Any paticular gaming quirks you have, or odd things you do whilst gaming?

[A Playful Shark]

Instead of sitting on the comfortable futon i sit on the wooden chair around 5 feet in front of the tv.
I'm centered on the television and i just play better for some reason

 

[Composer]

then it comes to button mashing i use my index or middle finger......thats about it

 

[Adragon45]

whenever i am playing a fighting game and losing, I get up off of my bed without even realizing it.

 

[Voodoo_Person]

I tend to smack talk to the game if i keep losing, i also have to sit cross legged when im playing games, no matter what kind of game, even if my legs hurt from sitting cross legged for 3 hours straight

 

[Voodoo_Person]

also, i have to play a game with the sound effects up, i dont care about BGM, but sound effects need to be there or i seem to play worse

My curses get creative.

My curses get creative.

as do mine, they tend to get worse, and also more interesting the more annoyed i get

I constantly tap my feet to an imaginary beat if i'm really into the game and my palms also get sweaty. Oh yeah i also listen to my ipod if i'm playing any sports game.

 

[Blackdoom]

I sing random songs that I make up whilst I am playing games.

 

[Spiner909]

I reload a lot, like above posts, I also shake my hands when excited.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

If I'm doing some sort of high-speed movement or physics-based shot (i.e., pool or kart-racing), I tend to lean towards the side I want. Or even just tilt my non-motion-sensitive controllers in the direction I want to move.

 

[CrashBang]

Lately I'll have The Escapist or Facebook up on my laptop and EVERY TIME theres a loading screen or cutscene I'll glance at the laptop, when I should be paying attention to plot developments and whatnot. I have ADHD and this is a sign of it getting worse =[

 

[ThePuzzldPirate]

Reloading after kills automatically (only on competative multiplayer), occasionally with another bad guy right in front of me. I don't know what goes through my mind when i reload my gun with 9/10 of my ammo in it with a dude stood in front of me

I do the same thing, even if it takes forever and I still have 132 bullets in of 150. I also like chests and will stop playing until i get said chest.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

I take my shoes off and press the arc of my foot into the edge of the table in front of me and do like a nervous foottap motion inwards until it forces my entire leg to shake uncontrollably. Lol does anyone else know what i'm talking about? It's like a reflex pinch thing idk. Kinda cool though. Helps me focus sometimes. I've always done it as a kid, i just do it moreso nowadays when im vegging on the couch.

I do the same thing! I also always stand When I play games

 

[Satin6T]

I speak in tongues

one of my friends listens to the song roses when he plays Digimon: legends

 

[snowman6251]

Whenever I find an area with more than way to go I think "ok which way is the wrong way" and then deliberately go that way hoping I'll find treasure or something. If I end up going the right way I'll progress a fair bit then realize "shit I forgot to look for treasure" so I backtrack.

I also think out loud when pondering tactics, solutions to puzzles, etc.

EDIT: One more. I always save twice if I'm saving manually.

 

[Phase_9]

I listen to incongruous music. That's why I can't play FF games, I listen to cheesy songs, and with all the androgynous man-boys and hammy cinematics, the songs actually make sense

 

[Pegghead]

I give a running commentary. Sometimes in games like Bioshock it helps to relieve the tension.
