Odd things you do in Video games

I'm so anal about character customisation, it's not even funny.

Seriously, I'll spend ages crafting a character and then if I notice something that bugs me, I'll delete hours of game play just to rectify it.

I do the exact same thing. It sometimes gets to the point that I start annoying myself.

I run against walls and into random bushes and trees, hoping to find the secrets that were littered about in old games I would play rather than just realizing the game I'm currently playing has no feature for exploration.

I was so happy finding the invisible path in Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars. I'm positive another game will have an invisible path over an empty abyss one day... yeah no, I'm just going to keep wasting my time being OCD.

I spend hours doing things that I know will have no effect at all.
Like in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, where I did a full stealth run through Tao Yong Medical, and then went all the way back to the start of the level to release all of the security bots onto my side.
Just in case they sent a strike team after me.

Do things perfectly that have absolutely no need to be done perfectly. Like I'' be playing Modern Warefare 3 singleplayer, and I'll restart the mission if I take a single bullet.

thats really bad.wow

I don't do it often lol, but if i have noooothing to do at all and no new games, i'll do that.

reloading after firing a single round

THIS. ALOT. It started since I played Call Of Duty and it killed me when playing Brothers In Arms. I ended up with a lot of orphaned magazines - or clips for the M1. One of the other odd stuff I do alot is to try and save NPCs in games, even those I know are scripted to die.

Funny thing about the M1 in real life is that it worked the exact opposite. You couldn't reload it without emptying it. xD

True, the M1 was not meant to work that way =). It could be topped off at any time, but it was time consuming and resulted in orphaned clips (technically not a magazine due to the en-bloc design).

Not to mention that careless handling risked having the thumb/finger caught in the bolt.

I suppose it's not really in game but I always run my fingers over the buttons. I need to stop it, I keep shooting or bringing up the menu when I don't have to.

I always pick up anything remotely shiny too, even if I don't need it. Then I get clogged with stuff I don't need
