    Gaming's Most Obsessive Moments

    Fuuny stuff in there. Mostly because I'm guilty of a few of them.

    I'm guilty of a few of them! I'm also guilty of for some reason always playing a level in the same way, even in newer open world games where you have plenty of choice! I downloaded a megadrive emulator for my new phone recently, and still play the games the same way I did when I was 10 years old

    Hey, if it ain't broke right?

    But i had no idea these were obsessions until they were pointed out to me.

    I've sent that article to a few people and all the responses were just like ours. lol

    I definitely saw a few that I'm guilty of.

    The most glaring one for me in that list though is the ammo clip one, I ALWAYS do that

    Or how about in L4D when a dude is still relatively healthy, still has their healthpack and pills but will still heal or drink his pills and take another one when a teamate needs it more.

    That's a kickable offence in my book.

    That was pretty good - I'm completely guilty of a lot of those.

    yep, at least 7 of those for me especially the "ammo up, save, health up, save, etc etc"

    It just makes sense so u don't have to start the game fresh and have to ammo up and sort all your belongings out before setting off!
    Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.

    Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.

    From that list, four for definite, but add three as "sort ofs" ... so, hehe.

    Tricky - yeah, I've done that, playing the same level in the same way over and over again - on titles such as COD2, for example.

    And yes, the ammo clip thing - I want to pick the fucker up, damnit!

    Also, as an extension, even if I fire off like one round I have to reload - because you never know when you might have to fire off an entire clip, and need that one missing bullet that you fired but didn't reload after! I recently played Splinter Cell Conviction and I was always doing that - "whoosh, headshot, RELOAD!"

    I really figured when I saw the title I was in trouble. But I'm guilty of absolutely none of them.
    Just look at my face. You can tell I post at HPOTD.

    YES! I'm surprised this one wasn't on the list. This is my biggest flaw in gaming. Completely my downfall in multiplayer FPS's.

    Guilty as charged.

    The risk you take is that in that 3 seconds things could go to shit and you for all intents and purposes have no weapon.
