xVolloxx Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ohh, I'm the same! When gaming I have it on either 14,16 or 18. It depends on my mood and the game, LOL When I'm just watching tv it HAS to be on 10. Low yes, but I'm able to hear it well Even numbers are my friends haha!

Just-Pro-44 Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 I don't mean to derail the topic, but those are just quirks. OCD is a mental disorder that is impossible to control and can destroy a person's life. I'm talking about things like having to turn on and off a room's light 100 times everytime you need to get out of the house or else you simply can't leave. They're not cute little whims, like pop singers and reality TV stars want us to believe. Honestly, calling these little things "OCD" is insulting to people who actually have this disorder. I don't say you're doing it on purpose, you're most likely just another victim of pop culture jerks changing the meaning of a word by applying it to themselves in order to sound cooler. But, onto the topic, one of my silly quirks is that I always stock up on super powered weapons but never use them. I save them with the intention of using them in the future, but I never do. I use the simpler, most regular weapons all the time. I can't bring myself to use the most powerful ones, and they end up unused when I finish the game, even if I have played the game before and I know what would be the best place to use them. I'm a power-weapon hoarder. I apologize if my topic made any harm to you or any others. But it is a gaming OCD. We don't just do it one time on one game, most people do it all the time on every game and that's why it's a OCD even though it's not one that harms your life.

Popular Post eburkulosis Posted October 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2013 I remember having OCD like it was 4 years, 14 days, 2 hours, 33 minutes and 12 seconds ago. Excuse me I need to wash my hands. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that TV and movies have popularized using the term OCD for these pointless, harmless quirks. But they're not OCD, they don't even resemble OCD. There's no such thing as an OCD that doesn't harm your life. It's a mistake to call these random quirks by that name. Trust me, if you actually had OCD you wouldn't be making a forum thread about it, you'd be on therapy working as hard as possible to get rid of it. Again, I don't say it's your fault. But I'd really like it if this kind of inaccuracy stopped spreading. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vespaa Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 When I have a lot of money in a game, I can't manage it properly unless the last digit in my accrued income is a 0 or 5. Weird, I know. I've learned to just kind of deal with it, though. (Too much micromanaging to keep it ending in a 0 or 5, especially in some games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaSoOoN-MHD Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 How my character looks. Recent example: GTA V with Michael. Half way across the city now, heading over to the helipad... Nah, I want the Charcoal suit over the black suit. Head back, change the suit, then after I change, I feel like putting one of the special heist outfits on. I put it on, and right before I enter my car, I feel the need to put the Charcoal Suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftprophet Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Ok. So I don't consider it OCD, but I have something I find interesting that I'd like to contribute. First off, I love the SKATE games. For those who haven't played the game before, in order to do skate tricks you have to maneuver the right analog stick in a similar movement that your feet (or board movement) would have to make to execute the trick. Some of which were quite challenging to execute properly without doing another trick. So what happened is that during loading screens, I would find my self practicing the movements in order to execute them effortlessly...but then it started to get worse. I found myself practicing all the different tricks during EVERY SINGLE OTHER GAME'S loading screens. Keeps me occupied I guess Edited October 22, 2013 by daftprophet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sand dan Glokta Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) My OCD quirk is that I always use my turtle beach headphones when I am playing, even if it's a game I've already played to death. I want the full audio experience as well as the visual every time I play. Edited December 22, 2013 by HELLHOUND403 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STFUxDxD Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Every RPG I play, I level all playable characters to 100 or whatever the max level is. Even back in the day when I played Pokemon, I would use each and every Pokemon until I brought them all up to level 100. I haven't played since Red and Blue, and now there's just too many of them so F that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
closertim Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 When game in my bedroom, i sit on the floor leaning against a pillow. To the left of me are the TV remote and game case. The the right are my phone, Kindle, and Kleenex box. There is an indent on the floor where i sit lol. May I ask what the box of kleenex is for?

McJacs2 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 May I ask what the box of kleenex is for? It used to just be for allergy season when it would be too far away if I had to sneeze our what not, but now it is a ritual to include it. I know what you were thinking, it's NOT for that!

The_Dragon_Man Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I always make my characters with blond hair and I really regret it when I decide not to. I seriously considered deleting my high level dark souls character cos he had purple hair, he is forever doomed to wear a hat haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaM Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 My Vita Icons needs to be symmetrical... If I have an odd number of icons that needs to be in one screen, there should be an Icon in the middle and the rest will be equally divided in both sides, my pages were divided based on it's use... trophies/ps store/near etc in one page, music/video/pics in other page... same goes with the games page... 100% and/or platinumed games were in a folder and the games that are in my backlog are in separate folder... symmetrically of course and in order of finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say you have an OCD because you collect all trophies that makes a completionist, not OCD or like your "gaming OCD" if you create the perfect character that makes you a perfectionist, not OCD. :shakefist: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Tron Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I never eat anything while playing my games. I fear my controllers will get dirty. I usually just pause the game and take a break to get something to eat. Then I wash my hands before playing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
