Gameing alone in the house

[Tintenfisch]

We all have different faces when ti comes to gaming. When you're with your friends and you die, play terribly or just do things in general you're usually pretty humble. But when you game alone and you know there's nobody in the house or around to hear you. you're a complately differtent person for better or worse.

So I ask you pavilion, what do you do while gaming when you know nobody else is around to hear/see you?

Anytime theres special attack animation (think like quickenings in FFXII or supers in fighting games) I usually act it out with my hands

I almost always verbally say what comes to my mind if I'm losing in a game "NO WAY, THAT GUY WASN'T THERE, DOESN'T MAKE SENSE"

If in the game there's a pause be it a loading screen or waiting to respawn, I usually do a small amount of push ups or jumping jacks.

I take my pants off and speak in tongues as I prance around my room to the beat of Ryu's BGM in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

Or usually I just cuss a lot when I'm losing.

When I lose a match, lose a life, get a game over, etc, I usually utter the words God and damn in rapid succession.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

When I lose an online match in SC!V against a scrub:

1. I realize I just lost

2. Anger grows

3. I stand (controller in hand)

4. Yell "What the hell!!!!?"

5. Walk around exclaiming excuses for my loss

6. Sit back down and play again

7. Repeat

I have a plethora buffet of food spread all around my bed, while I sit right in the middle and play my games. I am a big snacker. I make beatbox sounds to the normal game music sometimes.

In voiceless RPGs I act out every single character. Keeps me from getting bored.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

I don't do any of those things. If I die in a game and think it was bogus (one time I was sneaking passed a barrel in Crysis, I bumped into it and then I suddenly died. No explosions. I just died.) I will get ****** and say 'what the hell?'

Other than that, if I die and my last save was from an hour before, I will just stop playing for 20 minutes, or two months.

...one time I was sneaking passed a barrel in Crysis, I bumped into it and then I suddenly died.

Speaking of odd barrel-murders, I was playing a single player game in Halo 3 when suddenly I got headshot by a random, projectile barrel that came out of nowhere.

I've done this with Final Fantasy VII and VIII, and Shining Force 1 and 2. But mostly when I was in my teens. Usually it makes me cringe at how awkward the dialogue sounds coming out of my own mouth.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

Kind of funny, I was talking to my brother about this a few nights ago on the phone. Friends don't really buy this until they get to know the "geek side" in that I hide the fact that I'm so freaking introverted. And even then they still say "I can't believe you, you CAN'T be that introverted" (most of my friends are women if that makes any sense). I usually play games by myself. That's my personal time away from people, I can "re-charge my batteries" that way then I'm able to tolerate people and social situations better (). Nobody I know believes me because I don't give a whole lot of my "tells" away that I'm that way. But anyway... Sometimes in games when I think something was really gay or cheap my favorite thing to say is:

"OH... what the hell was THAT?"

Really its more of the AI doing some lame crap than playing with other players. Usually with other players (friends or family) I'll laugh more than anything but I'm not really "in my zone" when I actually play with friends. Plus that's when the girls realize that I'm being honest about the closet-geek thing. Heh, it's funny more than anything else when I'm playing with friends. But other than that, I'm pretty laid back playing video games. Those are my "two gaming faces", I guess.

And I do the voices thing too, but in my head.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

One of my recent favorites (accidentally overheard by someone else):
"What the ****? How can a dinosaur cast ULTIMA???"

I tend to say stuff from time to time, depending on the game. It usually involves swearing, but sometimes it's just a sigh of disbelief. Most of the time I'm pretty quiet.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

I scream profanities in German, pound my fists on the keyboard, and throw everything off the desk.

Re: Gameing alone in the house

I usually swear aloud in frustration, then keep the satisfactory feelings inside, leading the outside viewer to think I hate playing video games.
