[Róisín Dubh]

Looking around with your actual head (like peaking around a corner in shooters)

 

I do this one a lot when I'm playing Battlefront

[Vogue]

 Tilting the controller in racing games, I do this all the time lmao

[unemployedblackman]

So sad I still do all of them. Especially smashing my buttons harder or faster. Some PC games have it uses taking APM in account but some games don't.

[Tiskitosk]

Haha I do so many of these things. Especially looking around with my head and pressing the buttons really hard 

[Ringo]

A + B + Down when throwing a poke ball.

[Somnia]

Lol, I do most of these

[Big Stupid Jellyfish]

"shouting at virtual sportsman"

 

I do this constantly when I play Madden.

Pressing buttons extra hard

 

These are my worst habits  I sometimes yell (not in an angry way) at my team mates (like on Mass Effect, Dragon Age, or Fallout) or enemies when they're in my way or making the game more difficult.

A + B + Down when throwing a poke ball.

 

Lmao I still do this after so many years

[Venom Rose]

Pressing buttons extra hard

 

Yup 

[hilmanelric]

shouting at virtual sportsman and pressing buttons hard

 

sometimes at sports game the player is incredibly dumb and not doing what i wanted, and pressing buttons hard seems like my automatic response at racing games

3 out of 7. The "Holding your breathe underwater" one is really weird to me lol.

 

- Tilting controller in Mario Kart 8 even tho I'm not using motion controls.

- I like horror games, but I'm super jumpy.

- I need to break the habit of pressing hard on buttons, but sometimes things get intense.

Tilting the controller, looking around with my head and pressing buttons hard... I do all of those

A + B + Down when throwing a poke ball.

I thought it was pressing one of the buttons repeatedly at the right time during the animation? I can't remember which button though, but it seemed to work 

[lovesgoku]

lol, I still do like half of these. I'm always turning the controller in racing games. hiding behind things and pressing the buttons hard for no reason 

[Step]

A + B + Down when throwing a poke ball.

 

I press L + R everytime the pokeball shakes lol

I press L + R everytime the pokeball shakes lol

 

Back in my day, we didn't have L and R buttons! It was Down + A  + B to catch a Pokemon!

I just pressed A iirc, and more intensely when the ball started shaking

[Goten21]

HAHA, the peeking thing is me!

 

And I also press the buttons fucking hard for that extra damage on Dead or Alive, lmao

Pressing buttons really hard applies to me so much lol. I do it all the time, It's like my head is telling me to press that button so damn hard so it will do 10x the effect than pressing it with normal force.

[imsomessedup]

nope

i'm pretty efficient at gaming now

used to tilt controller and smash buttons
