Weird things you catch yourself doing while immersed in a game

[Deathman101]

Vivid cursing if odds are stacked against me.

...Sometimes I also quote Duke Nukem'

 

[Mullahgrrl]

I never speak when I play games, exept for Mount&Blade then I have a hard time not letting out battle cries and staying on my chair.

 

[lukemdizzle]

when playing an oblivion, fallout, mass effect, ex. I find myself saying my response in a conversation as I choose it

 

[canadaowns]

I go into "gaming mode". which basically means i stare at the tv nonstop for however long im playing.

 

[Flashfire07]

Well, I find when I'm playing a really good survival horror game or a really intense FPS game, the first time through I'll be so tense that my hands shake and I hide behind the nearest solid object, usually wielding my controller like a gun or a club.....

 

[HassEsser]

Oh, actually, I sometimes scream "BOOM HEADSHOT" "I can dance all day, I can dance all day! Try and hit me! Try and hit me, cmon!" "yeaa, noob! Take that *****!"
and then when I die I catch myself beating the shit outta my keyboard and blaming lag.

It happened, and it was documented.

[Eskimo_In_Egypt]

My rate of blinking drops. Allot. I've gone blind for a few minutes before. Only twice, but still. I have to consciously force myself to blink on occasion.

 

[USSR]

I twitch and talk to myself.


Oh, and I scream profanities constantly when playing any online multiplayer.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I poke my head around when my character is peering around something. It's 100% reflex and it bothers me quite a bit.

 

[Fox242]

I tend to catch myself standing up and sometimes standing close to the TV if I cannot see if said TV is not a big screen. Also, I sometimes catch myself sitting sideways in the chair if I am playing a game on a big screen. Two thirds of my weird gaming habits revolve around what size TV I am playing on. I've also noticed a new habit as of late: going into a crazy panic mode and babbling alot like Bender in his panic mode whenever the game is getting crazy.

 

[Joey245]

I talk to myself. All the time in games.

Also, usually I play games lying on the couch relaxed. When in a tough boss, however, I'm upright, stiff as a board, grim look of determination on my face. I even caught myself sweating one time.

 

[Zayren]

Oftentimes, when playing an FPS and killing something, I'll shout, "Suck it Blues!". It doesn't matter if the other team is Red, or if I'm playing Call of Duty where the teams aren't defined by the color of their armor.

Hooray for Sarge.

Ever since I watched RvB I do this all the time too. I do it a TON on Team Fortress 2, so I try and get on Red as much as possible.

(I also subconsciously thought you spelled blue wrong there. Damn you TF2.)

 

[Lexodus]

I find I rest most comfortably with my hand loosely gripping my neck. Yes, I subconsciously strangle myself and feel good.

 

[p3t3r]

swear... a lot

 

[Daedalus1942]

Title says it all.

For me, holding my breath as I go underwater.

In games like Colony Wars, lylat wars and such, I move around with the spaceship.

 

[Rhodeyo]

i dont know what i do.. but when i've watched my dad play some games he like freaks out and like bites his lip and does like a little tap dance.... quite hilarious actually.

 

[IWCAS]

I was playing MW2 and LITERALLY tried to peek around a corner. My sis gave me a weird look.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

I sometimes start singing on som tune completly unrelated to what I'm playing, and it happens that I'm almost done with a song before i realise it. For example yesterday I found myself humming the melody for Sabaton's "Price of a mile" while playing DA:O.

 

[pixelbob]

i sing along o songs and if there are no lyrics, make some, and if i cant make sound effects
