Same, i don't care if the health pack is big or not, i just take it :-)

Then you're walking around with 8 health and wish you hadn't wasted the 24 in the pack.

- Shooting an extra rocket when a mancubus/arachnotron is already dead. Inertia I guess...

- Switching to a different weapon if I'm with the SSG, to kill low-tiers. Not always, just depending on the situation.

This, quite often.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only one that counts the connected shots.

Nope, me too. Only time I don't count as closely is when firing on tight groupings or slaughter maps (due to abundance of ammo).

Lemme just throw in my habits, be it dumb or not.

 

~Saving every two seconds.

~Having some rather romantic times with the walls while waiting for doors/lifts to open.

~Killing Archie first. Archie's a dickbag that likes to raise the dead. No necromancy!

~Sometimes taking in the scenery, even if it wouldn't be a good time to.

~Never using the plasma rifle. Not even the BFG.

~On rare occasions I like to punch fancy goatmen, even if it'll get me slapped onto the floor.

~Examining monsters' sprites on occasion just to see what details I can notice.

~Seeing if I can shoot LSouls mid-charge just to see if it makes them slowly fly backwards.

~Having fistfights with revenants.

~Once a berserk pack is found, I take every opportunity to punch something into red mush.

~Never taking items if it means even a single number increment that item will cause will be wasted by it. Everything must be perfect.

~Contradicting that right after, I grab mega/soulspheres as soon as they are seen. Even if it means wasting armor/health I could've used.

~Sometimes when I feel like a death was either cheap or unfair, I res myself via console. If it still feels cheap, I godmod it.

~Multiplayer-wise, I actually get salty in PvP modes on occasion. Though I don't spew insults or be a big bad bitch about it.

Slightly lazily strafing to "dodge" a direct projectile, not enough to actually dodge it. Usually (always) happens when I relax myself more than I should/could/might/have to.

Whenever I save in a megawad, especially if it's a megawad that has fairly realistic level design, I always have to save in a room with a health kit in it. The room also has to have a bed or at least a chair in it, and I always have to be pointing my gun at the entrance to the room, juuuuust in case some sneaky imp gets the jump on me when I least suspect it.

I like opening and closing fast doors rapidly because I like the sound that it makes.

I am doing that with switches... ^^

-Constantly trying to instigate infighting and sometimes losing health for it.

-Berserk punching hitscanners.

-Actively trying to avoid picking up large ammo or health when I don't need it in narrow corridors.

-Savescumming, especially when recording.

Nothing too much, though I often try to cheese Doom levels (or other idTech 1 powered games) by using the infamous glide bug whenever I see an opportunity for it.

When editing my own Doom levels, I have the habit of curving every otherwise angular wall. I'm sure I'm not only one to have this minor compulsive behaviour.

Never finishing wads.

In my opinion, this is a bad habit... not dumb habit. Anyway, I actually do this quite frequently, so you made me feel bad ;P

What if the Doom WAD in question is a bad one? I remember trying out an 8 level WAD for Doom 64 EX called Earth. Played through the first two maps and then I was done. The level design was well below average. What point was there in my continuing?

If that were the case, I'd understand, but we're talking wads like Scyth and the original iwads lol
