Oh, and in Melee/Brawl, I kind of have a habit of "honor" regarding certain weapons. If I have the ray gun, I'll use it a couple of times on someone, and if they get near the edge I'll throw the gun behind me. I can't stand getting knocked off the edge with the ray gun, so I don't want other people to feel that way. Same thing with the Super Scope, I rarely use the rapid fire. I might for a few seconds, but it gets old fast when I'm not doing the shooting, and it slows down the battle to an annoying crawl. But, I have no problem charging it up and hitting people with it, then throwing the dry load Super Scope at someone else.
I do the same. I absolutely hate when someone gets me stuck in a rapid fire fan or projectile attack... especially the fan. If I'm playing online and that happens again, I am just dropping out of the game. It might be useful to the attacker, but it's damn annoying, and in a 2-minute match especially it's just cheap. You can practically go half the match caught in the fan, which ruins the whole experience.
On Umbrella Chronicles I shoot The male Zombies in the crotch at times. Be more funny if they reacted like a real guy would, like in Golden Eye when you shoot a guy in the butt and he reaches bach there(if I remember right).
Edit - That's the game I remember doing it for sure. Possible I've done it on others.
Profanity does play a key role in my shooter success, I must admit. I also tend to have very good posture when I play video games. I also blame the joystick and/or controller many times for my shortcomings. I stomped a PS3 controller into pieces one time. Of course having to throw $50 down on a new one cured me of that.
@Wiiperson 11- Would be cool if you could do that after a game beats you or really tick you off. Like when you get to shoot the fog in the arcade version of Duckhunt.
I have a weird habit of wrenching my arm back whenever playing a Wii-game with IR aiming and firing a "powerful" shot. Like a powered-up blast in Metroid Prime or The Conduit.
I cant sit still when im playing and I usually want remaches wining or loosing Although my brother playing games its a nightmare saying that i cheat and cries

When jumping in titles such as Metroid Prime or other FPS games that involve lots of jumping I tend to lean forward and lift my feet as if to emulate the jumping motion. I don't do it as much as I used to, but it still happens on occasion.

I'm down one Classic Controller now for much the same reason.
Damn, you guys need anger management classes! I cannot remember every chucking a controller, let alone busting it into pieces due to game frustration. I have hit my thigh pretty hard though from repeated deaths in SM3, SM64 and Castlevania IV. The cure was to delete the games from my system and never look back!
Well, in my defense, I just threw it down, which isn't that uncommon (not that it's the mature or rational thing to do, certainly), but after I realized the joystick was decentered and I couldn't fix it, I decided to stomp it half out of anger and half for fun.
Hahaha I love some of your quirks... I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself. In RPG's or puzzle games (some FPS's aswell) I examine everything that looks sort of important (and I do mean everything). I would also restart the game if I'm not satisfied with a battle result (say, if someone in my party KO'd or I used more items that i'd like).
Haha also, I don't break stuff, but when I'm frustrated, I tend to give my controller a vigorious shake XD
"If I were you, I'd dance naked in the middle of the street just to embarrass you."
As weird as it sounds, I also tend to try and be a 'perfectionist' at living. I'll actually restart a game almost instantly (goodbye hour of progress...) if a character dies in a game that has a death counter or penalties for someone biting the dust. Needless to say, Skies of Arcadia will never have zeros next to everyone's names. : ( Finally, when playing a something like an RTS game I tend to make strategies for everything right off the bat. (Trust me, it gets a bit detailed depending on the game.) Based on these strategies I make (both consciously and subconsciously), I can usually have a level 57 character take down a level 80 enemy. I'm sure others can do better, but that's where I stand.
I'm the same way, especially on FPS games. I try so hard to have perfect accuracy and do every perfectly in every game. I also won't shut off any 3D Zelda game unless I have full hearts and maximum ammo for every item I have, because I want to be perfectly supplied when I restart. Also, if I get stuck for a long time on a particular puzzle, and then I figure it out. I sometimes reset the game so I can finish it much faster. As such, it takes me much longer than most people to finish a game.
