    Talking Strangest Gaming Habit

    Well as the title says what is the strangest gaming habit..
    I have 2.. well theyre not mine.. but friends!!
    1. Every time in a FPS when my mate shoots he opens his mouth (as if he is saying pop) and bobs his head!
    2. Another friend ALWAYS quickly turns his head as if he hears something behind him, he does this about twice a miniute!

    I'm sure everyone does this whilst gaming, but when I'm playing cs, and being shot up quit a bit whilst trying to get out of the line of fire - I'll lean towards whichever way I'm trying to move.. I've seen people doing similar things with game controllers in driving games where they can't turn quickly enough.

    One of my friends has a habit of throwing his PS2 controller across the room if he either messes up, or loses... I think he's on his seventh one, now..

    LOL! An old friend of mine done that once, but threw it with such force that it pulled his PS2 off the table and... BOOM into a million pieces it went!!

    Whenever I have played cricket games, I have always had to push my luck, running away and quickly back towards the crease when in bat waiting for the next ball to start, always! :/

    I used to try and look round corners when playing duke3d too...

    I tilt my head to look around corners or over hills and then alugh at myself for doing it

    When playing CS, if I manage a 40+ score on a map I always have to go and have a ciggy / cup of tea before I can start the next map

    Topspin on the Xbox seems to cause torrets in me, if I am playing that game I apparently shout out all manner of abusive comments (at no one in particular). The worst thing is that I don't realise I am doing it

    Not got any myself, but I have seen some people lean their game pads to the side, when trying to steer in a car game. It has no effect, I explin this, and yet they continue... who will make the bad people go away?
