Strange/Unusual ways you play your favourite games?

Trigun rules! *ahem* Back on topic, on The Sims, I killed my family of 2 men, a woman, and a kid. The men died in two separate fires, the woman drowned in a pool (along with a character of my sister's, who decided to walk over and jump in the pool), and the kid got sent to military school.

Melee only tf2 server. No wait, make that to Ubersaw only tf2 server.

I play the green note with my thumb in Guitar Hero, and I can play on Expert. I didn't realize I was playing wrong until someone told me.

 

[Proto Cloud]

You guys don't have very strange methods of playing do you? Hell, I can play TF2 with my cock. I got 2 headshots so far.

All (terrible) jokes aside, I tend to make victory shouts every time I get a headshot. I also like using melee kills to humiliate opponents in TF2.

Sounds a lot like our old jousting, my friends and I would only play on blood gulch though, and it was a desperate scramble to get vehicles. In a 'hog or a tank you couldn't use the gun but you could run people over, and the people on foot only had grenades to work with. Some crazy times there I tell you what.

I played Bioshock with nothing but a wrench. Nerf teh wrench.

 

[Hatman Jam]

In Brawl, my friends and I turn our heads 180 degrees and play upside down on the Spear Pillar stage when the pokemon in the back feels like flipping the screen.

Halo Jousting.
1. choose your weapon, prefrably something like a rocket launcher. Sniper riftle if you want to make it interesting. Even grenades and melee work.
2. set the health bars on low. Makes it more interesting.
3. run at the other person on a count. when you reach a certain, predetermined point between you, fire.

Really? My version involves riding on the back of a mongoose (Halo 3, obviously) and using swords, and when you get bored, you switch to gravity hammers. Also, I created a mode involving weak active camo, motion detectors with a shortened range and swords + sniper rifles. Makes for a fun game of 1 on 1, I can tell you.

one of my favorite pastimes used to be in Assassins Creed. During exam week i'd need something to do during study breaks that wouldnt get my remotely excited. So i would put in Assassins Creed, and walk around like i WASN'T a super agile badass.

Basically, i would put on some soft music (i HIGHLY recommend A Perfect Circle). and limit myself while playing to not use the right trigger for travelling, from the very start. that way i'd be used to walking speed and wouldnt get impatient. Also, not getting in a fight or anything, and if climbing, use ladders whenever possible, and not taking any extreme jumps.

I'd walk around the cities, looking like a normal person, and i'd occasionally spot one of the dudes you can pickpocket, and i'd try and pickpocket him really sneakily. Or i'd occasionally climb up a building (via ladder only), casually hop from roof to roof, and try to stealthily kill an archer.

The game is really pretty to look at if you just slowly walk your way around.
-Oh, and also i like to play Tony Hawk Project 8 (the new one might work as well) and turn the "speed" setting down to like 2, so that ollie-ing a 2 step staircase was a feat. realism kicks ass!

I don't suppose saying that I play Portal without any pants on counts...?

 

[Anton P. Nym]

I know some guys who played Halo 2 with the Guitar Hero controllers for a lark. Hilarity ensued.

[Jamash]

I play FPS' on my PC using a control pad, not mouse+keyboard, does that count?

 

[patente101]

Dance Dance Revolution on Easy... but keeping your feet together and only using jumps. My friends and I have gone through many, many dance mats with this.

 

[SlayerV]

I play Oblivion without saving to make it more like Nethack and the like. Makes you value your life more.

 

[SteinFaust]

Back when I was younger a friend and i would make houses in the sims with only children living in it to see what would happen. Some man would show up and never leave was the answer..

lmao was this man dressed as a giant bear? did he approve?

sadly, there was no seal of approval.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! something is drastically wrong here! D:

 

[buggy65]

My friend kicked my ass at Starwars Battlefield 1 (ps2)... While only using his feet.
I'm an average gamer, He's just better (plus he's got big feet).

 

[xXGuitarShredXx]

Sometimes i play Guitar Hero with my left hand (im right handed), also i try to play songs behind my back like SRV.

 

[Kira042]

I play fighting games with a dance pad

 

[Liam Wolfy]

I go into a hospital on GTA4 and continually blow people to bits.

I use lots of guns blowing up lots of cops, and I experiment on people with different fighting and shooting techniques!

I also play my games naked most of the time.

 

[Beatzdawg]

Probably not that unusual but I play condemned in the dark to add effect.
