okay now that just make the whole castle thing seem small scale, but still i don't know why they haven't done a Halloween epoides where he shows up with a suit of ODST on... anyone got his agents number this needs to happened.

Let's not forget that one Halloween episode, he WAS Malcolm Reynolds. So, the ODST thing is probably going to happen sometime.

if it does then he better be the trooper we know he is, trooper I need escort to location classified op (AKA his wife.) lol.
 
I do a number of things, but usually it involves Naruto just playing on loop or I chill on my stationary bicycle whilst doing my folds....
 
I marathon. Friends, Battlestar Galactica, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, That Seventies Show, King of the Hill, Scrubs. Comedy, Drama, Scifi, whatever I have. Strangely, I haven't included Simpsons, which is weird because there's a whole generation of them, which would kill plenty of time.

Also, theme music motivates me. Lord of the Rings, Batman, Halo, Call of Duty, Half Life. And classical music relaxes me, but I'm not well-educated enough to name them. I like piano music and violin the most.

Finally, and this is my weirdest one, Grand Theft Auto's radio talk shows. I've listened to Maurice Chavez from Vice City Public Radio's Pressing Issues program (GTA Vice City) around nine times now. I like the "Morality" episode.

Maurice: To protect the dignity of our other panelists, we've placed Mr Stark behind a divider.
Barry Stark: I'm naked back here. It's my right as a person.
Maurice (very condescendingly): Yeeesss....

All I can say is, thank God for YouTube. Pepping eats a stupid amount of time.
 
I have a variety of Pandora stations. Lately it has been my Halo station with the added variety of Boy Sets Fire, Empire of the Sun, and Seth MacFarlane. It's a great station that everyone should try.
 
I crack open a bottle of wine, or a case of beer, and listen to some techno wih a relatively slow beat (think Tron Legacy, when they walk into Castor's lair/nightclub, Daft Punk I believe) or maybe Skrillex and Deadmau5. I find the wine/beer keeps me sane when working on high def models, and the music keeps me working without realizing how long I've been at it.
 
...the music keeps me working without realizing how long I've been at it.

Yeah, before I know it my iTunes library runs out and I think to myself "wow, four and a half hours of my life passed folding paper" (I have a very crappy iTunes library lol)
 
59 hours of music for me, try this on for size on the week ends I'm working on props all day long and into the wee hours of the morning until I pass out... I'll get sleepy around AC/DC and wake up with distrueds another way to die... yeah then the whole day is daft punk, remixes, and several different types of techno, classical, and new age, with a little break with the hardcore and soft rock.

Nice selection. I did have over 1.2 days worth of jazz in my collection, but it pretty much killed my iPod (it's only an 8GB) so I took it off.
 
I tend to find myself listening to the Rooster Teeth Podcast, or just some music. That is, when I even am building pep anymore. I mostly have been doing eva foam builds lately, even for helmets. Pepakura is just too much work for my lazy self.
 
Usually, I tend to listen to rants and other interesting things on YouTube, and occasionally music. I've listened to the Halo full OSTs from almost all of the games, and listened to music from some of my favorite musicians, etc...

The rants I listen to are usually by SomeOrdinaryGamers, and AzuriteReactions. (I mostly listen to his streams thought.)

MediocreFilms tends to assist me with the armor while providing an occasional distraction, but what happens with Mediocre,(Greg) is that I've watched his videos before, than I remember how his videos go/what happens and than I imagine the video while I cut pepakura.

Another thing I do is also listen to Prank Calls and such, it really keeps me going with my pepakura work! I recommend OwnagePranks on YouTube, his calls are pretty good (His microsoft prank call is great!), and there is also FNC (FridayNightCranks). I tend to go with videos that don't require me to really look at them, but keep me amused just by listhening to them! I love how this kind of turned into a YouTube channel recommendation list XD.

But in all seriousness, I enjoy to listen to interesting topics that people rant about, and even listening to their points in why they think what they think about the topic, and in turn I really become enlightened about the subject and such and that just gives me the ability to keep going on with the Pep work and enjoy it more! I hope this somewhat helped you! I know it can be irritating to try and find ways to keep ones mind on task with such long winded work.

Really hope this helps some people!
 
Anything science-ish on youtube.

Been focusing on fusion technologies and astrophysics as of late whilst working on models.

i like all but Tyson... he killed a planet.
 
I listen to my wife watching Downton Abbey. It sounds a lot like the old radio programs my grandparents might have listened to when they were young. When everyone has gone to bed, I sit in silence. After all the noise of the day, and trust me there is A LOT if noise, its really relaxing.
 
I usually listen to the halo soundtracks while I build (have them all except Halo Wars and ODST). In fact I've heard them so much that I've pretty much memorized them (and in some cases the order in which they come... lol).
