YES. I almost never sold anything, I will pile them into my house's desk.GiglameshSoulEater said:

I die all the time reloading compulsively.
29/30 rounds?
RELOAD
In Bioshock 2 (this isn't really breaking the game) whenever I would recieve a present from the little sisters that was accompanied with a jar of fireflies, I MUST break the jar and free the fireflies.
In Return to Castle Wolfenstein at the end of a level I had to knife or kick anything breakable to find those secret areas, and in any RTS I will stop everything just to make sure the units are facing the right way or my gatherers animations were synced
For me, It is more of not following directions in funny way. I.e. In black ops, on the Bakinour level, where you just walk through a bunch of security guards, Woods says, "Be inconspicuous." I immediately frown at the screen, and then begin hopping everywhere like a bunny.
I.e.2. Escort mission in GTA, "protect so and so." I start throwing grenades everywhere, then max out the stars. My success rate is something like 3/10^56.

Reload after almost every kill, I have been getting outta have the habit though.
Stealing almost everything, like Super Duper mart, in Fallout 3. All those tin cans, yeah I stol them all.

not one single enemy lives if I can help it, and in shooters I tend to keep my ammo count equivalent to a whole number of magazines, although I've been doing that less
In shooters, its OCD reloading for me. Often to my own demise in multiplayer, but I reload not only after a kill, but if I haven't finished someone, I'll reload before breaking cover.
With RPG's, it SHOPPING. I practically memorize inventories of shopkeepers before I'll head back out. I compare each and every stat and damage type to my own to find the next best thing, or to see if somehow the Holy Grail suddenly became available for purchase while I've been away.

This. I can never just throw anything away. No matter how useless or broken it is, either because "It might be useful at some point" or "It looks nice". I have several World of warcraft characters dedicated to storing spare equipment...TestECull said:

In RPGs i hoard consumable stuff that MIGHT be useful some day, like for instance a potion that gives fire resistance, and never use them because i either forget about them in the bloated inventory, or save them for the next time they might come useful, time and time again.
in any game that will let me, i must run around in the smallest circle imaginable so it looks like i'm twirling. i have no idea why
Killing people when their backs are turned. I always have to sneak up behind them and stab/shoot/cut/necksnap them from behind just for fun.
Probably not that uncommon, but i in a hack and slash i have to smash absolutely everything before i leave an area, vases are not safe in my presents.
This relates strictly to RTS games, but I will actively build an army that is 10x the size it needs to be for the current task. I'll defend against wave after wave of assault until my Force is the size I want, even if i have to defend the base with my mass, only to repair damaged units and then Rebuild. EVERY RTS...even simple Tower Games like Comet Crash get the same treatment...
I save scum like a crazy person. If a fight doesn't go just right, or if I waste too much ammo, I replay that section over again. In Bioshock, for example, I had the max of every single item by the end of the game. Every time I almost use a really powerful item, I always say "well, I might need it later."
