Your gaming quirks

[Zeke the Freak]

In an FPS, if I have the option, I will ALWAYS try to ambush my enemies with melee rather then use guns. I also like to talk to people im playing with (wheather its online, split screen or, if Im alone, just the TV) in voices that corrispond with the game Im playing. Ill also spout one liners and try to be as dramatic as possible. And if I run out of bullets, I will always go kamikazi and try to blow up as many of my enimies as possible, even though it wont make a difference when I have to restart the level.

What are your gaming quirks? Games you love that everyone else despises, or something you like to do while gaming that nobody else does.

Mine is that I bought Unreal Tournament 3 to play with bots, and do not play it online.

mine is to use the search button

Oh come on, find me the original thread.

This isn't a repeat.

mine is to use the search button

Really? No way! Mine is to call out pricks who drop into a thread to say that despite the search bar yielding nothing similar that has recently been done.

Plus 10 pages of similar content ^_^

What? Those are all threads about games that you dont and do like.

This is a thread about quirks, which if you've read the content, provides completely different discussion.

Reat the FIRST FUCKING LINE of the topic

"or something you like to do while gaming that nobody else does."

It includes that.
There was no need to swear at me for something that you have done wrong, reported.

i'm new here... and it does seem like a pretty prick thing to do.

like, if you've got a problem with it, don't click on threads you think you've already seen?

omg, imagine that.

Well then welcome You'll find that as reasonable and friendly as a lot of us are, there'll be a good few whose only reason to be on the forums seems to be to annoy people.

oh i imagine so.
they're just not as cool as polite people.

The thread is about more than one thing...

None come to mind for myself, but I know a guy who researches every aspect of the storyline of a game if he picks it up so much as once, and if the game has customizable characters, he writes a complete and full backstory for his character.

When I play on a pc I have to have the keyboard at a 40 degree angle otherwise I just can't play right.

 

[jonnypistolshot]

I've solo'd every MMO I've ever played (WOW, Eve online, Guild wars, Warhammer, etc), which kind of defeats the purpose of playing them online I suppose. However when I play single player RPG's like Oblivion, KOTOR, Mass Effect, I seem to think to myself "I wish i could play this with my buddies at a lan party..."

 

[Davey Woo]

I rage, ALOT. Hence my Gamertag (Raging Dave) but yea if I'm not shouting to myself at the people online, I complain at the bots.
A funny example is when I was playing GRID my teammate (Gareth Masters - AI) kept rear-ending me instead of overtaiking me normally, and I kept shouting "OHH FFS GARY PISS OFF!"

It got quite amusing when my dad walked in whilst I was shouting.

 

[DeviousCrypto]

I tend to fiddle with the volume dial and voice on/off switch on my mic jack for my xbox controller. I guess it a nervous habit that annoys the hell outta poeple that can here the click, click, click of my mic coming on and going off. Fun stuff during COD or BF:BC.

 

[McBurks]

I'm a Madden freak.If my QB doesn't have over 4,000 passing and at least 40+ TD's passing he's FIRED.

Damn straight ^^ I know I was gonna add something else but I forgot what...so lets just pretend I've said something really nice and helpful x)

I find it to be a physical compulsion that I actually HAVE to shoot the alarmed cars in L4D...my team mates love me

 

[Zydrate]

I need my mouse and keyboard or controller to be clean as possible or I get distracted trying to clean it while playing.

I have a quirk that's kind of a spinoff of this. As we all know, mouses can get messy. After some hours of gaming the "ick" feel goes to my mouse-hand. I have to wash my hands every couple of hours when PC gaming.

1: I must explore every square inch of a map in any adventure game or RPG. If I don't, I get a niggling feeling in the back of my mind that I missed something so important there that I usually turn back. If I can't ever go back, I will quicksave every ten feet and explore as much as possible, all the while hating myself and the game for doing this to me.

2: In any online shooter, mostly COD4, I will shoot corpses to show the owner just how little I respect them. I have no idea why they would care or even notice, but if they really piss me off I'll unload a few bullets in their dead body.

3: In any RPG or adventure where the items you equip affect your character's appearance, I will try for hours and hours to strike a balance between what looks awesome and what gives me great stats. My characters in the KOTOR games were notoriously squishy for this exact reason, and let's not even talk about my WoW character because it is embarrassing. At least they look fucking stunning.

4: I am one of those guys who, while playing a game, will lean into it. I.E. melee attacking an enemy in an FPS, I will smash the melee button with such vigor that you would think that button is my enemy. I will lean into turns in racing games. In MGS4, where

I would find myself ducking under vehicles as they flew overhead.

Christ, I'm a fucking mess.

I have ocd
wash my hands before, during and after

 

[Bohner239]

I always shoot the signs above doors in tf2. I don't know why.

NO WAY, so I'm not the only one! Yeah, I feel like it does something for me. I also just go out of my way to be annoying as hell when I play that game with my little brother. Like select the soldier as my character and all I do is make him stand there and scream until my brother finds me...and silences me. I just do the most annoying thing possible for hours in that game.

Hell, this goes for ANY game.
