I made a Mario Kart board game that was terrible. Two 'tracks' (boards), you used a die to move and complete lap(s) around the board; some squares made you lose a turn (piranha plants or some such), some would take you through a shortcut, and some had a question block drawn on them. The latter had you grabbing a card, and so you got an item. All of the classic items were featured; the mushroom made you move twice in a turn, the red shell would make an opponent that was closer than a specific amount of squares in front of you lose a turn, and so on. No strategy whatsoever was involved.

I also used to make up big tables of meaningless stats for RPG monsters or RTS units.
Rocket Tank. hp: 400, attack: 50, speed: 4, etc.
I still do that. |

Much like the real game, then  That actually sounds pretty kickass. I agree with Renton. |

You're likely to bump into Hunter S. Thompson.

So Nintendo actually stole Mario Party from you? |

Liking the original Sonic games is nothing to be embarrassed about!
of course not. I mean... I was a fan after Sonic Heroes.

I banged my head on things after playing Mystical Ninja for 12 hours straight when my parents made me turn it off. We didn't have a memory card so I couldn't save.
Similarly, we had no memory thing for our Dreamcast for a while, so we left it on for days at a time until we had to take Gauntlet Legends back to the rental store.
I guess this doesn't count as behavior, but whenever I'm losing very badly in a fighting game, I get dizzy and half of my face goes numb and I have a headache for the next few hours. This has happened four times, starting sometime last year. Should probably see a doctor but then they'd just tell me to stop playing games and I'd be like no.

Similar to someone else, I made Mario 3 levels in math notebooks, having an early perception of tiles.
Before that I cut up cardboard boxes to make TVs and controllers to draw games on. That was in kindergarten!

I was walking home after my first serious CS session, when something in the distance caught my eye. My right middle finger twitched, but somehow my sniper zoom didn't activate.
Also everyone in my family has dreamt about tetris.

Well, I think all of us mentally press ctrl-z after we do some kind of screwup in real life. Don't we?

And for the peeps who've played games like Eye of the Beholder, I used to do complicated text-adventures into a notebook, sometimes spanning multiple notebooks. You'd pick a choice and turn to the page listed via the choice. :D
...They were some of my best work graphically.
