Weird habits you have during playtime?

[Scizophrenic Llama]

Any game that has the ability to roll or jump [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnnecessaryCombatRoll] I tend to do those over walking/running. Half the time rolling gets me to where I am going faster.

Then there is my compulsive need for a full clip of ammo, and Uncharted 2 has made me notice it every time I don't have the ammo to refill a clip and I compulsively hit the reload button and nothing happens. I *need* those two bullets man, they'll save the world.

I am better at RTS's if I am playing Bob Dylan in the background.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

I'm developing a (in my opinion) perfectly rational hatred of the sound of a shotgun slaughtering me in one hit in COD.

 

[The Lugz]

not really, i tell bad things to die regularly or to stop being annoying, like they can hear me eh..

or threaten / intimidate inanimate objects that don't do what i want in games, such as switches doors, cars, you know.. 'stuff'

never had any relationship with a game though, no

 

[Korak the Mad]

I play with nearby objects during loading-screens. And since Half-Life 2: Episode 2 has loading-screens-galore, I've developed some sort of friendship with my hockey-stick after grudgedly stiddling about with it waiting for Gordan Freeman to snap out of his coma of loading.

And, I reload. ALOT. Even if I'm only missing 1 bullet. I'm either obsessive-compulsive, or extremley-paranoid...

I do that as well, along with saving ALOT, almost anytime I can, or I'll run back to a save point whenever I get even the smallest upgrade.

Also I tend to make remarks that you would think the character would say.

 

[Tartarga]

I have this thing where i'll stand up during a difficult sequence in a game, and i'll keep standing even after it's over without realizing it.

 

[Randomorific]

If I ever fire a single shot weapon in MW2 like the FAL or magnums etc I always bite my lip, but not when I use sniper rifles strangely.
I jitter my legs a lot in games like GTA and Just Cause 2 when it takes forever to get somewhere and I absolutely must reload constantly as many people do.
I also find myself jumping rather than running in Oblivion for some strange reason, probably because I think I go slightly faster if I do.
Also if I'm not talking to anyone in game or party chat I tend to mutter under my breath, even when others are in the room, many friends have pointed me out on this as they say its very annoying but I don't seem to notice doing it. Erm yeah thats it I think.

When I play Street Fighter 4 online, I talk smack to my opponents all the time... I don't have a headset.


I used to be a quicksave addict. I've gotten a bit better in recent years, but there was a time when I would quicksave every 20 seconds. It was especially bad in FPS games. Killed an enemy? Quicksave. Enter a room? Quicksave. Oh, there's treasure in the room? Well, get the loot, then quicksave - don't want to reload and accidentally forget to to take the items again. I seldom used the saves, though, even if a fight went really bad. It's was a security blanket, knowing that if something happened, I wouldn't lose significant progress.

 

[Shadie777]

I constantly reload my gun every time I kill an enemy.
I always check an area for items, no matter what(there might be a horrible monster in the room with me, it does not matter to me, there are items that need to be collected).
I sometimes talk to myself, a habit which I am getting better at controlling.

 

[Rooster893]

I have to hum along with the sountrack, or else I'll get a headache.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with me?

 

[Sandjube]

Singing. All the time. Incessantly. I don't have the best voice, but people on skype don't tell me to shut up like they do others, so it can't be that bad. C=

 

[ChiUnit4evr]

I'm typically playing shooters, but I have a very specific way to sit on the edge of my bed, feet about 2 feet apart, elbows rested on knees. I don't know why this is, but I play all my online shooters this way. Also I multitask pretty hardcore. I'll be playing CoD or something and whenever I die, I'll glance down at my laptop and see if anyone has posted anything on FB or at some forums.

 

[XIII's Number XIV]

I yell stuff. Or at characters if they/I screw up. Some examples include:

"Zero, you miss that block ONE MORE TIME and I swear I'm gonna castrate ya."
"Arrrrgh Xemnas! Stop shooting meh!" (during his boss fight)
"Meow Ammy/Wesker!" (when I'm calling in an assist - MvC3)
"(insert huge crazy laugh here)"
"DIE." (usually during Hyper Combos)
"Pew pew pew!" (shooting magic/missles)

...and the like. Drives my mom crazy.
