Do you reenact video game animations/mannerisms when you're alone at home?

I compulsively pretend that I am holding a pistol when I walk down my hallway. I’m literally holding my imaginary handgun in center-axis relock position as I sweep for hostiles and sharply turn the corner to my bathroom to scan for enemies. The only reason I know what the fuck center-axis relock is is because that’s what Sam Fisher uses.

I have had this problem for years.

I walk around the house like Chris and Leon do in Resident Evil. I also genuinely used to bolt up the stairs swinging my fake gun back and forth like a FPS game, because that’s what cool kids do.

Not typically, but I appear to be crashing after reading the original post

Shamefully, yes. One of the ways I rest my hands when standing is just close enough to holding an assault rifle that it’s shocking.

Phoenix Wright posing is as common in my life as JoJo posing.

I use the Deadly Premonition “closing my eyes, putting my head down, and wave my hand in the air” animation for various situations and emotions at least once a day in private or in public. It started as a joke but over time became a part of me.

Oh, this shit got me laid once.

Every time I’m alone I repeatedly exclaim “for real!” a la Ryuji.

I did go through a phase with this. My baby brother would mimic me when I did it to him.

i love to do a front flip and shoot rocket boost out of my ass like a rocket league car

I’m the guy that waves his hand every time I approach an automatic door.

I legit had a Deadly Premonition mimicry phase. Like, for the (thankfully brief) period that I smoked, I mimicked the way York uses his lighter. I also caught myself doing the “tap your chest with your index finger” thing while I was thinking once. I’ve also done the weird hand wave York does, but that’s generally just because I tend to gesticulate already and it was the most natural movement in the moment.

Besides the Ocelot gestures everyone seems to do, I gotta admit that I don’t mimic gaming gestures much - but that hasn’t stopped me from working in weird idle animation gestures into scripts every now and again. Basically I try to force actors to do it instead of doing it myself.
