Comment Clear Cutting (Score 1) 346

Any game where I have to gather wood (Age of Empires, Galactic Battlegrounds, etc) I would always feel the intense need to clear cut the forests around my base using villagers, trebuchets, etc. Why I felt the need to see cleared land.... no idea. My subconscious timber tycoon, maybe?

Also in games where I have flight capability - sending whatever to every corner of the map so there's no fog of war - usually leaving one enemy unit to keep the game going...

Finding New and Unintended Ways of Playing Games 346

Ronald Diemicke writes "World of Warcraft players sometimes hang out in front of Ironforge and dance. Fallout 3 players seek out new and elaborate ways of destroying their avatar. Brawlers in Smash Brothers have an itchy pause finger, ready to catch any humiliatingly hilarious screengrabs. The thugs running rampant in Grand Theft Auto are putting Evil Knievel to shame by using a full assortment of vehicles to pull off some incredible stunt work. Personally, I like to collect and move things. My favorite is making piles of bodies in any game that lets me move them around. Ever catch yourself doing something in-game that isn't exactly part of the game, or just something really dumb?"
