I went to a Pokemon TCG tournament at the library and this kid brought a deck of like 500 cards and made up house rules like he could play as many energy cards per turn as he wanted and the energy type didn't matter and I didn't put my foot down and tell him to play the game right so I lost my first round and I cried on the way home.

I studied the rules for weeks and spent all kinds of time figuring out how to make a good deck and poo poo and when I got to the tournament and the guy was just like Uhhh yeah this is how I play at home and pulled like 20 cards on his first hand I was just too bewildered to do anything about it. I don't even remember any of the turns so he probably just put a Charizard out on the first turn and instantly won.

Gamer noises are natural and should not be suppressed.

WHenveer my dad played SSX he would go loving apenuts swinging around in the chair and poo poo, moving his head and trying to get a better angle of view.

Actually I think I got house ruled in YuGiOh once at this weird kid's house but I still won and we were playing for keeps but he got really mad and had a tantrum so I just left the cards and I never played a TCG again. I did buy a bunch of Magic cards thinking I'd get into it but I never did and just like looking at the pictures now.

Whenever a match ends in a fighting game I tap all the buttons on my stick like a drum beat and I try to match the rhythm of the game music

I realized this because Guilty Gear replays let you see inputs overlay on the match and I realized I think everybody does this because right when the match is over both sides of the screen explode with every button and direction being pushed 20 times a second lol.

The only time I ever beat morrowinds main quest I used the console to teleport myself for the last few nerevarine quests because you have to run across the whole {^##+## map and I was 16 and too stupid to understand mark and recall

I usually game in complete stillness and silence, unless it's an involved sword fighting game with like dodges and parries and stuff like Dark Souls or The Witcher 3 or something in which case I immediately turn into DemoniusX in his "killing women in Postal 2" video.

You move so slow in that game that your better off teleporting anyway.
