Habits You Got From Video Games?

[GoldenRaz]

I'm a police officer, and shout "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" at people before I chase them down and arrest them.

Nah...I wish...

I do too. I wouldn't be so hard to chase down though, since I'd be laughing too hard to move.

I've almost completely stopped saying "Oh my god" in favor of Kratos' line "By the gods". But that was by choice, so it might not count.
Gah, I can't think of anything fitting, it's simply too unconscious for me to recognize, if it's there at all.

I can't hold a gun (real or fake) without thinking I'm in an FPS. I also played laser tag recently and I kept hugging the chest high walls

 

[AVeryDrunkPanda]

Nothing too unusual, but sometimes people say I have twitchy spastic motions, which I imagine is likely from my paranoid habit of turning around in TF2 to check if there's a spy behind me.

You turn around a lot.. a lot.. a lot..

Also, while not entirely game related, I have a habit of tapping my Thumb and End fingers to a beat.. sometimes to a theme from a game, usually when I'm impatient or waiting for a map to load.

I sometimes mistake Wiimotes for guns. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98944-Child-Must-Have-Thought-a-Gun-Was-a-Wii-Remote-Mother-Says]

It used to be worst back in the day with the authentic-looking light guns for Area 51 and time Crisis...

I tend to say indeed a lot if I agree with someone, not sure if I picked it up from games or from very very strange ventrilo conversations.

At fourteen I'm playing Earthbound for the first time, cut to ten years later and I'm on tour with my band dumpster diving for cheeseburgers. COINCIDENCE?!? Okay, we were sorta broke so that factored in too.

Speaking with accents. I can do a good russian and british accent.

You see, that's why school shootings are blamed on gamers.

On topic:
I picked up 2 german words from wolfenstein:enemy territory :
1.Jawohl! (A word no german below 50 uses)
and
2.The word and the wrong pronounciation of the word "Wunderbar" (the english voice actors pronounced it like "wonderba" )

(btw i'm a german myself)

Off topic but, 1) what is your avatar and 2) is she semi-naked?

 

[Banana Phone Man]

People might normaly do this but I now make a habit of making sure that the door is always closed behind me. I have also quoted Warcraft 3 sometimes.

It's from a manga and I gues she is a bit half naked :< is that bad?

 

[traineesword]

i tend to whistle tunes from games and stuff. but thats about the limit. I never do anything in public, just incase someone else happened to play the game and can understand that i'm acting like a pillock. With my friends though, we will sit and pull quotes and movements from games that we like.

people mentioned paranoia, that comes to me too... urrrm, if i've picked up anything, its how to do quick 180 degree turns, but frequently do i find myself doing that!?

I used to say "Prostagma!" or "Voolio!" from Age of Mythology whenever someone asked me to do something, much like the Greek citizens from the game.
Also, thanks to racing games, I always brake around turns until I cut the apex, and then I slam on the accelerator.

Hhready Fhor Werk
It's like it shouldn't roll off the tongue like that, but it does.

No, it's just kinda hard to tell with avatar pictures being this small.

Hah! I did that too.

I'm not sure if I do stuff like that nowadays though. I probably say a random game quote occasionally but I can't remember which ones...

 

[DreadfulSorry]

I don't really have habits per-se from video gaming. I do tend to be a bit jumpy or twitchy after I play games like silent hill or condemned, etc. I also tend to dream about the games I've been playing (I've had a few bioshock-esque dreams lately).

Ooh! That actually makes me think. In literary arts, a friend and I used to do the invisible hand-gun motions from across the room when we were bored. Then I started doing the heavy weapons guy's quick draw taunt during class.
It was one of the few classes I took where we could be weird and not be looked at for being strange.
