I call every single one of my saved games "Alex".

I always have a lot of save games, and I save before anything that looks even slightly risky, even LucasArts games. I always put my name before the save game, then a description of why I'm saving. For example, I'd have "Chris- Entering Desert" or "Chris- Off to work".

This is a very specific one, but when I'm playing Quest for Glory games, I always play them all in a row, saving my hero. I also always play a magic user.

LOL, I always end up calling my save games either "hehe", "hihi", "dope", "werd" or "whut" I usually don't give it a second's thought and tend to use the words I can most rapidly enter so I can quickly get back to my game, hell they're numbered most of time anyhow Strangely, I actually remember where the savegame leads most of the time.

I play all my adventure games in chronological order. It's like a timeline for me.

Well, in the games when you can die I save after every move. I usually give the savegame name of the location where I save. If thise is a ritual- whell, that is my rituall.

I name my games saves after my real name "Mike" and "Mike2", if there is an extra save it would have easter eggs or something similar....

I sometimes like to play a game while muching junk food...

And in most adventure games... I like to do all the "wrong" stuff first, and get the hero killed or make him do "evil" stuff...

Specially in IF games, I love to make a nuisance of myself and type swear words, and kiss, kill, eat, etc.... anything I can....

I played Eric the Unready recently and gave the "vertical smile" to everybody I could!

Oh yeah, I like to play games in order too....

Hmmm...Well I like to dip myself into tar and feathers, run out into the village and catch a chicken, which I then eat raw while playing an adventure game. :eek:
