wierd things you do while gaming?

[Marmal4de]

I tend to talk to myself in an array of European accents while playing Medieval II: Total War.

I tend to talk to myself in an array of European accents while playing Medieval II: Total War.

I tend to accept challenges in Fallout 3 with my haughty frenchman voice... When I say challenges it is more like "Aha, I see you evil super mutants thihnk you can stop me, but high stealth and my deadly rifle shall see your end." (Ok maybe it is better spoken than written)

Also anytime I am flying aircraft I can't resist the "British Airman"
Tally Ho!!

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I often put the controller into the air, over my head, while playing without realising.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

I got so immersed in MW2, someone threw a flashbang and I turned my head and closed my eyes. After, i was like "Did I really just turn my head and close my eyes?"

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

For some reason when i play Need for Speed I end up tilting the controller as if i'm actually driving and if I tend to rock back and forth constantly while playing any other games.

 

[jimduckie]

gee i find myself gripping the controller too hard ,grinding my teeth or not breathing during some hard parts but the worst is talking to the game ... it depends on how tired i am...i do have to work b4 i can play

 

[freedomweasel]

Yea. I tend to call NPCs "mother fuckers" a lot. I'll also come up with responses to what they're saying before they're finished speaking in games like Mass Effect.

I tend to curse at NPCs in RPG games pretty often.

Other than that I seem to click the R3/L3 buttons a lot during cutscenes and load screens.

You know how sometimes people stick their tongues out when they're concentrating hard? Well, I do that, except when the gaming gets really intense my tongue goes around and around my lips until I have a donut-ring of spit on my face.

Hey, you asked.

Oh, I forgot. Similar to the above, but during a challenge 'tween friends (fastest completion of MW2 campaign on Veteran [I won, by 1hr!]). A Spetznaz guard trooper threw a frag grenade and I threw up my arms IRL to protect my face. I then had to scratch my head like I had rabid head lice to stop the strange looks from the other 3 players!

I shout in frustration because of all the bullshit in multiplayer games. It drives my parents insane, I just can't convince them that it's a good way to vent anger.

Otherwise I often talk to myself in a way that I'd imagine the main character would feel about the situation. For example when killing an enemy in a single player game that had been a particular annoyance, I go: "Take that, *****! That's for shooting me all those times!". This usually happens when some very annoyingly placed enemy is the cause of me having to reload my save more times than I'm comfortable with.

If I'm playing a racing game or piloting a vehicle I'll usually lean into the corners, so much so that I almost reach an angle of 45 degrees either way and more often than not end up with my face much closer to the screen as if it helps in any way.

Also if I'm dead or stuck on a loading screen I stretch my arms, mostly the right one as years of league bowling with a hook ball has left it worse for wear, especially the thumb and middle two fingers.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

I tend to speak out a running commentary going along and add in my own answers to questions that the characters ask.

 

[Veldt Falsetto]

Well there was this one time when me and my friend were playing UT3 and I got into a giant ball vehicle and just rolled everyone over like a giant katamari whilst humming the FF6 battle theme...strange I know...effective and fun though!

 

[ShakerSilver]

I talk to myself sometimes while playing online FPSs, mostly in TF2. Just stuff like "Ok, I'll put a sentry here..." or "WTF BACKSTAB!?" or "Ah fire, ah fire, ah fire, ah f-*dies* GAH!"

 

[GamingAwesome1]

I have the habit of tapping out a tune on the triggers with my index fingers during loading screens and other such downtime.

 

[Sir-jackington]

Just insulting the AI...very loudly...but i seriously doubt that can be called unusual

 

[Nvv]

When I play Strategy games I tend to mumble to myself about the glory of (insert faction I am playing) and that (insert enemy)is soon to perish. That is a bit weird I think, I'm probably not the only one though.

 

[Nom Pretentieux]

I multitask with the computer incredible amounts and fill up just about every second of dead time with some sort of computer interaction. Good thing, because load times rarely bother me then.
