Yes, I'm a newb (joined on the 13th) and I am working my way through the coliseum to level up my dragons, and of course get some of those shrooms! It is fun for a while but it gets to be SO boring at times that I can't take it anymore!! arg ITS SO SLOW!! *cough*
I bet that you guys watch series or listen to music while you do this, and I don't have a TV so I work with option 2.
I noticed that listening to motivating music helps me "survive" my coli sessions, so I would like to share with you guys some of the motivating music I listen to and if you guys could suggest any bands/songs that help YOU through the coli would be a great help for me :3 (I have a varied taste in music, so feel free to share any genre) I'm kind of tired of listening to the same thing... every day... for hours TT_TT
My suggestions:
1. Warriors- Imagine dragons (because, come on... its awesome)
2. Doomsday- Atreyu (to wake up)
3. Slightly left of centre- Love the way you move (happy mood even if the lyrics aren't, and the videoclip is totally worth it)
4. Stuck in the sound- Let's go
5. Funeral for a friend- all the rage (if you like screamo and stuff its fun!)
6. Bun dem -by Skrillex and Damian Marley ( Dubstep/reggea? because why not)
Go ahead and post your list! Entertain me!!!! Dx

I don't watch shows on the tv while grinding, it's all on my computer, recently I've ran out of things to watch so I haven't been coli grinding at all. Music isn't enough of a distraction to keep me entertained it seems. ^-^;
BUT, I will suggest Mystery Skulls. They just released their first album and I've been listening to it on loop. Techno dance and man do I feel like dancing!!

I usually try to sit through a whole album at least once when I grind. Daft Punk's Discovery was my jam last week, but I'm currently listening to Mystery Skulls as well due to getting totally hooked by that one video for Ghost (you'll know it when you see it, trust me.)
I also recommend Studio Killers! They've got an album out with the same name as the band, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. :x If you're lookin' for a jammin' beat, Cherry's got you covered!

I listen to audio books, for pleasure or for Uni.

Echoing audio books, and adding podcasts (I especially like drama/story ones) and podfics (though there are a lot of badly recorded ones out there, a ton of them are great, too).
And for tv, I zoom the Coli window way out so it's about half the size or so, then have the tv show I'm watching on the majority of my screen. Not perfect, but I've watched a ton of shows like this and it works pretty well! I recently had to switch browsers because having both open in the same browser caused both to lag, though. Now I watch the tv in Firefox & play the Coli in Chrome.
I've also read a book at the same time as grinding, but that only works if you're in an area you're completely safe in. I also didn't enjoy the book as much as usual, so I don't really recommend it - but it is possible!
Finally, I find it more entertaining if I'm collecting data while farming/leveling if I'm not doing one of the other things. There are several data collection projects in the Guide forum if you're interested - things like tracking how many times each monster group shows up, or what drops you get.
