If there are multiple ways to go, I always try to take both ones in the end. God of War tested me on this, by having quite a few paths to go at times.

I temporarily set the difficulty down one notch when I really can't beat an area, and then when I've killed the final boss I realise why he was so easy :p I never remember to turn it back up.

*Threat over, Reload*

Even if my Rifle is 29/30 I will still reload it as soon as I don't see anything that is deemable as a threat on my screen. It's a muscle reflex, I swear.

I also have a habit of crouching to shoot, regardless of weapon.

Whenever I meet an NPC I don't like, and I'm able to, I quick-save. I proceed to kill them, laugh, and quick-load. Then I decide whether to kill them "for real" or not.
This!
Also, your auto-reload after killing someone. I do it on online FPS's too. Really, REALLY not a good idea there. Like really, really, really, REALLY not a good idea.

I like seeing in what ways I can kill myself. Mostly by jumping from high things into high things. I also like doing suicide runs by holding a grenade and running into the enemies. (GTA4, RDR)

I never kill animals in any game when it isn't neccesary. I run away or sneak around dogs. And I also reload after every enemy, and for some reason I use weapons that don't need ammo(crowbar, wrench, gravity gun) the most

I have constant reload syndrome. I will reload after every kill and sometimes during a firefight. In Borderlands (ad other FPS games) I will walk straight at the enemy while shooting. I hate taking cover and I actually survive a good deal of the time. I also run past an area full of enemies if I've gotten stuck there, you can usually get past it within three tries.

If there is a jump button in the game at points I will spam the hell out of it, leaping and bounding across the game world for what amounts to absolutley no reason.
I became a master of acrobatics in Oblivion before I had even finished half the quests.

Likewise I too, always have to reload after a kill in a shooter. I just always feel I need a full clip.

I also always take the 'good' side in games with a moral choice system. Plus in games like Mass Effect I always make the same or similar decisions because I see it as something like a movie and therefore think it should always play out the same.

I generally use the same controls/buttons (Arrow keys and the buttons around that area) for every FPS/TPS game I play.

It proves rather interesting when in Crysis you frantically press a button that is crouch in MW2 and it makes you jump in Crysis. Fun times :)

I always use female fighters when first starting out a 1-on-1 fighting game. I'm just better with them: Chun-Li, Sakura, Talim, Epon...

an alternate take on chronic reload syndrome...

I have to have an even amount of ammo in my weapons, to the point where if the max ammo capacity is odd, i'll reload and then fire off a round

Quick save. Quick save. Quick save. Quick save. Quick save.

More quick save.

*crashes game from quick saving so much*

And when I used to play WoW, I did the same thing the OP did. Crawl into bed, /sleep, and cuddle up with my giant fuzzy spider before logging out.

Oh, and I'm a bit of a klepto in games that let me steal. Jesus, you should have seen my house in Oblivion... There was no need to have 5000 forks, but god damnit I NEEDED them!

I shoot questgivers, who annoy me even the slightest.

of course only In games where this is possible.
Otherwise.. quicksaving like a maniac.

deviating from the mq to find collectibles. Ex. the feathers in Assassins Creed 2 were more important to me than the resolution of Ezio's revenge quest.

I always read the manual cover to cover before starting a game. I always over level and I always have to reload, even if I have only shot one bullet.

I usually only save my Pokemon games in Pokemon Centers, though that stems from experience with Pokemon Stadium for the N64.
I do that too, for the same reason :D I love Pokemon stadium.

If an NPC is innocent or just some generic bystander, I will do everything in my power to keep them alive. Even if it has no impact on the game, I'll go out of my way and reload a save eight times if I have to.

Also (in Morrowind, at least): Any time I kill someone, I strip them nude and place their clothes right beside them before walking away. I find it morbidly funny to think of some crazed guy who would go through all the trouble when they don't plan to do anything else with the body (i.e. no implied necrophilia).

If a boss appears right after a save point, I ALWAYS have to land the first hit. If the boss hits me first, I will automatically reload my game.

If I'm playing against someone in the same room, I tend to yell really loud in a grungy voice at videogames whenever, even though I'm usually not that angry. If I'm playing alone and I keep losing, I talk to videogames in a whimpery voice. "Gak-argabluh- aww c'moo-oo-ooon... Why you gotta be like that? That- that ain't cool, man.... whyyyy..."
