Lifehack: Listen to audiobooks while gaming

[Ice Cold]

I listen to podcast while I game but if the game is engrossing I lose my concentration and can't remember the podcast.
I imagine it'd be worse with a book

 

[Rice N Beans]

I do podcasts while gaming all the time, haven't done audiobooks.

I do the same.. Though the Bill Burr podcast can be counter productive sometimes.

Will work on games where you can just run around like a madman brainlessly

I primarily listen to audiobooks in the car. I couldn't imagine listening to them while gaming. If you are doing it just for background noise, sure, but if you are doing it to actually comprehend the audio, I can't see it. Podcasts make more sense to me though. I may give that a try.

When I use to play WoW and I would go out to farm mats, since I was an engineer, I would primarily listen to 808's and Heartbreaks. I didn't care for that album until I started listening to it while playing WoW. Not it's one of my favorites.

having things read to you doesnt better your intellect/comprehension. I stick to actually reading

Never had a comprehension problem with audiobooks. I also pause the game and take notes while listening

Yup like Broforce or Hotline Miami

Doesn't better Your Intellect.

It betters mine.

 

[Wiles]

Better idea.

Listen to pdf files with @voice while gaming.

App will read pdf files to you on your phone.

I usually have on headphone in my ear with my headphones on so I can hear information while I Rekt

If you can't comprehend information by listening to the same book you'd otherwise read I think the faggit that's retarded? is you're bytch ass.

i listen to music, podcasts or interviews while playing multiplayer but an audio book might be too distracting, especially if it's one i'm really interested in. i'm one of those readers that get tunnel vision and focused on a book if i'm really into it.

This was gonna be my response, I usually do a lot of rewinding and taking little notes on audiobooks. I do the same with hard copies of books too, notes in the margins like crazy. I swear by that ish.

I like gaming but I also want to keep reading books. Reading and gaming simultaneously clearly doesn't work. But listening to an audiobook while gaming works for certain games.

For me it works for games like:
Rocket League
Broforce
Super Meat Boy
Hotline Miami
So now you can keep up with your book smart while gaming

Someone else doing this?

yup but it only works with games that don't require a lot of extra thinking or reading, so you can pretty much play on autopilot

Terraria was the GOAT game for this. i used to have articles to read for my masters and would just have my mac read them to me while playing the game. I had a pretty good retention rate too.​
