Shamelessly stolen from GAF, but this is a pretty awesome list.
http://the-minusworld.com/2009/03/30/the-top-9-video-game-ocd-moments-you-know-youre-guilty-of/

What are you guilty of?

I was guilty on 9 until I realized they were all worthless.

I'm pretty much guilty of 6-1 though.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #1 on:** April 01, 2009, 02:32:39 PM »

7-4, absolutely

muckhole · « **Reply #2 on:** April 01, 2009, 02:49:10 PM »

7,6,2 and 1 for me.

Also, I click on every box/barrel in RPG's regardless of whether the developers of that title hide anything in them. Just in case.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #3 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:00:21 PM »

2, 5, 6, 7.

They should have made it like a top 20 list or something. Nearly every big game has something stupid that I obsess over.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #4 on:** April 01, 2009, 03:10:13 PM »

#7 is really a form of cheating, though.

who didnt do number one? Its pretty much a requirement for any megaman game

all of them except 3

who the hell sings "sega" when that logo comes up? I've never seen or heard of that before.

actually, one better than catching the wand in SMB3 is doing a backflip into the boss orb in Rondo of Blood. That was tough.

Robo · « **Reply #11 on:** April 01, 2009, 05:26:20 PM »

Only #1, but I pass through doors while suspended in mid-air in real life too.

Regarding #4, I would often let the wand fall and then fuck around for an obnoxiously long period of time before picking it up, especially if other people were watching.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #12 on:** April 01, 2009, 05:27:12 PM »

Guilty of 9 and 4-1, fer shure.

i had nearly 100 oblivion saves, and around 60 fallout 3 saves

NME · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2009, 05:36:40 PM »

9, 7, 5, 4, 1.

4 and 1 in particular. I've actually been trying to curb my saves over the years, which is ironic now that consoles have the storage capabilities to support a hojillion saves.

anyone who doesn't do 1 is highly suspect as an individual

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:39:47 PM »

I think I do all of those except for the multiple save thing. For whatever reason, I usually just have one or two.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:47:38 PM »

It's because you're an honest person.

brawndolicious · « **Reply #22 on:** April 01, 2009, 06:51:02 PM »

I get up to maybe a 100 saves per file when playing an "open-world" RPG but I don't keep 100 different save files. That type of habit would actually fill up a good portion of the hard drive.

Bildi · « **Reply #23 on:** April 01, 2009, 08:33:23 PM »

I do them except I don't sing SEGA, and while I pick up lots of stuff in Fallout I don't pick up useless things like forks.

I did collect all the flower pots I could find in Oblivion and arranged them around my house in Skingrad. It looked lovely.

Hell yes!!!

Robo · « **Reply #25 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:06:01 PM »

I deliberately avoid making multiple saves to stave off the temptation to nitpick my every action. With a few exceptions, point-of-no-return crap, new save = new game.

Bildi · « **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:11:42 PM »

I get a little worried about corrupted saves, I've had it happen a couple of times. Just doing one save would be pretty tense for me.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2009, 09:19:18 PM »

1 & 4 definitely. I like jumping.

4: So awesome, I would always do this

3: Yes, but its been like a decade since I've heard the superior jingle on the Genesis

1: That too, sort of like the Mario timed jump

5, 6, 7, 8, 9

never played Megaman or SMB3, crazy huh. Saying SEGA? WTF?

I might be guilty of 2 but I blocked out all memories of ever playing a POS Zelda game

I just sing to the Daytona song. How can you not? I ask of you, how can you not?

and yes, I've been a wand catcher, ruby hoarder, and save file filler.

Regarding the save games, when you guys say 180 saves, you mean 180 SEPERATE ones or 180 in total, on the same file?

under the same character/file

funny thing is, i never go back to any of them, i just do it out of habit i guess

or to show a friend a cool part of the game

cool breeze · « **Reply #42 on:** April 02, 2009, 01:23:09 PM »

yeah, I had a bunch of saves with Oblivion that I never went back to. The problem is when quick saves don't stack and replace each other. Fallout 3 had this and in my 60+ hours with the game I only have about 3 saves plus the quick save.

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #43 on:** April 02, 2009, 01:37:35 PM »

Showing a friend a cool part of the game is a legitimate use of multiple saves, though.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #44 on:** April 02, 2009, 01:38:02 PM »

Jumping into boss doors in Mega Man is one of my favourite things ever.

Tucah · « **Reply #45 on:** April 02, 2009, 05:10:11 PM »

#1, 5, 6 for me

clothedmacuser · « **Reply #46 on:** April 03, 2009, 06:43:26 AM »

They have Mega Man on the list but would it be so hard to mention Fallout 1 or 2? Pathologically rooting though strangers dressers is the name of the game.

The list also needed to mention hoarding your 'nades, Potions of Frost Giant Strength, and P-Wings and never using them.

twerd · « **Reply #47 on:** April 03, 2009, 07:17:18 AM »

Always needing a full clip, jumping like an idiot in MegaMan...other stuff not listed

Obeying traffic laws in racing/open-world games

Spinning all the time in Mario Galaxy, even when I didn't have to

Using walking speed in atmospheric games/FPS in an attempt to make the game more lifelike

:(I'm not cool.

I think people I know would be pissed if I showed them parts of the game they havent been yet.

Most of the friends I show don't really play games, they just want to see the neat stuff that happens

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #50 on:** April 03, 2009, 01:20:18 PM »

What about shooting NPCs in Half-life just for fun? I"m sure many people did that.

CHOW CHOW · « **Reply #51 on:** April 03, 2009, 08:32:03 PM »

nailed it with 9 and 1

i'm surprised they didn't mention stock-piling potions in rpgs
