POKEMON GO!~

[KoreanTacos]

I like RPGs and Fighting games so I actually have to set a timer for myself if I'm playing them when I have deadlines whether it's a comic update or a school assignment. If I don't then my entire day may end up being stuck being a Phantom Thief or beating the crap out of juggos in Dead or Alive

cough Breath of the Wild cough

[shaylafarley5]

Yes! I'm currently playing a game and watching 2 new animes that I haven't drawn any comic pages in 4 days.

[TadxSarah]

I don't watch tv much other then News and anime.

I do love video games though i always make sure i finish my comic work first.

We work on I love my yandere neko girlfriend every day and switch between one of our other 7 comics each day.

So basically we work on two comics a day, do our other responsibilities and then game the rest of the time which is about 5 to 6 hours XD

Some months ago, I rediscovered yu-gi-oh! and got into a game in xbox (which I am not so proud to have been playing since it's not really good). This made me took a hiatus for 4 months.

I'm the worst.

[KoreanTacos]

Have you tried Duel Links on the app store? That's a pretty good Yu-Gi-Oh game.

[Velome]

Wish I could! But my phone is not good enough to run the app.

[jojo01jc]

Every day of my life. Among my many other character flaws, procrastination reigns supreme.

[frostdrive]

I don't really play video games or watch TV/Shows but sometimes my little sister is next to me watching YouTube Kids shit and I get distracted just gawking at the horrible trash content.
