So today my mom came over today and I hooked up my Nintendo 64 for her so she could play Banjo Kazooie.
I always got annoyed as a kid when I would watch my mom play and she would trust her arms in the air to the direction she was trying to make the character move... especially if they're jumping.
She got mad at me for laughing at her today, but at least she wasn't playing Spryo that's the game that she really throws her hands (and controller) around like a lunatic!

Now, when my fiance plays he ends up screaming at the television and screaming profanities at the cpu characters.
I also find this hilarious, and often find myself in trouble here too, because I end up distracting him playing his game 'cause I'm laughing my ass off...

I think the weirdest thing I do while gaming is the positions I end up laying in. I can't stand sitting in a chair for whatever reason...

So what are the weirdest things you have encountered while watching people play video games,
and
What are some strange things you do while playing video games?

I'm that guy who gets frustrated when the person I'm watching sucks. Don't know why that is.

RPGs + Someone who isn't quite sure what to + Trying to tell them where to go/what to pick up/LOOK OUT FOR THAT ENEMY = just kill me now

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
I like watching people play

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I tend to do a lot better in games when someone is watching me play.

Sitting and silently screaming to yourself when you watch people go in the opposite direction of what you think should be an easy concept and just a little bit of common sense. I visit a friend. Their brother is playing dark souls II.

Also.

Watching others play games I haven't played or don't know much about is fun.

Watching others play games I do know is much less fun. Fighting off the urge to say go there and do this and so on.

Watching somebody play a multiplayer game is a silent sanity check.

It drives me crazy when I watch people who suck getting games early and uploading their footage to youtube.

For example the guy who uploaded the Reach campaign to youtube was trying to use his AR like a BR.

I yelled at my brother so much when he played Skyrim or DA:O that he won't even play it anymore.

Also when i was younger I couldn't play a game by myself (I was 5 or something) because I got scared or some shit apparently. ( I only played banjo and kazooie back then and I was forever stuck on the level with the gigantic circus boss thingy)

Friend: "Hey, where's the boss?"
Me: "There."
"No it is not,  I've already been there."
"It is though."
"No."
"Just walk there..."
"See? Nothing."
"Turn around the corner..."

"...oh."

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
It's infuriating at times, particularly with my brother.

He plays a shit-ton of AC, so I'm not face palming when he's playing that but on FPS' (using W@W as an example):

"Hey bro watch out for that shiny thing, that's a bouncing betty"
"The fuck is a- *BANG*" (legs blown off) "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THERE WAS A MINE THERE?!"
"Uh...yes I did, didn't you see the shiny thing pop up and kill you?"

He didn't figure it out for a good 5 times, and I don't mean them being hidden behind corners, these were smack bang in complete view of anybody (which is why they were still there when my bro haplessly walked over them)

It's what I grew up doing. My mom would always play Spyro, Quail, Final Fantasy, and other RPG games that at the time being so young I couldn't fully grasp how to play (obviously Spyro was a little easier than the others)

I have recently picked back up on playing Banjo Kazooie and I am struggling with the first levels I feel like a noob but I didn't remember it being that hard lmao

Watching casuals play a Souls game is the worst.

Watching any of the Funhaus guys play GTA V makes me want to put my head in a deep fryer.  Even if that's what makes the videos hilarious at times.
