I just can't be, but the OH laughs at me for it.

When playing a game, do you duck/weave/dodge etc..... I quite often when playing Battlefield duck when incoming rounds go overhead............. And last night I jumped on a ledge, looked down on screen then kind of moved my body to look down as well..........

I don't do that no, but it would be comical to watch others do it though!

The only thing I do every now and again is flinch if I run round a corner in BFBC2 as someone else is coming the other way, but thats pretty standard for an FPS these days.

I have occasionally been known to say "Ouch" and flinch when crashing on Forza.

Uhm... sometimes when I'm realy trying to give it all on GT5, I tend to hold the pad as a steering wheel. So in a left trun, I'll turn the pad left as well.

Thats a whole new level of immersion! I've been known to lean with the choppers lol and on a couple of occasions ive been startled by someone running round the corner of a building and knifing me lol.

I accidently slapped my partner in the face last week when I thought someon had thrown a grenade in my bed. Apparently I sat bolt upright and shouted 'incoming' before crashing down again. I do not remember a thing but she had a slight bruise where I caught her which she showed me in the morning eek

That was after spending 12 hours non-stop on Battlefield4Free. I blame the game as the nades are bright orange and v scary hehe

Have you also noticed that people pull the trigger extra hard when they're about to get shot themselves?

shout It don't make any difference how hard you pull it, it's just a switch laugh

I do it in GT5 all the time - but bizarrely, only when I'm driving something that's understeering.

For oversteery cars I'm giving much smaller inputs so I sit still...

When I lived on my own I used to sit on a swiss ball and drive, great exercise wink

hahaha

my nephews do that all the time ducking and diving. with the driving games on the controller the arms wave around as if they're suffering from spasms

thankfully i do tend to stay very still esp driving on the wheel as moving disrupts the concentration esp on f1

i've twitched when a grenade has landed on the side of my charachter and moved my upper body up and down when jumping...

Yep, mainly when trying to move quickly and urging everything to run eg when a grenade drops by my feet.

Pah, that's nothing. I dress up a ghillie suit and put paint over my face before playing sniper in BF2.

Me, last night:


I find the strands do get stuck under the mouse, though.

I scream like a little bh at anything remotely scary or surprising (even zombies in dark caves when exploring on Minecraft! paperbag)

But no, I don't dodge bullets and st like Neo.
