    ...This is a retarded list. : /

    Like, the lawnmower one-- Come the fuck on. That's like the easiest way to get money in any zelda game.

    Or the heavy inventory hoarder-- It's not like you can't, y'know, drop shit that you were going to sell to pick up something you can use now. (Because modded, yeah, there is definitely a reason to want to haul everything you can carry out and sell it in FO3. Shit gets expensive.)

    Or the race one, for that matter-- Yeah, as a matter of fucking fact, in a lot of games (especially GTA clones) you know exactly how a race is gonna go twenty seconds in. Why waste your time?

    And I can honestly say I've not done any of the others. Or hell, know anyone who does any of the others.

    11 out of 12 only because I've never played animal crossing.

    Damn. D:

    Guilty for the Zelda bushes, the relentessly grabbing the Mario wand in the air, jumping on the door in Megaman and the anxious ammo clipper. I used to do those all the time.

    That said, check out some guy's comment:

    Lol. Well played.

    8/12, which is much higher than I was expecting. Some of these [bounce door, wand grab] I haven't done since the SNES though, so lol.

    lol, this.

    Especially in Bioware games, when conversations could pop up at any moment, with so many choices... x_x

    I think I ended ME2 on like save 250ish. I save before every conversation and reload nonstop until I've seen everything and am happy with the conclusion =P

    The saving one is a given, though. Games- particularly hard ones- hardwire that shit into your skull because half the time you don't save after doing something, there will be a boss that pushes your shit in.

    Or not even bosses. /:

    Sometimes something you do, or some NPC you sided against will come back to haunt you later in the game. Like, "Damn, I wish I didn't murder that guy two hours ago, now I'm fucked..."

    Or you realize that all the attributes or skills you learned for the last 5 lvs actually were useless later on... Ect.

    Having 500+ saves means you can go back to any point and change that bad decision you made. ^^

    Same, especially the race one. If I don't drive perfectly for the first 30 seconds, it is going to get restarted.

    I can't even enter a new part of the map on Zelda without first destroying every single piece of grass I can find in the area ...even when I don't even need more health or rupees.

    I have discovered my new destiny as a lawnmower!

    Haven't played a couple of the games, but the scenarios fit other games that I have played so I ended up with 10/12.
