- Rob identifies 7 pointless habits no gamer can resist. Do you have any of these weird gaming habits? Can you think of any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments.
It’s very easy to slip into pointless habits when playing games. The way we can’t progress in a level until we’ve smashed every gaming crate, or the way we try to explore every bit of the map before progressing the story. Maybe you don’t have all these bad gaming habits, but you’ve probably kept hold of pointless items in the past, or accidentally wasted a powerful weapon by not using it. And a special shout out to people who always save their games twice. We see you!
And if you’re just joining us: yes, Rob’s Friday Features are back. Catch up on recent episodes here….

A new Friday Feature? This is becoming a habit.
Have you caught our recent Friday Features? Here's another on impossible minigames: ruclips.net/video/IiLfUqE-tEo/видео.html
Glad to see them back!
Thought this was the Tuesday checklist
Yes!!!! Glad to see the return of a classic ❤
Yes!!!! I love Friday features 🎮❤
Friday Features with Rob is main reason I watch this channel. Odd times I watch an event series like the Christmas Maze or Metal Gear
Game: *autosaves*
Me: "Cool, now let me just manual save over that."
This is actually a good habit (although save in a different slot). One of the things I discovered when beta-testing DAI was that 2 autosaves in a row will often both try to load, and if the game crashes, the autosave will bug (this is especially so when you're doing a "judgement" at Skyhold). This was never fixed. As a result, I now save manually and also delete the autosave so this cannot happen.
Well, some games only have a single autosave slot. And if you have multiple game files going on, you can lose progress if you don't have regular manual saves on a file.
Yep me too
It is an article of faith in my household that auto saves aren't real
Can’t be too safe with saves 😂
I've missed the Friday feature. I'm so glad you've brought these back.
old "habits" die hard...watching THIS friday feature format every week is a habit i will never kick
same
Yep. I was in a withdrawal when it changed or just straight up not being made. Glad they continued with the Friday Features. All is right with the world again
When I’m done with a game, if there’s a hub/base/home/village that the main character can go to, I take them home and save the game there.
Damn this is me in Genshin. When I'm done I always fly back to Qingyun Peak and make the trek up to the Adepti Abode, sit on the stone bench and save there. I don't know why, just feels like home to me I guess.
One of my habits is watching these Friday Features on a loop for about ten years now! Good to see them back guys!
How DARE Delsin call Rob an "Imaginary animal".
YEAH! I'm 93% certain Rob is real!
“Have you had any romantic feeling for a box?”
* flash back to Portal 1, the weighted companion cube *
I named her 'Megan'. But was forced to mercilessly toss her into the incinerator. I'm a monster, and the guilt of that moment haunts me to this day... Thanks GLaDoS!
I actually restarted Witcher 3 very quickly into my first playthrough after my companion scolded me for killing a monster for free. I'm one of those "kindness over all" players and I hadn't played the first two games and wasn't aware of Geralt's absolute mercenary mindset, so I started over and stayed in character by demanding money for every monster slain. After a few hours of being verbally abused by every passing NPC I got over my guilt pretty easily.
As a fellow double saver I feel strangely validated. So stoked for the return of the Friday feature. Dave’s tally boards might be one of the best running jokes with no dialogue on the channel.
Wait... the Friday feature is back??
Yeah- it's been back for a few weeks 🙂
Yes sir, they are BACK, been back for around a month now :)
What a nostalgic day, it’s been a while. I always follow this, ah and mgs tally.
Been back since Ash left…
I just found out and i am happy about it i used to watch every Friday episode until they changed it was not good anymore
Break all the things, hoard useless items, never use good items, determine where the goal is and go the other direction, talk to everyone along the way and reluctantly be the good guy… for trophies. Damn that eighth habit; trophy hunting
In a lot of games the junk you get from box smashing is actually... generic currency that you can stack huge piles of. So yeah you don't really fill up on that.
Double jumping every single time I jump whether it is required or not.
We could also add jumping around instead of walking if the game lets you. Especially in MMOs and stuff.
Better to be safe and make the jump than miss it and lose health or a life. Right?
I mean, you gotta make sure you get up the ledge! :D
One habit that I have is the uncontrollable desire to pick up everything that isn't nailed down or on fire.For crafting purposes, you see.
Conversations between Aloy and Erend are always worth listening to.
These Friday Features coming back is what I really needed in life right now
Hitting Square. Reloading after even just a single shot fired in pretty much any game with guns has begun so baked into my muscle memory that it infects other games. I've tried to reload my lightsabre in Jedi Survivor more times than I care to admit and it's cost me dearly in Helldivers because when you reload, you don't just replace the rounds you've used. Oh no, you bin the rest of the mag. (tldr, reloading)
I often make it a point to 100% explore the map. Especially when you get rewarded for it like FF16s 'Here Be Rosfields' trophy.
Rob is absolutely smashing these Friday features! Honestly, he could talk about ‘Best Video Game Poop’ and i’d eagerly sit and listen to every word 😄👏🏻
Bloody hell, this touched a nerve! I have come to realise, I’m a chronic inventory organiser. All of my inventories are organised by element, weapon type or strength, health or some other random categories I place on myself. My No Man’s Sky inventory is a thing of beauty 😂
In many games wiht multiple charaacters I have a flexible system that works... but I never do it exactly the same way twice.
Some people let the game choose where their looted/crafted items go. I've peeked at their inventories a few times, and it's terrifying. What kind of psychopath mixes their potions?!
Yup, ALL of the above.
I personally also have the really bad habit of never using my healing items in JRPGs, I will play any Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Breath of Fire, Kingdom Hearts, etc., and never use a Potion, Ether, Elixir, or Phoenix Down, because I might need it later for the final boss and even then, end up not using it because you never know.
Well, you might need them in Hard Mode! Even though Hard Mode won't let you use items...
My save trauma came about when playing kingdom hearts 1 . Was in hollow bastion , had only one save file, went to save and while i was saving , lost power along with my save data 😭 had to redo everything
0:43 hey let’s go the board still here
I love how consistent they are with this bit
"We could really use a Megalixir now."
"What? Those are full party heals I'm not just going to waste them!"
"This is the final boss. And you have 16!"
What if I use all 16 Megalixirs and there's a secret final boss? 😂
Yeah! I ONLY have 16! Now if I had 50, maybe I could spare one or two...
Listening to every single line of a conversation NPCs are having in the background. Or, alternatively, taking in every single minute of an in-universe TV show/movie/radio broadcast or whatever else. Did I need to stand still in an imaginary theater in Alan Wake 2 and watch every single scene of a fake short film? No, I didn't. Did I, in fact, stand still in an imaginary theater in Alan Wake 2 and watch every single scene of a fake short film? Yes, I did.
hello, you've caught me now getting used to this Friday Features again and looking forward to it each Friday morning now!
The Friday Features are SO well written, SO artfully crafted, SO magnificently executed. They always make me laugh, regardless of what else is going on in my life. It is impossible to overstate how that "Hello, you've caught me..." immediately lifts my mood. I can't help but smile, knowing that I'm in for a treat. If we measure art by how it evokes emotions, soothes us and helps us go on with our lives, then these are genuinely an art form.
A habit I have is hoarding all level up resources until like halfway through, and then using them all once I get to a point where it gets too hard for me to continue. Totally new game at that point
I also spread my save files over many slots as I always expect corruption of save files. It rarely ever happened to me but when it did I was glad that I had at least one other file to fall back to.
The saving the starting gear in an rpg hit so home😂 i played through all of FF7 rebirth with clouds buster sword, only changing it when i got a new weapon to get that ability and then go back to the buster sword
Not quite boxes, but whenever I visit Costa Del Sol, Cloud will be smashing all the tables and chairs...while passers-by call him a "God on Wheels" 😂😂
It's just so satisfying
The bit about insisting on manually double-saving caused me to have an epiphany: I think my trust issues as an adult all stem from playing Fallout New Vegas on PS3 as a kid, and never having any idea whether checkpoints or autosaves would work, not work, or just cause the system to crash for the lolz.
I'm already starting to sound like a broken record, but another fantastic Friday Feature. You're absolutely smashing it with the return of these - relatable, humorous, and tremendous use of subtle, clever and obvious laughs. This woven in with the skits, tallyboards, "imaginary friends"...ah...chef's kiss.
Underrated comment. Couldn’t agree more. Stoked on its return. Now do we dare hold out hope for the return of One on Onesie.
@@MrFreeth26 Thanks, Mr Freeth. Personally, I'm just grateful for the Friday Features, and I think it would be a bit too bold to wish for One on Onesie as well. To me, that - and Access Granted more generally - was more a Nath and Dave thing, and with Nath no longer a permanent on-camera member, I just enjoy his cameos when and if they arrive.
Any game with levelling (FF, Pokemon, nino kuni etc), everyone must be levelled by a specific amount every new area before i can leave it.
6:30 This reminds me of how much it hurt my soul when Dave started selling old early weapons/equipment in his FFVII stream. It was like breaking some unspoken law of gaming. Dave, how could you.
I can pinpoint my need to explore every inch of a map before continuing to Star Ocean: Til the End of Time, which gave you a percentage on screen of how much of the map was explored.
And saving twice takes me back to the days of memory cards, and when auto-saves werent a thing. “I’ll save on this card…better save to second card in case the first gets corrupted or is otherwise messed up”
You know Rob smashed his GCSE English. His use of language is fantastic
I 100% agree on all of them. It's basicaly me playing. Another habit is, replaying the tutorials, even if I knew all the stuff already, just to have the strange impression I would learn a 'secret' trick/hint/tipp or even mechanic, I didn't know before, though I maybe even finished the game once. Nice video !😂😂
Can I just acknowledge that these new videos have been brilliant. They were great already, but it feels like there's all this new energy and creativity and its really bloody fab to see!
No one will ever tell me a good reason that Link should not destroy every pot, box, blade of grass, chus. The last ones particularly fun in Majora's Mask as Goron Link with spikes.
One of mine is in open world games where for some unknown reason, when I finish playing, like in Skyrim, I have to go home and sit by the fire.
The double save thing got me! 😂 I do it without even thinking now, because I've done it for so long!😂
Honestly, I have been enjoying the Friday features recently. They're as perfect as the peak days, and I'm absolutely loving it. Keep up the good work, guys. For the rest of the channels trying to become as good as PlayStation Access, I have some wisdom to offer. GIT GUD!
Fridays are the best day of the week now. loving Rosie as the Knight "help" 🤣
"...cult members to cult embers..." 🤣 Well played, sir! Well played.
Yeah, I spend a good 5-10 minutes destroying every crate in that sequence as barret in FFVII remake
In RPG or as the west calls them now JRPG. I would do a bit of story and then go back to all the villages, citys, areas in the game to talk to every single npc there is, to see if they say any more dialogue and learn more stuff, then back to story and the repeat again, this would take me ages as a kid to do but I had the drive to do it then. Now as an adult I want to do that, I just don't have the energy or time to do that now.
In FF16 there hasn’t been one request I had Clive turn down.
I don’t even try out of curiosity to see what happens if he says “No!”
I love the Friday feature with Rob! Thanks for bringing it back!
Here's one habit for any smokers out there when ur playing an rpg after every battle we take a small smoke break before the next battle or even when u are on the menu prepping ur characters for a big fight we may take a smoke break during that.
This one thing brings me back to this account with a pure love based fury! The Friday Feature!!!!!!!
Mainly because I’m simple af, love lists, and absolutely love Rob (and Delsin). Thank you!!!!!!!
I blame Zelda games for my destructive relationship with containers. I'm sure other games did it before, but Zelda did it best. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and sate my addiction to destruction and break something.
😎🍻😎
Wanted to add as well that I also horde my ammo, since trophy hunting started i learned that I’ll need extra ammo even if I don’t use all of it because there could be a collectible behind a wall, Tomb Raider 2013 is the beat example for it, limited ammo post story, and then needing an explosive ammo bullet to get behind a metal wall so always good to get into the habit of hording the ammo you also may or may not need in the end
So glad to have Rob's "7 Things..." videos back!
Been really enjoying the return of friday features.
another great video Rob, really thank you Ive missed your Friday Features a lot
Those Shinra crates, though... They know what's coming...
As an "older" gamer.. I am, and have always been guilty of every single one of these "habits". They have, as you said become safety nets of pure goodness and have never let me down. Now to save again in case I didn't already.
Rob, his wife and a… box???
Not the love triangle I was expecting. 😂😅
Right! Rob’s having an affair with LBOX.
@@princegrooveDon't google "LBOX" on a shared computer or in polite company.
Really, MGS fan that he is, seems only natural!
The box one is so true! 🤣 I think the OG Ratchet games are what initially built this habit up for me...
Yooo Friday Feature
I could cry, I'm so happy this format is back! Now I can resume my habit of watching it at dinner time.
I have really missed watching Rob deliver these lists weekly! Always amazing to see the crew having fun. Robs degree in English really shows and he is always so poetic and precise with his words. Love it! Keep it up guys!
Lol at map exploration.
I taught all my kids to go 'the wrong way on purpose' to find extra items.
And oh the misery when you end up dropping down somewhere without being able to go back up, or the dreaded cut scene that whisks you away to another area..
For me it’s especially Sora’s keyblade and Cloud’s buster sword. They’re just too iconic to switch out
Bonus points to a game if you can disguise one weapon as another.
Some of my habits are: 1. I have to organize my inventory any time I have one, especially if it's a gride style inventory like Resident Evil or Final fantasy 14. I'm not this organized irl but in games it's like I just see that inventory & have the urge to put everything in a specific order. 2. Restarting a game if my character looks wrong. It could be smallest thing like the hair is a shade off or the nose is slightly off & I will scrap the entire process I've made just to go back to fix my character. 3. Steal everything that isn't nail down & even the nails themselves if I can. Even something shiny will catch my eye & draw me in like Garrett in the thief series. When i see the shiny I must have it even when it's not something I can pick it up
In pokemon I double save whenever I get a shiny pokemon. To make sure I don't lose it.
Lovely to see Friday Features again! ^_^ ❤
(Sometimes I like to binge them when I'm not feeling well 🙂 )
Nice to see these back, signals the start of the weekend
My bad gaming habit is whenever i play anything to with guns i use about 10-15 rounds then reload immediately, instead of actually using the mag. I do it all the time lol 😅. Please tell me that i'm not the only one. Just a note i'm only talking about single player games not online.
I'm guilty of most of these especially the save one, the sage words of "save early, save often" have never left my mind (thanks dad), also I like to talk to the video game characters by praising them or just saying "get out of my way" lol
You really got me trying to trace where I started breaking boxes, I can't tell, back then turn base RPGs was the genre I generally hung around the most... maybe Mario???
completely on your side. can't resist smashing crates, can't stop saving more than once (in fallout 4 I save three times when I close the game and twice every other time I save), talking to every companion if something happened in the game.....but I rarely if ever refuse a quest reward. But I'm neutral good to neutral evil irl too.
Another habbit I'm happy never to quit: watching friday features. Really happy to have you back Rob.
Keep em coming Rob, loving the Friday features 🎉🎉🎉
Rob is spoiling us...by letting us catch him doing 7 things again every Friday🙌🙌
I blame Final Fantasy for the Smash Every Crates. Because some stuff can be missable, I like to make sure I open every single one.
I think what started me rapidly saving was somehow the save file got corrupted.
I love that Robb is doing the Friday features again! It just hits in that nostalgia nerve. Also Rosie was amazing in this one! Also I love the new Baldur’s Gate 3 tally! I love the channel so much and have never commented but I had to shout out Rosie on this video. Thank you for all the entertainment over the years, you all are awesome!
On the double saving thing, that habit started for me personally because i once did actually not save and lose hours of progress when i turned the system off after thinking id saved(this was back when games didnt have auto saves as standard)
1:52
I remember the dead end room in Bloodborne filled with jars, and your instinct is to immediately smash them all to bits hoping to see what’s inside, since it’s a FromSoft game. The problem is they are all empty.
Keep up the good work Rob and team. I know it's not easy to keep coming up with ideas for Friday
My worst habit is hoarding all the items I can find for when it MIGHT be useful. Needless to say, they never get used. 😂😂😂
So glad these are back!!
I do #3 in every single RE game I’ve ever played. Literally stash and horde every weapon/ammo type I find and use only my knife or handgun on every enemy, not because I’m trying to get an achievement, but because for some reason I’m deathly afraid of reaching an impossible boss and not having any good ammo left to kill it. Needless to say, I always end the game with way more ammo than I know what to do with.
In Bards Tale you make a deal with the guy that builds the barrels, you destroy every barrel you see forcing people to buy new ones.
0:42 i love the board cut away
Good to have you back Rob, I love going on about ridge racer, any version really but RidgeRacers 2 on the PSP was ace and when it came out on PS5 I was so happy but no trophies or online was like being told off and not allowed to play with my friends 😂
I do the stockpiling powerful weapons or ammo thing too. But for me it's the equally irrational feeling that an OP weapon is sort of... cheating. Not that I'd accuse anyone else of improper behaviour, but in my own head, I want to use the weakest weapon capable of doing the job. Then wonder why it takes me 10 tries.
So glad the Friday Features are back 👍
I love the one that ppl always being quiet in real life during stealth. 😂 . 🎉 . I remember him saying that on an older one.
I am happy to see Rob do the Friday Feature. Have a good one!
Dear @PlayStationAccess. Thank you for almost doing me in with this video. Fortunately, the bite of sandwich I inhaled whist reading 'Crate Expectations' eventually dislodged itself. But not until after much violence and choking laughter. Continue doing the Good Work.
(Seriously, give that editor a raise).
Enjoyed this, Rob! I could relate to double saving (because you don't trust the auto save to do the job), hoarding the items/weapons and catching up with every companion. I felt like it was a target to get to 99 of all items in FF7 and collect the max of each spell in FF8, for example.
Omggggg, Friday features are back! My subscription will too then!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
7:30 professor penguin appreciates the honesty
So happy these are back!!!
(Voice of David Attenborough) amd here we see the wild and majestic Rob Pearson calling out every gamer on their pointless gaming habits
I'm guilty of 6 of the ones on this list as well as the habit over watching Friday features I'm glad these are back
Love these videos so glad they are back
Man a new friday feature on my timeline just took me back to better days. Had a big smile on my face watching this one thanks guys
I remember many times in video games where I stock up on healing items and other things such as ammo weapons etc, but i almost never end up using them so by the end of the game I've got so much stuff i could have done without
Crates: That strange Bard's Tale game where you were paid by the barrel maker to smash as many as you could so he would sell more.
