7 Things All Gamers Do That Make No Sense Whatsoever

Rob presents our list of 7 things all gamers do that make no sense whatsoever. Imagine you’re an NPC in a game and then a hero approaches, jumping on tables and eating entire wheels of cheese. Heroes are strange. Here’s the seven strangest gaming habits they/we do. How many of these habits do you have?

Which of these gaming habits is the strangest one to behold? Excessive leaping? Gorging yourself on random floor meat? Smashing every box you encounter? Wearing outrageous outfits in the name of invisible stat boosts? Face it: game heroes are really weird. Have we missed any super strange gaming behaviours? Let us know in the comments!

One of my favorites is, especially in RPGs, asking the same person the same question multiple times to see if they give you any new dialogue.

[coyoteartist]

If Zelda didn't want me to destroy all the pots, they wouldn't keep putting rupees in them.

[Faceless_Evolution]

Not using the best offensive/recovery items during the final boss stage before the inevitable end of the game because, you know, I might really need them "later".

[twice]

You’ve convinced me. Tomorrow, I’m going to work and I’m going to jump into the Bosses office and eat a whole wheel of cheese, maintaining eye contact the entire time. If that doesn’t establish dominance, nothing will.

[shmookins]

Saving all the mega potion 'for the final boss' which you never use since you don't know what/who the final boss is till after.

[TheSpiderPan]

Jumping off of a very high place to see if we take fall damage. Or jumping into the water to see if we can swim.

[SentiNel]

Another one that is done quite frequently is: Talking to EVERYONE. Just to see if they have a quest or are just flavour NPCs. God forbid there's a party event, it's going to take an hour to get through them all!

[KusacUK]

Willingly walking through a fire to see if it burns you.

[Chishannicon]

To go along with the "wearing the best armor" entry, how about the way we just change our clothes out in the open in games? Imagine carrying around your entire wardrobe with you all the time and removing/putting on clothing whenever you feel like it, wherever you happen to be.

[PerovNigma]

Rushing around the battlefield to collect loot/resources before engaging in conversation with my NPC companion — or, even stranger, collecting loot/resources while the fight is still happening.

[springer]

I've just realised the jumping habit in games comes from the lack of stepping ability. Those ankle-high walls and ledges would be fine in reality, but in games the only way I can gain any vertical movement is by lifting my entire body off the ground and hoping there's not a much higher, much more invisible wall above the tiny wall I can see.

[Wogle]

I actually have a very simple one:

Running/sprinting everywhere.

If you saw someone dressed normally just sprinting between every single shop, or up and down the street, you'd probably be a bit on edge.

[Chishannicon]

The cutaway to Dave hiding from Rob in the stairwell gave me such joy. HIS LITTLE GIGGLES!!! Rob, your Friday Features never disappoint.

[Jobiwan]

You have to jump excessively because you might save 0.0001 seconds compared to regular walking

[ajibarra]

You forgot- jumping to express joy, or jumping as a form of hello to someone you know in game, or jumping to express thanks

[Cludnugget]

I think trying to straight up murder an ally for the crime of being a little bit annoying deserves a spot on this list..

[MaskedMask]

'hide and seek with my daughter...or Dave' Had me close to choaking on my fish and chips. Great gag XD

[fraupoppy]

Oh, hello, strange person just randomly bursting through my door at night, while I'm sleeping. Please, help yourself to all of my food, clothes and valuables by rummaging through my furniture and breaking my storage devices. Please, come again.

[cataorshane]

... I must be fashionable at all times. If there are clothing shops, checking them all out and gather all the funds I need to look the absolute best is my main priority.

[paulcadogan]

Running into walls and either just stopping, or even weirder, running on the spot as you slowly move around the wall.
