What the title says. Recently I've been playing Monster Hunter Generations (Late to the party, I know) and it's such a cool fucking game. I haven't really given myself time to play different vidya and what-not just out of guilt, but I now genuinely think that it's good to do things like that in order to give yourself time to recharge. Playing it has sparked some cool shit in my brain.

If you still want to work while you play, analyze what you're playing. There's so much cool shit to look at in the game: animations (REALLY heavy and fluid animations), weapon designs (many of the weapons have pop, lock, and switching motions/mechanisms that make the designs believable. I'm sure Capcom had some great concept artists on their team for this one), armor designs (really mimic the design of the monster it was made from), and the monsters themselves (Other than them looking cool as hell, their form follows their function very well), Those are just examples of stuff I've picked up.

And of course, it doesn't have to be a game necessarily; it could be a show, book, etc. but goddamn it helps, amigos. Breaks are the next best thing since sliced bread. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ノ
