Who else multitasks?

Generally can only PiP multitask with RPGs, but even some of those make it hard since both top corners require attention. They should have a PiP mode in all games.

We PIP'd the Superbowl a couple of years ago. I think it was the Pittsburgh-Seattle game. Had splitscreen Halo going with three people. Plugged in a fourth controller to make it even and had the game on in that corner.

PiP is pretty much the ultimate.

I go through major internet withdrawal when I visit relatives in the boonies or go on vacation.

I have Football Manager 2009 running on my laptop when I'm playing games or watching TV.

Can't PIP though, I'd never give up that real estate. I'd love an option to split the screen though :drool

There's no way I can PiP (especially during a game OMG YOU GENDER-TRANSCENDING FREAK MAF), but I can dual monitor at work.

Admittedly, I'm generally working on one task at a time though.

The trick really is to decrease the quality of all tasks

With Windows, it's real tough to do 2 things at the same time. It's too bad I can't something in one window without the other windows being paused. I'm surprised that someone hasn't made an app that can "fool" Windows into having multiple things "in focus" at the same time.

I don't have a lot of room to move in that regard. :(

My TV has 'tard PiP which only works with PC connection and rf connection.  This is completely useless since my Cable, Wii and 360 are all Component while my PS3 is HDMI.  I've always wanted true PiP.

I still mutlitask by listening to a podcast while playing a game (usually when grinding or doing a boring task that doesn't require my full attention)

I've never ever used PiP.

But as Hans above said I did listen to many podcasts, especially while playing WoW.

Wait a second... swagaz = Hans = snah = OPA = Private Hoffman?

what? fuck no

Hans from Die Hard, but I think he's mistaken since it's Ellis.  Could be confusing since both are rugged 80s men, it's the same scene, and it's a small dark gif.
