My team has to be the same level or within one level of each other during RPGs and pokemon games.
What's your habit in games?

I corner sweep. Even in RPGs, my exploration method is really just an extension of corner sweepeing. That's about it.
Compulsive reloader over here as well. I can really screw myself over when I use an lmg in a game where you can't cancel reloads.
I tend to try and keep my mags in shooters fully loaded. I tend to gravitate towards close combat over ranged when the option is present and is at least semi-useful (and sometimes when it is not I do it for teh lulz).
In strategy games (I.E. Total War because all of the C&C style build up your base bollocks are not my style, I am a warlord not a city planner) I tend to favor more medium troops instead of a few elites or hordes of low level mooks. I also prefer to have good cavalry and usually just enough of an archer brigade to keep myself from being shot to hell as I move in to do what I do best.

The dreaded "But I might need it later" syndrome effects us all.Hikaru CF said:
In team games, I almost always try to pick classes that help out my team. That being stuff like healers in MMOs, medics in TF2, support in MOBAs, etc.
Otherwise, I generally have a tendency to play somewhat safe, yet aggressive. I don't like taking blind risks and thus putting myself in bad situations unless I have to. That being said, I always try to put as much pressure as possible on the opposing team/player, and if I see an opening where I can fuck someone's shit up (and do it with style), I never hesitate to do so.

I tend to narrate what I'm doing, for example if I'm playing an fps I'll be like "okay lets just stop here for a sec and reload". I even ask myself questions mainly when I've done something stupid or made a mistake, I'll ask myself stuff like "what did you that for?" or "what were you thinking?"
So yeah thats what I tend to do in games.

I always stick to one decision-making path in RPGs. There's a wealth of options and I almost always pick the same ones. What can I say? I'm a creature of habit.
I tend to do contradictory things. A perfect example would be in the Elder Scrolls games.
I had just finished going through a dungeon without being seen by anyone, taking as much stuff as I can, stealing from their chests and the enemies themselves. I sneak into the final room, assassinate the boss, hide until they stop looking for me, and then proceeded to kill everyone I let live on my way out. For some reason, if I'm going into a place, I won't let anyone see me. If I'm leaving a place...Everyone dies.

Hello you two, I'm a cumpulsive "the ammo in reserve must be perfectly divisible by the size of my clip."Aircross said:
A couple in MMOs...
First, I have a set of characters I play in every game. I wouldn't say I roleplay, but I project a very basic personality on them. The one of those I end up playing the most is female. Not sure how it turned out that way but whatever - I'm not my character.
Second, I don't play ranged characters - period. It just doesn't feel right unless there's mace to face action involved.
Third, I hate being pinned down to just one role. The holy trinity thing (tank, healer, dps) is pretty boring by now - I've seen it since my first Everquest character in 1999. I really liked my offhealer Cleric in Rift for that reason - you're following all the cues of a melee dps in a raid, but also keeping an eye out for big DPS spike events to perfectly time that raid heal. It keeps things interesting, and multitasking like that proves difficult for a lot of people, making me feel valuable.
Lastly, I jump while running for whatever reason. I also run in circles, usually while jumping, if nothing is happening. Easily bored much?

I have ADSS: Aim Down Sights Syndrome
I can't play a shooter without aiming down sights. I've never been able to hip fire worth a damn, so I never started trying.
Edit: I also have a reloading habit. I always like to know that I have enough ammo in the gun to survive the next person.

-Save. A LOT
-Like Red Shift, I narrate sometimes too. Mainly if I did something wrong, I might yell "what the hell are you doing?!" As if blaming my character when I'm the one really controlling it...
-I pick up everything. Even the useless items I might not need.
-In RPGs, overlevel.

When you boot up a game, and the company logos come up? I will spam every button on the controller trying to skip it, even if I know you can't.
I'm also guilty of saving a lot. My Skyrim save folder was somewhere upwards of 5gb until I recently cleared it out. I think I developed this habit from when I used to run like 200+ mods for Fallout 3 and there was almost a 20% chance my game would crash whenever I transitioned between cells, so I near constantly spammed the quicksave button.
I used to have the same problem as many others with reloading right after a kill, but I've trained myself out of it now and I do a lot better now. I usually get into cover or something before reloading, or will even run around with the minimum amount of bullets I need to kill someone in my magazine if there is a lot of people around at the time.

This. Especially for big name games that have been advertised for months at a time. "I KNOW WHO MADE THE DAMN GAME! I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING IT SINCE DAY ONE!!!!" Not so much for smaller games though. I like to see who made them so I can accurately give praise and criticism where due. Funny thing, those are the ones that usually allow you to skip the logos.FateOrFatality said:
Yes, I have some line, along the lines of "but I am considering a very late abortion," stuck in my head. It's possibly form The Venture Brothers.henritje said:
I also remembered the following:
- Metagames in Multiplayer: 'Pacifist,' 'Help, a key is stuck,' 'I'm a little dispenser, short and stout, this is my medkit and this is my ammobox'
