pretending I have friends to talk about it with them
Sometimes i'll talk to the characters if i really like them and i just look like someone who's gone insane talking to his TV. in fact, as a kid i used to talk to my anime and cartoon characters on screen too so i guess its not a habit i have entirely broken yet.
I'll hum/sing songs from completely unrelated games sometimes.
Situps and jump rope during downtime, like between matches, or awaiting someone.
>Press every button on the controller to see what it does
This is normal right? I don't understand why tutorials exist when you can just press every button.
When I play FPSs I play with an airsoft gun as well
Whenever I get easily killed or destroyed by an enemy, I crash my fists together and pretend I'm sending energy beams out of my fists like Obelisk the Tormentor with infinite power, then I pretend I'm being hit by those energy beams and are just totally annihilated, with flames coming out of my eyes General Grievous style.
Sometimes button functions are situational, and counterintuitive.
>mfw spamming Okami's dedicated barking button
My leg often shakes when im playing a game or browsing stuff on my phone. It can actually cause a ruckus
Have even numbers of items in inventory. Drop/use any if uneven
Everytime a see a nice pair of breasts I have to stop playing to go mastrubate.
That’s actually very autistic and probably OCD too
I check the fps counter to make sure that I don't drop below 60.
This but unironically.
Ass is better though
I play video games
When bored in multiplayer games, I send people messages asking if they like knives before stabbing them.
I commentate like I'm doing a let's play even though I'm not.
I do this not just with video games, but all media.
I live in a dub country, we very rarely sub English media and most of our dubs are fucking awful. Translations and VAs aren't necessarily bad, they're just all the same, flat tone.
That's why I like translating shit in my head to see if I could make it work well in my language.
For example, when there's a redneck character. They're often very referential to American culture. If a joke or even just a character trait isn't obvious COWBOYS MARLBORO GUNS type shit, it most likely won't make sense to a viewer from here who doesn't watch American media all the time. And of course, there's the accent and dialect. Those are completely lost in our dubs. So I try to decide whether I would dub that redneck in the standard dialect-less version and try to convey his redneckness through the words he uses, or if I would give him my country's very own rural-woods-farm-inbred dialect from Bavaria or Saxony. That would mean you'd have to re-write all the references to fit the new cultural origins, though.
It's fun but difficult. If you're a non-native English speaker, imagine someone in a TV show uses the tern "shotgun wedding" and you have to convey the same meaning in your language while matching it to his mouth movements.
Sometimes I lift one of ass cheeks and brap as hard and as loudly as I can.
I do the same, but with songs.
Organize items
Never use the rarest items
Check map constantly
Save constantly
>Save 2-3 whenever I hit a save point
>Worry about the game freezing or crashing, or the power going out.
The last thing is a problem avoided with the Switch, which is great
Used to make up and sing my own songs to the BGM of whatever I was playing. I distinctly remember playing Animaniacs on sega channel singing some inane shit when my sister walks into my room and laughs her ass off.
>OMG user were you singing just now? Are you fucking retarded????
:(
This, but I yell “BRAAAAAPPP” at the same time
To make it more vidya related, I guess I could add:
I also do this with ingame descriptions, item names and UI elements. My nuts retract every time I see someone playing Siege or CS in German and all the notifications on screen are super long. In Siege especially it's just very inefficient and not elegant.
If you’re gay
anxiety attacks
Oh, yeah, definitely. It's interesting to see how many people don't speak English but still understand the tone and general meaning in a song. And how weird it must be to have every song in your own language as a native English speaker. I don't understand how some super simple songs work anywhere but abroad where people don't understand the retarded "AYO HANDS UP PARTY PEOPLE" type lyrics.
Might be considered autistic nowdays, but my first playthrought is always 100% blind.
I dont care if i miss stuff or if i get the bad ending or make a suboptimal build. Exploring, finding stuff on your own and having those "WHAT THE FUCK" moments are the best part of vidya
I do the same, I sometimes even watch segments of a show I like with subs/dub on my language to see if the joke or the idea was well translated. Also, let me guess, you are from Spain?
I did this, until one day I got drunk on wine and decided to play Deus Ex.
>...why contain it?
...and instead of brap I sharted, like big time.
Create short stories and scenarios in my head in random spots in the game like the world could shrink down to that one little area and it would be content to convey a one shot story.
I have to clean my room before I start a game.
>Bavaria or Saxony
Not Spain, no. But yeah. It's also fun to try and make classics from here work in the US. Wondering how I'd translate a Loriot movie to convey the same amount of comfy nostalgia to someone who experienced that time in a different part of the world.
It's easiest when it's about food. You could always replace Reibekuchen with Sloppy Joe's and get the same emotion out of different people.
I do this too.
Specially if its a 7 or a 3
I play Nintendo games
I play games.
I play with my balls
I lost a save once but didn't lose much progress because I alternate between saves, so that's just good practice. Unless you mean saving 3 times on the same file, then you get no benefits and open yourself to corruption through power outage.
you'd be surprised how many people say they do this
>tfw sit in the shower by myself and discuss my favorite games like i'm on a radio talk show
I might be retarded
What really annoys me is people who DON'T do this. If they're not specifically told to do something, they will never figure it out and instead ask constant questions about basic things like "How do you block/dodge/aim/switch weapons?"
These are the people with zero critical thinking capabilities. I have co-workers at my IT job who are exactly like this. They skim and process less than half the words they read in e-mails, instructions, etc. and assume they know exactly what's going on - and when they get confused, it isn't their fault. So many times they come up to me asking about something, and I spend the next 5 minutes or so asking them questions about the instruction they were given or something they've read.
"What's this then?"
"What does that tell you to do?"
"What does that field say there?"
And most of the time, I STILL have to fucking point out what to do. Yes I'm mad, fuck critical thinklets.
that's just called playing video games properly user
I buy gamesbut never play them.
Sucks to have a programming job.
You are to mentally tired to do anything afer a day at work.
All my own projects are rotting in a folder...
Yeah but people dont do that anymore.
Not with walkthroughs, guides and streams one click away
Fuck, I do that except it’s never video games
I do this too. Either we're all insane or it isn't as crazy as you think.
>Information assurance
>monthly paperwork maintenance, occasional hardware encryptor configuration, an inventory twice a year
>most days spend 6-7 hours of 8 idly browsing Yea Forums and /g/
Feels good.
>still don't want to play games because emotionally broken and pre-occupied
yeah, i do it with everything. sometimes i'll just sit in there for an hour and talk to myself. it's like a way to organize my thoughts and discuss things I couldn't otherwise discuss in real life. it's therapeutic as long as you don't go insane from overexposure to all of the heavy metals on your water.
whenever I get really pissed off at losing in a shooter I poke my chest/head where the enemy shot me, "OH HAHA LOOK AT HOW EASY IT IS TO WIN AHAHAH"
Usually it only happens when the cpu keeps making impossible bullshit shots.
Silently mouth what I'm saying in my head. While playing
Also pretend I'm a streamer coversing with my chat
I do that too, fuck
Oh my fucking god I do that shit as well.
I just ramble about my favourite games as if someone asked me while I was in the shower
>have to take a tight corner or roll an aircraft
>physically lean
This but situps and pushups
Especially fun between fighting game sets
I can't play games without having a twitch stream open in the background. I don't know why this happened.
>playing fps
>enemy suddenly appears and starts shooting
>I slightly duck and lean in real life as I crouch and move in the game
Try to get out of bounds or break the game physics.
I sometimes do pushups when before a cs:go match to get my heart running
I do this all the time, it’s fun to pretend
U got Quads m8

Least mine are pretty tame and I can keep these in the privacy of my own house.
pick up every firearm i see, no matter how shit it is
if i'm on a multiplayer FPS, and i'm doing really well i'll hum jelly fish jam to myself.
youtube.com
Fucking checked.
Wasted on a N*ntendoid
This, every lost match: 10 push ups or sit ups
based as fuck nintenbro
when play vidya i'm anxious because i feel should be doing something more productive.
i collect everything, always.
i save all items i get, and never use them.
I get frustrated extremely easily when something goes wrong and regularly swear and scream like a literal autist (because I am one)
I'm more anxious when I'm not playing vidya because if I'm not playing a game I feel like I'm not a proper "gamer"
I do this but with TV shows or old seasons of AVGN
Sneed
>spend 4-5 hours in character creator
>get in-game
>spot a tiny niggling flaw
>delete character instantly
>repeat this process until every individual slider value is perfect
>start playing the game properly several days later
reload even if i spent just one shot.
as long as it's not full 30/30 clips.
>tfw didn't know about MGS3's pressure-sensitive controls and kept accidentally slitting guards' throats the first half of the game
This is why tutorials should exist, or at least some explanation if you're gonna do a gimmick like that
pick my nose
That's completely normal user
do this same thing every time, wish these games could let you save presets
Close doors behind me even though I know the level is empty
When I see the replies this post gets I feel relieved, like I'm not retarded for doing the same thing
Then I realize I'm on Yea Forums
Isn't playing games already autistic?
When someone kills me, I check their hour count to see if they played more than me to feel better.

Have fun
drink potions on the right first because I assume that when I panic I try pressing the closest keys first
>I don't understand why tutorials exist when you can just press every button.
Sometimes there are many combinations of buttons.
Sometimes mechanics are weird as fuck
Sometimes I like to narrate noir-y dialogue in certain games that call for it. New Vegas as a cowboy, Prototype 2 , imagining a civ took Heller's place, Skyrim during rainy weather. It's fun to make a story out of it.
>like i'm on a radio talk show
Same. Helps me extrovert and evoke confidence. Also helps me practice talking as if I'm before an audience. I also like to read out loud.
Legit I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's kind of like what voice actors do. They need to keep their voices ready and practice range; you don't think sometimes they'll just start talking and assume a role? Even if not, there are worse quirks to have.
When I play a military shooter, I use a class that corresponds with what faction I'm playing as. When I'm the Americans, I use American weapons. When I'm the Russians, I use Russian weapons. So on and so forth.
This isn't restricted to just video games but I get really animated when I play games. I start talking out loud to the game and get into it like I'm a Let's Player or something.
Hoard Every type of item in Minecraft even if some are completely renewable/ Useless/Abundant
Sometimes I find myself swerving out of the way of an attack or turning my body a bit as if it'll change the direction of my attack.
Oh fuck, I'm not alone.
I play games in their original language with subtitles. Not just Japanese stuff, but any game. I like hearing different languages. Most of the time it's English anyway, which isn't my first language either.
Pic related, I like the French dubs in Furi
I copy Dante’s yell during his sprinter move. Been playing dmc1 and I do it constantly
i play eating m&m's and i like to keep all the colors the same number
