In action adventure games, all smashable objects must be smashed before i leave the area, boxes, vases, crates cower before me.

If I ever come across a small open flame. Such as a camp fire, a burning barrel.
I'll jump right into it.

I just killed a pack of Deathclaws in an abandoned trainyard 'because there might be some duct tape.'
There wasn't
Sigh.
I think im addicted to making weapon repair kits.

Play any halo game on Heroic without picking up any covie weapons. Really missed the Plasma Pistol while I did that.
I do sandbox game missions (GTA, TES) at certain times of day. When I get a feeling I know what I'm going to have to do something I would never do in day I wait till dusk in the game to get my mission and carry it out at night. Like in GTA4, I never see Ray during the night at his restaurant because I feel that everything is out of place. I don't know why.
Red barrel?
MUST BE DESTROYED OR WE CANNOT CONTINUE.
Also, I always watch the opening cinematic of a game the first time I play, even if it's the trailer I've seen a hundred times. It's like a little ritual, builds up my excitement more so I get really pumped for playing my new game.
Additionally, if there's a doll or humanoid item thing lying around, I always try to make it stand up. If there's a chair, I park it on that to "give it a nice view" of the game world. I don't know why, I just like the idea of this little object having something nice to look at.
But really, I'm just waiting for the day some developer will make a game where a fire goes out if you jump on it. That would be brilliant.
EDIT: Also, if I get to a boss, I'll save the game. Obviously. I will also save a second time, after doing any of these things:
a) Reloading, be it a full clip or one bullet.
b) Healing - again, all of it or one unit of health
c) Waiting for magic to regen to full (where applicable)
d) Changing equipment, any amount
e) Moving slightly closer to the boss without provoking it

I think I'm a perpetrator of this, too. Usually to test the fire physics of the game, i.e. seeing if it hurts me when I stand in it. Caveman mentality FTW.Tohuvabohu said:

This, but mostly because I've actually quit games because I was set back a few hours (especially after an annoying boss) But also I have been screwed over one (I'm looking at you FEAR 2) where I hit alt+f4 AFTER my quicksave and so it decided to erase my game when I was near the final boss >_<Gigatoast said:
There are two things i have a habit of doing:
1: In RPG's, I HATE dropping items no matter what...
2: Almost pray to every god out there that i don't die so i must start the level/area/battle over again. (Even though i can just click pause and save most of the time.)
That's me in a nutshell with almost every game.

I make overelaborate strategies during the "predator" sections of Batman: AA.
such as planting certain gels in certain areas, tossing a sonic baterang at one, luring a guard, knock em out with said gel, lure others closer, blow up the rest of the gel around them, and in mids the commotion pick offeveryone except one, then mindfuck with him.
....
I probably will be doing the same with Arkham City.

I make one of every type of character until I decide which one I like best, then play that one... For a while. And then switch to one of the other characters, or perhaps even remake one of the characters because they weren't min/maxed enough.
Right now in Fallout New Vegas I'm playing a character that I gave only 1 INT to and trying to role play as him. I've decided he's addicted to alcohol to the point where I'll immediately have him drink every bottle of alcohol I find. And I've decided he doesn't fully understand the concept of ownership or stealing, which has gotten him into lots of trouble.

I was playing Far Cry 2 recently (almost a great game but tripped up at the last moment and fell into an open tank of sewage; dont' buy it) and there's a feature where if you die an NPC friend will show up and revive you. It is sort of balanced in that you then have to protect their thick ass and you have to 're-activate' them afterwards so they'll come save you the next time, but I never used it. Well that's not true I did use it once when my last save was two hours prviously, but apart from that if I died, quickload it is!
Buying and using all the British weapons in Fallout New Vegas (Oh Classic Fallout Weapons mod, how would I live without you) no matter how awful a couple of them are.
Always carrying a Lefaucheux 20 shot revolver in Mount and Blade 1866, despite the fact its crap.
(This thing http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/images/d6057c640358036b890ac394c46abb46.jpg )
Organising my inventory in Mount and Blade, so that the items form patterns... ..nothing OCD there.
In RTS games I always find myself building at least one of every unit, and I don't know why I do that.
Clicking every single conversation option in an NPC's chat window in Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV. Because? Otherwise you get some options in different shades to the others, and that just annoys me next time I want to sell them shit I pinched off a raider.

That's impossible! I, sir, call this a lie! (Unless I have misunderstood epicly.)whtkid6969 said:
Some of the CHECKPOINTS of Black Ops (veteran diff) took me two-three hours to complete.. I don't see how you could do the whole thing in one go, even if you mean doing the whole level in one go.
You remind me of my friend who role plays like a *****. Even before swimming in Oblivion, he takes all his armour off, and then puts it back on afterwards. He listens to every speech without skipping it.Unia said:
I try to kill every enemy (in games that permit it) with the environment. So, stuff like throwing people off cliffs in Crysis, or with exploding barrels.
So that if there's ever a court case against the protagonist, he/she can claim that every kill was an "accident".

I'm super OCD when it comes to gaming stuff, like I check rooms to make sure I've got everything, but if something is going to take me a long time (like finding all the feathers in Assassin's Creed 2, a game I have completed 4 times to get the two attached achievements, or completing all the Truth puzzles) I'm far too lazy to bother with it, as I have 15 other games I could play.
Things like getting all the guns in RDR Single Player, which allow me to go and shoot stuff for a while, then sell it to get the money, plus I then have the reward of being able to use the gun, I tend to see through to conclusion

I reload after I've killed one enemy. I'll be fighting a group, shoot one, kill it, then reload. It's crazy
