Inane time wasters

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Have you ever had the urge to do something so inane, so pointless, with little or no reward in a Video Game and you ask yourself: "Why the heck am I doing this?" Only to continue to attempt your goal despite the increasing frustration? If so, please share some of your latest endeavours! Feel free to also share what led you to doing it!

Currently, I am trying to catch a Feebas in Pokemon Platinum, I have tried for HOURS with no luck, yet I continue to do it. T_T I just want my own Milotic.

P.S. If someone has a bunch of extra Feebas lying around, and happen to want to be free of one, please contact me? Pretty please?

You shall receive Feebas

I have a whole box full of Feebas that I bred for my 'perfect Milotic'...that kind of flopped-- IV values weren't as good as I wanted them to be. They all know Splash, Surf, Ice Beam, and Mirror Coat as egg moves ;D

Anyway, yeah. Pokémon is a great time-waster.

I remember when I was really into Pokémon and I spent hours trying to catch some powerful thing using a normal ball.

I also played WoW.

I once decided to reach LV50 in Final Fantasy 1.
It was actually quite exciting until I was finished, when I suddenly was like "O...K...? And what now?". XD

It turned out that there was at least some sort of reason to do so - to fight Warmech.
I like when RPGs give you a clear reason to level up to the max - Final Fantasy X's Monster Arena is my favourite training ground so far, because even in the original Dark Aeon-free version you get guys like Nemesis.

My most recent endeavor was filling up the Almanac in Atelier Annie. In any game with a list of stuff, I have to fill it up. Am not satisfied with a ?????? in my list.

Did I ever mentioned that I love you?

@Namelessfengir: I remember trying to do the 200 lightening bolt dodge, I got to like 10 and gave up. -__-;

I once played Banjo Kazooie if that counts.

I really can't think of any recently. I suppose playing through Ace Combat Zero the full three times to play each level and trying to unlock the final one would probably be the thing I've been doing lately. I actually don't mind that so much though because Ace Combat is awesome and I do get to play some new levels by doing it.

[Vermachtnis]

I just remembered something, Ritapon from Suikoden IV. I don't want to think of how many hours I wasted playing that. In my defense it was fun.

There are some sports games that allow you to rename players. Several times, I spent hours just renaming players. It was pretty mindless I tell you, but it's better to have players named after people you know that having the default names. ;D

Let me know if you need anything else, I have a ton of spare whatever Pokémon.

Also if anyone else wants a Feebas or Porygon let me know and we can make arrangements :3

Doing the sidequests in Fallout 3. After awhile I just asked myself 'why I'm doing these repetitive quests over and over' and haven't bothered to beat the game since. : D

Oh man countless hours JP grinding in FFT just because I wanted that one perfect amalgamation of a character.

I almost have the Platinum Trophy in Killzone 2, all I need are the "weekly honor ranks". This is when you rank in the top 10, 5, 3, and 1% of any given week. I started doing it once and I just can't bring myself to do it. One game of spawn campers, even if you're on their side, is enough to ruin any multiplayer session in any game for me. 7 hours a day is around what it would take... I'm not sure if I can do that.
