Finding New and Unintended Ways of Playing Games

Ronald Diemicke writes "World of Warcraft players sometimes hang out in front of Ironforge and dance. Fallout 3 players seek out new and elaborate ways of destroying their avatar. Brawlers in Smash Brothers have an itchy pause finger, ready to catch any humiliatingly hilarious screengrabs. The thugs running rampant in Grand Theft Auto are putting Evil Knievel to shame by using a full assortment of vehicles to pull off some incredible stunt work. Personally, I like to collect and move things. My favorite is making piles of bodies in any game that lets me move them around. Ever catch yourself doing something in-game that isn't exactly part of the game, or just something really dumb?"

    What's with modding barely related karma-whoring wikipedia linkage as "informative"? The topic is "what weird shit do you do while gaming", not "what unrelated shit from wikipedia can you link to". Pathetic, both the karma-whoring and the moron moderators that fall for this.
