So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

when you playing online and some one else on the mic has a bunch of things going on in the background. You can hear babies crying in the background or Gf's/Wives bithing about something.

That drives me nuts.

My "favorite" is when someone is talking on the phone, but yet they are still using a mic.

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

Rules

1. Install the game to the HDD of all games I know I will be playing often.

2. Eat or use the bath room while the game is installing.

3. Don't ever play sports games online, other people just mess up my experience and atmosphere with their unrealistic play calling and stuff they be doing.

4. Cell phone goes on vibrate.

5. Have me something to drink sitting next to me.

6. When playing Kinect, dog gets locked up.

Pet Peeves

1. COD series online.......If they not cheesing or glitching, they talking about annoying stuff.

2. People who talk about non game related stuff on the mic.

3. People on the COD series online who assume everybody is black and call you the N word regardless if your black or not. If you kill them, you get called the N word. They kill a person, they call the person they killed the N word.

4. People who have their mic on and you can hear like 4 or more people talking in the back ground in their house.

5. People who try to invite you to a game that you aren't even playing, even when they see you playing something else.

6. People who take their kill to death ratio way too serious.

7. People who brag about their kill to death ratio.

8. People who say you just aren't good at the game if you so happen to NOT like a widely popular game.

9. Dog earred instruction manuals or strategy guides. I hate to have any of my game books dog earred or wrinkled.

I like my controller battery to be peaked. I tend to feel like I'm at a disadvantage if it gets low. I have to sit directly in front of the TV and my chair has to be centered with it. I don't like any opened cases of games out, I don't like any other games out, I have to have any games in my current library lined up inside the TV case and the room I'm playing in has to be well cleaned and void of clutter.

This all holds especially true for Fridays. Late Friday night is when I do the bulk of my gaming. I get everything around the house ready for that. If I feel like something didn't get done I can't enjoy myself fully. I can eat while gaming. I usually pour some whisky or enjoy beer on my Friday gaming night.

These are battlefield related:

- if you can't fly the helicopter, don't try and learn it during the game. That is a easy way to screw your teammates.

- When I am repairing my tank, don't steal it

- When I call for ammo or a health pack, if you are next to me, drop one.

- Sniping does not help the team, man up, grab a rifle and get in the action.

I always gotta charge my controller if Im not gaming.

All my games go in alphabetical order and my wife’s games go in a separate section. Games Ive beaten also go in a separate section.


I have to sit in the same spot, the left side of the couch.

Pet Peeves

1. Online in general.......If they not cheesing or glitching, they talking about annoying stuff.

2. People who talk about non game related stuff on the mic.

3. People being racist *******s.

4. People who have their mic on and you can hear like 4 or more people talking in the back ground in their house.

Sums up most of mine quite perfectly. Just changed and edited a few things to fit me.

Going with the online stuff, so effin annoying if you're trying to talk about the game in a team based objective game, and some ******* comes in the game thinking he's a comedian and uses voices from movies or movie quotes over and over again. UGH.

I only play story driven games in the daytime. I remember Bioshock I only played on Saturdays from 10-2pm. It took about 2 months for me to beat it.

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

I always stand while playing a game, can't play a game sitting down as I feel I don't play as while while seated, especially for sports games. Hate playing on line when people message you saying you suck or you got lucky when you beat them. Suck it up, you lost, don't be a poor loser or a poor winner. Just have to realize that most of these people are probably 12-13 year old kids. Hate when games get laggy online, especially when the start out smoothly, often because the player on the other side is probably downloading something while playing ect.... I always make sure when i'm online I have nothing else eating up my bandwidth to lower the gaming experience for either player.

Holy moly... that sounds awful. I've got to have a nice couch or recliner to game in.

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

This is extremely weird as you are dead on!
I swear when I was in an NCAA league my wife was no where to be found UNTIL a crucial down or drive and voila!!! wife enters and starts asking me questions or whatever... This happened almost like clockwork!!!

Then she'd get mad when I give her a short answer or say "Not right now!"

They always get mad when you aren't really giving them you attention. This happens all the time to me. She starts in and I kind of ignore it, then she keeps on, I get killed or something bad happens in the game because I was distracted, then I give a curt answer and then she gets mad and wonders why a grown man plays video games.

Because I like it. Go watch a reality show and leave me alone for an hour.

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

Guess I should mention my biggest peave... People whoe have Gaming > Life and take gaming way too serious.

[Stroehms]

Re: So what are your gaming pet peeves/rules.

-I always..ALWAYS.. put my receipt from the game that I bought inside the case along with the instruction manual.

-I use the restroom before I start up a game.

-I sit on the edge of my chair or foot rest.

-If the game goes into OT or is close at the end, I stand up.

-Door always closed.

-Music blaring, usually my metal mix (sports games only)
