I am as anxious as anyone on this forum to play the game…although waiting kinda makes me sad…but the longer in production…the better the game…just as long as its not tooo long in production…like duke nukem forever…but while waiting, i’ve been finding ways to cope…playing touhou and “I wanna be the guy” as well as revisiting my past games like F.E.A.R. and doom 3…sooo what 'bout you guys? 
taking bong hits and playing my old PS1 games.
hanging out with friends and taking more bong hits.
waiting for college to start again
etc
I could point out how stupid this thread and that you should regret making, but instead, I am going contribute.
I usually just fart around on Steam and Youtube while home, looking for a summer job. At other times I’m out and about with friends and even family sometimes. I only think about Black Mesa when I get on the computer because I usually sit in this forum or in the BMS chat.
The end.
One of my favorite pass times is to moderate nubs.
I have an improvised toolkit. >_>
Anytime I feel like I am gonna explode, I ban everyone in a particular thread.
I thought it was starting to feel lonely around here 
I should be getting danger pay for my moderation efforts.
Sigh. Ban 12, here I come!
Nothing, I just live my life normally while checking the forums regularly, but revision keeps me occupied at the moment.
So that explains it lol
O btw was this thread really necessary lol. Well if you really must know I play other games, socialize, work, and have lots of sex to pass the time. Its called having a life.
BM != life.
ways to pass time while waiting for black mesa : develop black mesa
If you’re gonna explode
you can use the commode
in igloos, cave dwellings or tents.
No need to explain
when you gotta drain!
Don’t wizz on the electric fence!
“Ways to cope”
Wow, it’s like someone died or something…
I slowly cry myself to sleep and dream of roaming the corridors of Black Mesa.
No. Not really.
I just play CSS and HL2.
OH OH! LET ME!
Ahem.
Preparing… Overly large font… [FONT=‘Arial Black’]CHECK. Large size… CHECK 2. Engaging bold boosters… [b]Bold engaged. Italicize and underline… [i][u]CHECK. Centered?

Now for the secret weapon… ENGAGING!
[COLOR=‘Magenta’]YOU DON’T NEED TO COPE![/align][/u][/i][/b][/SIZE][/FONT]
Here’s how I cope with BM not being released:
I have a life outside BM.
Lobotomy, electro shock therapy, etc
I cut my self to forget and then I get real sad.
My coping mechanism is called patience. You should try it some time.
