The most stupid of stupid "games"
The human mind is a complex thing (unless you're dealing with a KFC employee in which case it's not).
It seems to need near constant stimulus.
People forced into solitary confinement whilst incarcerated have been known to go crazy.
People need to keep their mind active.
It's "just the way it is".
Anyways i wanna know what random games people on GD play.
It'll be mind games mostly (although my prime example isnt).
Games to keep their mind active.
Anyways since i've gotten "older" my new game is "how many nose hairs can i pull out at the one time using just my fingers".
My current record is 5.
Obviously the more successful you get at this game the harder it is to beat your record.
It does keep me entertained.
Usually when i'm on my own.
To be honest it's not really the kind of game you play in "polite company".
It's not really a "team sport".
If i'm in town on my own i also sometimes play "guess the nationality".
You tend to need to live in a fairly "cosmopolitan" city for this to happen.
You also only really tend to see British, French and Spanish.
Well and Americans.
Americans don't really count points wise tho as they're so ****in easy to spot.
(You do get bonus points for distinguising Canadians from Americans tho).
Anyways.
Anyways anyways anyways.
Inform me of your own little games GD.
Inform away.
Enlighten me.

There is no 1, dammit, there can't be. It's all a conspiracy to keep the 'Taxi' brand in our minds 24/7. Next thing you know there'll be Taxi branded clothes, Taxi branded food, Taxi brand feminine hygeine products.

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
At a random point on my journey home (usually from work) I'll try to guess the number of women that "I would", that I'll encounter before reaching my road/home. So, depending on the route I'll know how ugly the usual inhabitants are, what type of commuters will be on the bus and then pick my magic number.
Obviously the rest of the journey is spent looking out of the bus/train/etc window like a leering disgusting old-man. I try to be honest, and keep a realistic tally.
If I am correct within 2-3 then I may buy myself something nice* for dinner, if not then I'll rely on Iceland frozen crap. Or some sort of other incentive.
* = Fried chicken.
(if you wish to make it more complicated then obviously you could rate every woman between 14-40 between 1 & 10 and try to guess the aggregate 'score' instead)

None that I'm consiously aware of, rather I go crazy when it is constantly occupied. I feel most at peace with an empty mind.

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
I always have these short strings of elastic on my desk and try to guess how far you can pull them before they snap.
Now come to think of it this has already kept me busy for about 2 months... damn I'm sad.

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
I try to think of a word which uses all three letters (in order) from the last part of car number plates. It's quite difficult because there are loads of plates around with Q V W X in the last letters.
I also play sudoku regularly (at the weekend i completed my first ever 5star difficulty Daily Mail mini-sudoku).

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
I make a game out of masturbating in public. I keep a weekly scorecard on the back of my bedroom door and award myself points for various places - 50 for a bus, 100 for a train, 500 for a church, and so on. I'll also have a system of penalties; -100 if I have to stop before ejaculation, -300 points for getting caught, etc. If I break 1000 points for the week then I'll buy myself something nice, but if not, I'll make myself drink 150ml of sperm as a punishment.
But in terms of things which I actually do and amn't just making up, I'll sometimes pretend that there is someone else in my head looking out my eyes, and let them watch my life. I also do varients of Dante's girl thing but not quite so systematic; its normally "Will I see more than 5 in the next 5 minutes?" and the like.

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
I try and make the shortest word possible using the letters out of car registration plates, adding as few letters as possible.
For example, if a registration was P147 LTA, you have to add an E to make Plate
its incredibly shit and boring, and worse still, it gets stuck in your mind. When you live by a window looking at the same parked cars every day

Similarly, the shortest word you can make from the final three letters, which must be kept in that order. (Eg, BKR could be broker, but not brick)

You seem to have forgotten this is a thread about stupid games, going crazy isn't one of those.
Unless your game is to find sympathy amongst strangers. If so then

You look at your watch (or someone else's) when no one else is looking, THEN look at the sun
Recently I've found Su Doku is quite fun, but I've learnt to use a pencil or I make quite a mess with little numbers all over all the little squares.
Often I catch myself making little games/ problems in my mind to keep me entertained, but they're fairly random. I remember once walking down a road with street lights, and noting when I'd crossed invisible "lines" between the lights on either side of the road.

If you knew how to read then you would have read Dace's original post about "keeping sanity."

Re: The most stupid of stupid "games"
I can't think of any right now, but I must say Dante's girl game is a good idea and I'll probably play that next time I make a fairly long walk home.
Dace's game is just masochism.
