Videogame Empathy

This is a little theory of mine.
When it's about playing games there are two kinds of people: those who just calmy press the controlers, and those who stupidly crouch and bend to the side when they're being shot in the game. Unfortunately, i'm one of the latter, i suffer from Videogame Empathy!

In some cases this goes to the extreme of kicking the air when playing a soccer game or moving the controller as far to the side as posible when you need the character in the game to turn that way.

So, which type are you? did the same thing ever happen to you? do you make fun of your friend when they do this?

I do that shit ALL the time.

Especially in driving games. I lean so far I fall off my chair.
If you were to watch me through thermal vision you'd think I was having a seizure or a spaz attack.

I never thought people actually did that until i saw my brothers friend play CoD and yes i did make fun of him. I always see it on commercials when someone is miming playing a video game and i've always thought it was so stupid. So as you can guess i have never done it.

I do sometimes.Makes the game alot more fun to me.

Not really. Most of my friends when playing Racing Games moves the stick along with the car that they're using in the game.

No I've never done that while gaming. It seems silly.

I know I did it a lot when I played racing games when I was younger. Dunno if I do it now days, haven't played any racing game in a while.

watching me playing is like seeing a statue bro.

Yea, I really do cringe when I get hit bad or stuff like that. But if I'm fully immersed, all you will see are a pair of glossy eyes.

The scene really hyped me up the first time i played god of war 3.

I turned the controller in the direction I wanted the vehicle to go, thinking that would help and during intense moments, I hold the controller closer to my face - that I can't explain.

I see, there are more people who do it! Honestly, i was expecting everyone to vote for the joke option XD

I'm the only one who does this shit between my group of friends, so i wanted a bit of support... It's not like they laugh at me (since they're already used to it) but they do exchange suspicious glances when it becomes too extravagant, lol
