Silly Gaming Habits

A lot of articles recently have been created with Resident Evil 5 as the inspiration and this one is yet another one to add to that list.

Jeff and I have just played through Resident Evil 5 in co-op mode on the Veteran difficulty. It was our first run through of the game and we did pretty damn well since we didn’t know what to expect… during our play through, I did notice a very funny and very silly habit that Jeff has…

He’s a chronic whiner lol, and the line I hear most from him is “GOD DAMMIT!” whenever something really stupid happens in the game like we get killed a split second after the cutscene ends and the gameplay begins again… and these are legitimate times to complain. For example, there is one boss battle where at the start, if one of the players has a minimum amount of health, there’s a chance that the boss will kill you right at the very beginning of the battle itself if you’re not fast enough to dodge the attack.

In any case, Jeff saying the words “GOD DAMMIT” is now tattooed into my brain because he’s said it so many times. Of course, he’s not the only one with a silly gaming habit. I have to look around at every little corner of the game environment whether Jeff has already been there and cleared the room of items or not. I don’t know why, maybe it’s just the “exploran gaem” fan in me that tells me to do it.

I also have another strange gaming habit… Whenever I get hurt in a game in any way I’ll go “ow” or “ah” or something along those lines as if I’ve really been hit myself and not the character in the game. I have no explanation as to why I do that… I just do.
