UM writes: If you’ve played video games for practically your entire life as I have, you’ve probably developed a few bad habits over the years. Recently, as my time to game grows shorter and my OCD gets less severe, I’ve tried to break a few of them, and have had some degree of success.
After twenty years there are “bad” things I’ve done while playing games that I finally, finally no longer do. I talk about what I mean by that below, along with discussing the game that inspired the change in my behavior. Just read on, you’ll see what I mean and probably can relate to a few.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others.

The developers of Lordbound increased the scope as they became more familiar with the Creation Kit and got inspired by the original Skyrim.
This was an very interesting article, and different from all the other crap that get posted here. I felt it was fresh, I could easily understand the points made..
+1 for a good read. Thank you.. Bring us more that is worth reading..
Great list. I do all of those and it really detracts from the enjoyment of games.
I still remember hoarding all my mini-nukes in Fallout, you know for something really tough, then never even ended up using them.
Same with online MP too, with full-time work (and overtime) and life I only have time to play games at most 5 hours a week so I always start off doing reasonably well in MP then after a few months get smoked every match, which turns me off of the MP naturally.
Hopefully this new push with Co-operative online MP in games like Destiny and The Division will bring the joys of online MP to the massess.
Fun article. Nice job.
Lol, I still do 3 out of the 5, especially the "Restarting After Failing Stealth" one.
This was an excellent article actually. It shows how many gamers actually play the same way and we all don't realize it.
