Copy Clerk  Posts: 60 Joined: 20 Feb 2008 | Hehe, well I have that same problem sniper with RTS games. I prefer to be nice and organized and it really backfires on me especially with things like nukes or just kamikaze runs at me cause there goes my production. In the RPG's I have to organize my inventory my way so I'll always know what I have in an order even if it doesnt make sense to others. Same thing with abilities, if my guy can learn it I will teach it to them. Also adventure rpg games I will be the guy running around in circles trying to find every bit of treasure or hidden item like in no more heroes(thankfully not as hard as GTA3), or Super paper mario that I run across the screen in 2d the 3d to make sure I'm not missing everything. Edit: what the heck is spawn brooding? |

Muckraker  Posts: 256 Joined: 24 Feb 2008 | In RTS games, I also put my buildings in a neat manner. I wonder if all gamers have this secret habit? When playing FPS (especially CoD4 and Halo 3), I sometimes make-up a story between why the two forces are fighting and what they're trying to gain out of the battle. Just to spice it up, you know? |

Beat Writer Posts: 165 Joined: 27 Sep 2007 | I rarely play more than one game at a time (MP and SP are counted seperate from one another here, so I might play, say, N+ but nothing else SP while the only MP game I play would be, for example, TF2). This of course only relates to my games, on my systems, in my house. The rules change from place to place, and there are special exceptions made for other peoples games, systems, etc. I also never seem to finish a game unless I'm at least mildly addicted to it. That's why I never beat RE4, for example. I liked it and all, but I could go on living without it. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 880 Joined: 9 Dec 2007 | I'm a bit OCD when it comes to base layouts, mind. Its sort of... automatic. As for my own input: I do that thing when playing third-person RPGs like Zelda or WoW especially, where I always have to run and jump at the same time when travelling, even though it doesn't really get me anywhere faster. I think it's just the sound of the roll I like. Heh. |

Muckraker  Posts: 229 Joined: 13 Jan 2008 | I've been diagnosed with a minor case of OCD, and that really affects how I play. In RTS games, I won't go into battle until I'm certain the Tech Tree has been fully explored. If there's a chance I'll need it, I want it available. And heaven help me if it's something like Starcraft where I COULD win early, but I'll go so far as to jeopardize my success to make sure all the little upgrades are done. In MMOs or RPGs, I have to check and double check on my inventories to make sure nothing has changed, was added, or goes missing. And I have the bad habit of checking my "Friend's List" every five minutes to see who got on, ignoring that there's no one on it (or only a few) and the game will alert me when they get on, and I haven't seen the alert yet. |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 3 Joined: 28 Feb 2008 | One thing I used to love doing in Counter Strike on the last kill ... no, not tea bagging, pfffffff. But to simply empty the remaning of my clip so you could hear the "click click" sound for a while, standing over my last victim. I really liked the feeling it gave ... felt like I was in a movie I guess or just some kind of psycho. I can't think of anything for the moment. |

Copy Clerk Posts: 64 Joined: 2 Jan 2008 | I have a similar problem in regards to RA2, with bases and the like. Always neat and tidy... constructed in the same way. If there where roads, I'd build the base to match them on the map. Same with other RTS games. Units, however, are always all over the place in a way that makes no sense beyond the heat of the moment Also, in RPGs, I try to save health potions and other limited use items. I'd rather die and reload, then spend 10-20 minuets repeating what I was doing sometimes rather than spend expandable assets. I blame this on another habit I have. Hoarding. In Morrowind, I had dozens of caches of crap I would never use, but kept anyway for the sake of having it. Or being able to sell it later. I hoard in any game I can, Stalker was another great one. . I see an RPG launcher, I'm never going to use it, ammo is rare and costly, its also heavy, but I want it anyway. So I dump some of my stuff, walk back through bandit infested areas to another cache and drop it there, walk back and keep on going. Spend 2 hours one night going back and forth between the areas moving all my crap to a new, larger cache. Thing is... I ENJOY that... |

Muckraker  Posts: 288 Joined: 11 Mar 2008 | Well, to be gaming at all would seem to me to be a strange gaming habit... However, I must confess! I enjoy cackling. Alot. Indeed, I had to pause in my typing due to said habit. However, it's not really confined to games, so I suppose it doesn't count. EDIT In conclusion, this leads me to believe that I am one of two things: Incredibly guilty, or KU KU KU KU KU KU. |

Ditto. Real gamers aren't ashamed anyway. Especially when there's good food and drink around. I also narrarate, and create my own dialogue. Whether it be sarcastic, or even serious plot developing dialogue, varies from game to game. If I just so happen to be playing ANY Unreal game I'll blast music directly into my ear. |

Actually I would've expected the next line to be "They don't let me in the Arcade anymore" or "Nobody ever challenges me in DDR" |

Anonymous Source  Posts: 4 Joined: 4 Mar 2008 | A fairly common one, I think, but whenever I get a good sniper kill I like to shout BITCH really loudly, regardless of where I am. Sometimes I'll even add a bitchilism (i.e. "BITCH *you don't know who the f*ck I am!!!*" with the words contained in the *~* being the bitchilism) xKx |

Well the thread is simple enough, post about weird things you do in certain games.
And I'll start.
In C&C: Red Alert 2, I like my bases to be neat and tidy. I line up my power plants and try and keep my base in a sort of sqaure shape. This obviously puts me at a disadvantage at times becuase my power plants are usually all clustered together. Same goes for base defenses, I usually like to have them in a neat formation.
Feel free to confess your gaming habits.
