Strange videogamer habits. What things have you done when buying brand new games

http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/strange-habits-of-video-gamers/

I always do that thing with smellin the inside of the game case or the instruction booklets. A few weeks ago I just planted my face in the instruction booklet for Final Fantasy Crisis Core and sniffed the glossy paper.

I've done everything on that list, except for the smelling.

speaking of the flushing toilets easter egg thing in videogames I still flush the toilets in Final Fantasy VI

LOL on the toilets and mirrors.....I think I was just doing that yesterday..

I started to chuckle at the toliets and mirrors thing....and then i thought about it and realized i do it all the time. and the 1st to open thing i go crazy over. Like not even just for me if a friend lends me a game before they've played it I try and make sure they open it before they give it to me.

I do check the mirrors, toilets, light switches and on rare occassions the dismemberment if it's there.

Wouldn't call it strange, just a way to see if the developers has slacked off on somewhat nonimportant things.

Edit: Oh and the unwrapping thing, Unless it's a gift, someone elses or I've given permission, you do not tear off the plastic and play it before me.
Doing so is a health risk.

xD

I'm pretty sure i've done them all at some point.

Depends. When I'm at work I'll look at the instruction manuel. Aside from that I just open the game and throw it into my console. I also take the plastic, make it into a ball and rap it up with the sticker that keeps my case shut.

i saved the security sticker on Resident Evil 5, Prototype and Fallout 3, i rarely do the smelling thing though.

I smell new cases and booklets, funnily enough the last one I did was RFG just like in the picture 8)

I also look into mirrors, if there are any.

One thing that I do that wasn't mentioned in the article is clean my room, I hate sitting down to enjoy a nice new game and being bothered by any mess around.

Unwrapping is the only one.manningbowl135

Smellin? I never do that.I don't have strange habit, if i bought new one, i justholdthe case and reading whole the word on the cover.

Have never collected security stickers.

Yeah, after getting a brand new game, I often smell the instruction booklet, the case. lol

I have manners even when playing a video game; when I am in the bathroom, I flush the toilet, wash my hands, and turn out the light.

Do you really think I would shoot a fallen, dead enemy in the Head, the arms, the legs, the crotch, the rearend?

yes, I do that - the coupe de grace - have some lead for breakfast you dead sob

At firs i thought you could flush the toilets on fallout 3, But i soon realized that "Activate toilet" Actually meant drink from it. it gets you +18 radiation.

Smelling the box of a new game is a must. Everything else on that list isn't a ritual for me.
