Peculiar Things We Do When Playing Video Games.

[ReaperHunter]

I've come to realize that I do some pretty peculiar stuff when I play games. Most of the time it's just a random habit I develop while playing the game, other times it is some what of a running joke, and some of these are just plain irrational. So I thought it would be fun to share them see if any of you do anything similar.

• When I play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time or Majoras Mask, I have the Ocarina equiped, even when I don't need it for anything.
• In Metal Gear Solid 3 I tend to run around in the camoflauge combo of Shirtless and Skull/Zombie Face paint, despite it almost never being a combination that actually ups the camo index. I do the same in MGS4 with the Assassins Creed outfit.
• When I play Crash Bandicoot 2 I tend to belly flop into bonus areas and onto the exit warp pads.
• When a character in Final Fantasy X scores a critical hit I tend to say " Hmm, {Insert character name here} You are an animal."
• Also from FFX, whenever I need to use Wakka in some way or another I make the Pacman sound effect "waka waka waka"
• In Dragon Age games, I don't like to kill bosses if my character has already died in the fight.
• I nickname things a lot. I think the most glorious example would be nicknaming Detective Sebastian Castellanos from The Evil Within, I dubbed him "Detective Sea Bass"

That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to share your own strange gaming habbits, I'm sure someone will get a kick out of them.

I feel the need to go up and down menu items whenever I accidentally press the cancel button.

I the first 2 things as well, although with Wakka I quote Bender from Futurama when he KOs an enemy. I also yell like Christian Bale when I can't find a certain item, "WHERE IS IT?"

I always make the characters spin around in circles.

Always,

 

[Lain]

I always make the characters spin around in circles.
Always,

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does this...

"I'm twirling!!!"

 

[DragonMaster2010]

When I play DmC, I spin the camera around from a worms eye view and watch the world around Dante.

 

[berto]

I don't make them spin, I make them dance.

I get competitive with games I'm better at than my friends. Specially if we're doing co-op.

Here's another one I do when I play MGS. Anytime I grab an enemy from behind and put them in a choke hold, I say surprise.

 

[Director Bison]

if i'm playing a game and i get a B rank instead of an A/S rank
i immediately go "WELL that won't do" and retry over and over again until i get it perfect

if it's in the game i always try and finish bosses with a super move
example: In DMC4 as nero i always finish off Sanctus with a DT Buster

 

[ReaperHunter]

If an RPG or MMO has a hunter class I normally try it for the sole reason of being named Hunter.

 

[berto]

When trying to kill monsters I've said to my friend "Shoot it in the human."

 

[LordOfDarkness]

I have a tendency to laugh and mock enemies that have tried to kill me, but have failed badly in the process.

 

[EA9Sol]

• I like a few other folks have said: I like to run around in circles for no reasons.
• If the level has a map that needs to be filled out I will not leave that area until I have completely, even if it's not necessary.
• I tend to talk to the characters when playing any game. E.I: Coaching them, yelling at them or congratulate them. >.>

 

[Demi-fiend]

Sometimes I try to limit my characters (but not too much).

Walking around and rotating the camera slowly in open world games with beautiful scenery.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

Walking around and rotating the camera slowly in open world games with beautiful scenery.

Oh we all do that, no doubt.

 

[ReaperHunter]

If a game has breakable objects in the environment I have to break of the things. ...even if said things respawn when I re-enter an area
Edit: This is more like a strange opinion but I'm still going to include it here anyway. Crabs , in almost every video game that I can think of that has the, are the most smug creatures in the game
