Most of the times im playing a game im listening to a podcast. I get to play my games and listen to them at the same time.

Does anybody else listen to podcasts while playing their games

I did that once and didn't like it because I wasn't able to concentrate on the podcast. Instead I was concentrating on the game and not listening to the podcast lol.

It deffinetly depends on what game. I can do it while playing uno or texas hold 'em but not with something like Halo 2 or any other FPS.

I listen whilst travelling, so I can just gaze idely anywhere and concentrate on the podcast. If I listen to podcasts whilst playing games I find about 5 minutes into the game that i've just remembered; the podcast is still playing!

I lose concentration from the podcast.

It depends what game I am playing. ONLY GeoWars, I can play successfuly and listen to podcasts.

Perhaps XBLA, non-multiplayer games may work for you.

Depends on the type of game; with a racing, puzzle or sports game I might listen to a podcast. Otherwise, it's no distracting.

Whenever I play single player where it doesn't involve hearing my surroundings then yes. For example, Saints Row single player I always listen to podcasts.
