Anyone else get worse when being watched or playing with friends?

Yeah, a bit.
When my friends and I run out of things to do, I generally start playing UMvC3. They watch, and I can never seem to do combos that, alone, I could do in my sleep. It sucks.

Depends on the game. Someone watching me play MW3 is treated a spectacular fail fest. Another watching me play Arkham City is awed by my Batskillz.
Yes. When just piddling around I do well, but when I try to do the same thing I was doing just fine for show I end up buggering things up.
If I am facing off with them in combat, I tend to ease up on them to keep the fight close. Nobody enjoys a 1-sided match, even if I am the winner.

I actually become much better. I usually play games like COD with my brain on 'off', but when somebody is watching me play (and isn't familiar with the game itself) I explain every action I make, and this makes me much more conscious and attentive.
For example, whereas I might normally run absentmindedly into a building, I now say: 'there might be someone in that building, so I'm throwing a grenade in there. The end result: I play better.
