In RPG's i always name my first character by my name and am usually a big dick head. Don't know when this started.
Have Any Gaming Traditions?

I play WoW for roughly four months, and then I take around twelve months off. I usually end up coming back a few months after an expansion (two months after Burning Crusade came out I got the expansion, and then five months after Wrath I got that).
I also uninstall my entire Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War collection after two months of having it installed, and then ten months later I'll reinstall it. I don't know why, maybe it's to give me the fresh start on the Dark Crusade campaign (which I love), yet sadly I don't own Soulstorm... I should buy that some day.

If it's a new game then I have a checklist for the first experiencing of it.
Nice strong IPA, 3 bottles.
Nice strong weed, bowl to the head before starting game.
Nice set of headphones way to loud.
All lights off and phone set to silent.
I use a combination of intoxicants, sensory deprivation, and comfy seating to draw me into a game. If that doesn't work (FEAR, Gears of War) the game ain't worth my time.
That's right, I was buzzed and stoned to the be-jesus when playing FEAR and I still thought it sucked.

I always must beat a game on the hardest difficulty before I allow myself to play online multiplayer. I bend this for some offline stuff(for instance, I don't own Halo 3 and can't expect everyone to let me run through it several hour campaign first,) but never for online. Those damn grenades in WaW kept me off of Xboxlive for a while.
In games like KoToR where there's a distinct good and bad side, I always make one character with two save slots to have one for evil and one for good.
In Pokemon, I always level up inbetween towns in units of five. Inbetween the first town and the second, my starter will be ten before I walk to it, and that pokemon is then kept as the bar for the remainder of the game unless I come to a point where I must level up even more.

1. I play through the castlevania games (the oldschool ones) in an arbitrary order on Halloween. Any time left over is spent on Zombie's Ate my Neighbours. Usually I have friends over, we wear a random assortment of costumes. And swear at trick or treaters in German. (Yes, this is what I did while you guys went out and got candy as a child)
2. Play through the hardest difficulty of Donkey Kong Country with the "merry" cheat turned on as well, on Christmas.
3. I don't believe in an "easy mode" and as such will never play using one.

And come on, does Bible Adventures really suck all THA... yeah, yeah it does. It was pathetic. In every sense of the word.
But hey, on the bright side, at least my grandparents TRIED, right?
With many of my favorite games there is one major tradition. Grind-on!
Then I grind until it's time for bed. Gotta love that grinding!
Also, I don't really have a playing tradition but I always look forward to the fall/winter lineup of games for the holidays. Some months in the summer as I circle Gamestop just looking for anything interesting I look at the scheduled releases and dream of December.

September 3rd was USA's Birthday for Final Fantasy VII. as the usual, I started a new game.
Also, my friends and I listen to Guns n Roses when we play Gears of War. Dunno why, we feel it just fits the game best.

Anytime I'm done gaming for the day I always boot up Geometry Wars 2 and play it for an hour or so.
Around every Christmas, I get the urge to play a Final Fantasy game. Probably because the first one I actually owned and beat was given to me as a Christmas gift.
ETA: And for some reason, whenever I start Portal, I play it through. To the very end. Every time with rare exceptions.
