For example, I originally had an Xbox Live gamertag of "Tigerriot", but ended up completely ditching it well over a year after getting my 360 at launch, just because I had gotten rid of some of my games and hated having them listed on my "games played" list as well as demos that I had never bought. The thought of having 0 out of 200 on my list and having no option to ever get those points drove me crazy. My gamerscore was over 8,000 when I did that too. >:(
Of course you're probably thinking I'm a gamerscore nut, and thats totally not the case. My current score is over 6,000, and I'm not one of those people who goes and rents a game just to get some easy points. But for whatever reason I now have this feeling that if it's on my gamertag list, I must still own it.
Weird?

im a little OCD about keeping my game library in nice condition.
I basically have these converted airtight gun cabinets in a de humidified room with its own locks and alarm node.
I dont want the booklets or inserts to age....
thats about it tho..
i also clean any slight dust or debris from the lot annually.

Yeah, I'm pretty big on keeping my games and stuff in great condition as well. Drives me nuts with how frequently I get a new game these days where the case is mangled or scratched up from the factory. ::)
Just yesterday I bought a new game and got to my car with it, only to realize the disc was flopping around inside of the case. I promptly walked back into the store and told them to give me a new one. I didn't even want to open it. These companies should give us a good case for the damn game if they want to charge $60 a pop.

no shyt man - I emasculate a shitty gamestore worker for handing me something he should have dropped in the trash.

I'm really only OCD about owning games that are displayed on my gamerscore. which is why I hate trading games in :(

Not really OCD about games, I mean I suppose I can say that I found mp3s + repetitive gaming task relaxing but thats about it. Well wait no, I dont like people eating then touching my gaming controllers, thats gross. Wash yer hands.

In addition to that - dont you hate when you see someones never before cleaned up notebook computer with perma finger grease all over the touchpad and space bar?
-
yeah, people need to keep their crap clean, its gross

Just yesterday I picked up one of my 360 controllers and proceeded to scrap the crap out of the creases where the plastic pieces meet. You wouldn't believe how much crap piles up in those things over a year or two. Shocking.
Probably dead skins cells for the most part, but still gross to see it all coming out.

^^ This is one of the reasons I like my new raised key apple keyboards.
There are no cracks between the keys so shyt like dead skin cells and other bits of DNA cant build up in there.
They are similar to calculator keypads raised rubber keys.
Macbook air has that style too.
-
I dont get the dead skin cells or oil thing cause I wash my hands often enough and scrub hard. Thats the trick really.

Years of exclusive fps playing affected how I had in public settings. I can be out there with friends, and my eyes are always fucking scanning the horizon or around us, without me even thinking about it. I never sit in a way that my back will be against the exit; I always have to sit at an angle where I can see the exits and who is coming in and out of the room at all time. I feel uncomfortable if I can't see it. I blame that shit on my years of playing the doom games over and over again; that and shmups.
When I'm walking outside, I'm always looking around like a completly psycho, it's really annoying.
I think i'm going insane.
