Not really. Within two years, yeah, I'm sure I have, but two years isn't really "recent".

I think I kicked the habit because I'm trying to un-learn all of my weird habits and tendencies. . .it was expected when I was a kid, a little weird when I was a teenager, but I am paranoid about creeping people out so I try to avoid publicizing my weirdness/immaturity/whatever.

damn...you guys reminded me of this stuff...
I used to imagine it was sonic, just because he's so damn fast.

I think this is common if you've played platformers in your early life.

I can't say I have played Hanako's game recently; at home our floor is wood and the tile at campus is uniform. But, I definitely played it back in the day.

I sometimes do it when I see ground with neatly placed, even rocks.

OH MY GOD I WANT TO GO PLAY IT NOWno I'm not lonely.

And to make another, I also imagined something running along side my car, but it was a raptor. I was (...am) a big Jurassic Park fan.

I still move as a Bishop or a knight on my kitchen floor.

Am I the only guy who tried not to step on the black/off squares?

My variation was that our car had a giant buzzsaw sticking out of it and I gave myself points for cutting down telephone poles or slicing guard rails. I also would try to predict when the telephone poles switched to the other side of the street so that I could get maximum points. That was fun.

I play it. Also, everyone, the floor is now lava, how do you not die?

Pillows are your greatest ally against the lava horde.

Damn. I thought I was plain wierd when I did this. It's surprising how many other people do little things like this.

I play this all the time, a lot less when i got my computer

mine was a sword that would break on some objects, but would cut others. cutting would give points but no score is kept. breaking would be bad somehow.

I used to do this a lot.
Also on surfaces with lots of little tiles I try to step on as few tiles at once as possible when I walk, which can lead to odd looks.

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about chess (from the last scene) and was seriously confused as to why nobody would call it by name

its name is Hanako's Game. learn it.

also, the game

well. whenever i go anyplace with tiles i end up playing it one way or the other..

back in high school i was kicked out of the room once, ended up playing hanako's game while counting the tiles on the floor i was in.. i think i reached 3000 before giving up,, >.<
