Do you move physically when playing a game
Say a driving game, do you find yourself moving from side to side as you turn?. Or if you are doing a difficult jump in the game, your legs twitch at the moment of jumping?.
I even found myself punching the air once when I completed a difficult mission. And then told myself to get a grip.

He becomes that engrossed in his game that he forgets his grandchildren are present at times and when he fails to make a jump, all we hear is "Aw that's shit" or "away and shite" lmao.
Can be quite comical as he and I suppose we all do it from time to time and that's blame the character we're using for the mistakes, even though we are the one's controlling it lol
He sticks to slow paced RPG's now.:D
One thing the wife mentioned before is that the worse i do in a game the closer i sit to the TV. At the start I'm sat on the sofa, then i get killed repeatedly and sit on the floor leaning back on the sofa followed by shuffling closer and closer before I'm sat on one of my big cushions 2 feet away from the TV:o.
I will admit when playing racing games, the g-forces do actually seem to make me lean ! It's amazing how realistic some games can be :)
Great thread BTW.
Racing games get me doing this more than any other type of game though and its only racing games, I don't do it driving in sandbox games for example.
I also take my hands off the wheel when I'm about to have a real big crash, A result of years of watching Indycar racing where you often see drivers taking hands off the wheel before hitting the wall on the ovals.
So true lol ok I tend to lean when cornering and do admit to sitting up off the sofa to try and get a better look when going over jumps. I apologize for leaving that out in my first post
guilty as charged lol
Worst case is if I am flying something - If I try to pull up from a nosedive I start leaning backwards.
One time I tried using the exercise bike whilst playing GT5 - My pedaling intensity varied in relation to what I was doing with the vehicle.
I guess it's sort of like when you can't help putting your foot down to brake as a passenger in a real car sometimes.
I used to that too. It was rather strange as i would find myself suprisingly trying to recapture my breath, unaware that i had not been breathing correctly.
When i was a kid. I had a friend that would disturbingly move along in the direction of punches when playing SmackDown. He even had to readjust himself a few times, by getting up and moving back to his original postion as he had veered to far away.
Also do this expression a lot while sat in front of the telly

Winner of the internet!
I still do that! And get cross when moving the controller to the right doesn't actually help me drive down a mountain (for example) at high speed!
When I around 15 and my younger brother was 13 we would play mortal combat. We were always competetive as siblings and, being the oldest, I would nearly always win in most things. One time, I was sat on the bed, lent forward, and my brother was sat on the floor in front of me. I do not remember which character I was playing as but what I can tell you is that my brother was Sonya, typical! It was a hard fought battle and as the fight came to an end it was a rare victory for my little brother. For anyone that remembers Sonya's celebration you probably know whats coming next, for those who don't I can tell you that she punches the air with both fists - like a cheerleader making a Y symbol. Of course, being overcome with happiness that he had beaten his older brother at something, he copied this victory move planting his right fist straight in my face. What a punch in the teeth!
