Embarrassing yet true lol. The only one I'm not guilty of is singing the "Sega" song. But that's just because I never owned a Sega, I'm sure.

4,3, and 1 are the only ones I'm guilty of, but I'm sure all other people are too.

I'm so happy he mentioned the mega man entrance. It's honestly one of my favorite mindless things to do in any video game, actually you would have to be crazy not to do it.
Also, in the Super Mario Kart match race mode, where you line up right next to your opponent off the starting line and if you both get the boost start, you'll be parallel with your opponent for a good 3 seconds. During those 3 seconds, you need copious amounts of self restraint from not trying to ram your opponent off the course or into the wall. I pretty much have the tendency to do this every time.

My brother was infamous in being totally OCD about the gambling on the Casino Night levels in Sonic 2. He would literally milk it to like 9 minutes every time and then finish the level. It was so brutal.
Wow! Andrew, that just could be the most annoying video of all-time. The volume was way up on my computer too which doubled the annoyingness.

7,6,4,1.
The problem with number 7 is that I'll save it, and forget about it, no matter what I label the save. It's especially confusing if I was drinking/tired when I made the save, given that I'll make something like my Fallout 1 save called "scorpionfist."
EDIT: I think I am going to change my 360 gamertag to "Scorpionfist"
So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

I'm guilty of 1, 2, 4, and 6. I am also guilty of trying to pose Simon Belmont in an action pose (usually jumping and cracking the whip) when the screen freezes at the end of a level in the original Castlevania.
My brother is extremely guilty of number 9. He is completely obsessed with getting every item in Fallout 3. He has literally not even started the actual required storyline, and yet has been playing it for weeks trying to get everything first. I can't blame him though. I am somewhat guilty of trying to create the ultimate saved game for most of the games Ihave played. Odd though, since I have PS1 cards full of these perfect saves that haven't been touched in about a decade. I have no clue why I do it.

Yeah but I can garuntee that you play those games at least three times, you will sing it

I'm definitely guilty of #9.
Haha, I didn't know people other than me did #1.

Just 4 and 1 for me. Possibly because I really haven't played any of the other games.

That is an awesome list! XD

How in the bloody hell didn they know about the megaman jump?
And who doesn't catch the wand mid-air? If I met a person like that, I would hit them. Just saying.

That list is pretty good. I'm guilty of #1 every damn time. I always thought I was the only one that did that. It's good to see that I'm not.

7, 5, 4, and a variant of 1.
Instead of just jumping, I'd jump and hit fire so he looks like he's plugging his gun into the door as its key.

I'm guilty of 8, 5 and 3-1.
Though I think we're all guilty of 1. Because it looks so much more badass when you do it.

1,3,4,7 for me.
Along the lines of #4, I do something similar in SMB1, but it's kind of hard to explain. Whenever I jump onto a pipe that I know I can go down, I start down mid-jump of that Mario will "dance" into the pipe instead of crouching into it. Anyone else do this?

7
6
5
4 (but with Castlevania & Zelda Link to the Past)
3
2
1 (but in Super Metroid)

#4, 1 and maybe 2 for me.
On #4, I always try to catch it at the very top of the screen, before you even see it.
It's really nice when you do it, but it makes me miss quite often.
On #1, I also try to shoot. Sometimes it will work and he'll shoot while he's falling.

I'm quite surprised they didn't mention pressing UP+A (or whatever combination of buttons you guys used) when trying to catch a Pokemon. You KNOW it doesn't increase your chances of catching it, but you still do it.
