#RTCQ QuirksHey RT,
A buddy of mine recently told me that I am one of his favorite people to play Halo with. At first I was flattered, but then he told me why he loves playing with me so much. Apparently I have the habit of shouting really cheesy one liners whenever I'm doing well in a match. Classic phrases such as "TAKE A SEAT, BUDDY!" and "OH I'M SORRY, WAS THAT YOUR FACE?" have made me the laughing stock of my circle of gamer friends. Ladies and gentlemen, apparently I am that guy when I play video games. I would say I'm sorry, but what's really sorry is YOUR AIM- sorry, sorry, that one came out of nowhere.
Anyway, here's my Community Question for you guys this week!
What are some funny/interesting habits or quirks that you have developed over the years? Don't have any? What about your friends?
Maybe you always answer the phone the same way, or perhaps you eat the things on your plate in a particular order. Whatever you do, feel free to share it in the comments below

I'm trying to break the habit...but then I get all nervous and I keep doing it. XD
And anytime I use the vocal functions on my Kinect, I try to be as polite as possible just in case the fucking thing becomes sentient.
"Xbox. Next Episode. Thank you....I love you..."

Belligerent and Numerous
You Magnificent Bastard, I read your book!
Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!
BLARG!
HOT POCKET!
I try to work that line into every movie I watch
I'm sorry to anyone who has to eat with me.
I constantly reference Monty Python and Toby Turner, since nothing is ever irrelevant to those.
I'm pretty much like you when it comes to gaming,
and I do that awkward laughing thing when I'm nervous. Where nothing is funny but I keep chuckling anyways.
*bite-bite-flip-drink-bite-chips-bite-flip...*
*At A&W*
Wife: What is taking them so long, are they slaughtering the cow in there?"
Me: You're a cow...... I mean.... I love you.....
Wife: *Stares*
*At Home*
Wife: Look at this cat, he's chasing his tail!
Me: You're chasing your tail.
Wife: *Sighs*
*Driving*
Wife: That car must have the biggest trunk ever (referring to a Chrysler Concorde)
... You get the picture
It's been two years of marriage, two years of dating, and three years of friendship - and we're still together despite this.
That first one had me on the floor laughing. Just imagining that whole scene taking place.
Another long standing habit include drinking from the side of my mouth, I do not know why and never notice until someone points it out. It has led to many spilled drinks which I tend to reply to people who notice it "I have a bit of a drinking problem"
I also have a bad habit of tapping or gently guiding people by the shoulder without asking them to move first. I tend to get in trouble the most with this one and it seems like I have bad manners. It comes from living with my mother who is losing her eyesight and can't really see which way she needs to move to get out of the way for something.
The food on my plate must not touch the other food. Like my rice must not touch my pumkin or else I won't eat it. I also have a specific order of eating.
There are more, but then I will just sound certifiably insane.
noob is actually a person with one gun and one magazine that beasts with it
I believe it was Gus and Geoff that mentioned on the podcast about their dislike for talking on the phone. I share that feeling very much. Unfortunately I have to make and take calls often. Well, one day I noticed that when I say "goodbye" in a cheerful manner on the phone, I give a little, awkward wave with my free hand. I don't know why, but I must look stupid to people that wander into the office at that time.

So far I have broken the screen of two of my phones, shattered a plate, cracked the case of my friends iPhone and even spilled a bottle of coke in a restaurant. I would have hoped I would learn to either catch better or not slide bottles around, but for some reason my brain hasn't realised that I'm terrible at it.
Wanna hae fun? Try to eat the flakes with a fork...
I eat the crust of my sandwich or toast first always. I also will eat one specific side of it or do the bite-flip thing like Miles.
I am a pretty level headed and quiet individual but when I do anything I find to be frustratingly difficult in a video game I turn into micheal from rage quit.
I have a tendency to flinch and jump a little bit whenever I walk around a corner and see a claymore in an FPS even before it blows up.
I am bad at holding in a laugh if somebody does something funny or embarrassing. I have even done it to cashiers that I then had to buy something from afterwards...very awkward situation.
I also have a tendency to give a little hysterical laugh (think something like this> www.youtube.com/watch?v=je4Qac4L0qg but slightly more manly sounding) when something happens and I'm not sure what just happened but it was kind of shocking or unbelievable if i'm playing games. Even when I'm on game chat online.
I have a tendency to try not to step on lines in tiles when I'm walking somewhere and i'm bored.
I often say the things I'm texting out loud as well as sometimes the things I'm thinking even when I'm not in a conversation. This also causes me to blurt out half baked thoughts to those around me causing them to stare at me awkwardly until I explain.
I'm sure there is more but I can't think of them at the moment.
This is because my funny habit is being six and socially unacceptable.
As for gaming, for some reason when I get angry my voice goes falsetto. I don't really understand why.
A friend of mine also has a habit of, every time he dies in a video game for a reason he doesn't like, he'll say something like, "That's such bullshit!", and then explain in detail exactly what happened and why it was bullshit, which is pretty entertaining.
I've even started auctioning Headshots out in one Halo Reach FFA I had. So awesome.
