Do you ever notice anything weird you do when you play a song? Well, I do. Post here what happens to your various body parts (no, not that one you perverts), and why you think you do that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hands (Other than the fingers you play with):
Eyes:
Mouth:
Legs:
Inside your head (What you're thinking/not thinking):
Other Various Parts:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: (I play spread, askl)
Hands: My pinkys usually angle upwards and curl up as much as possible. I don't know why, but that just helps me play. If I don't have them curled up, I feel very weird and conscious when I play, distracting me. My thumbs occasionally scratch (like I have an itch) the outsides of my index fingers, or my index fingers curl up and scratch the webbing between my indexes and thumb, only when I'm on a freeze or pause or something. I think that happens just because I feel like I get hyper-sensitive when I play.
Eyes: My eyes focus where the text timing comes up (marv, perf, etc). I don't know why, but ever since I started playing DDR and stepmania, I've always looked at that part of the screen. I guess it's just because it's sort of near the middle, but a little higher, giving me time to comprehend the note, and then time it to hit it correctly. I rarely blink when I play, but when I do, it doesn't distract me. I think my friend counted me blinking like, 5 times in a 2 minute song, just because my eyes don't dry out quickly. Or, I sometimes blink constantly. Dunno why.
Mouth: I usually have my mouth hanging open, mainly because I breath through my mouth more often than my nose. Sometimes my lower jaw quivers in beat with the music. I also open my mouth all the way, like I'm popping my ears. Very weird. My friends tease me about it all the time when I play DDR, mainly because I'm kind of chubby and I get a double-chin when I do that. I also lick my lips in sync with the music sometime, too. Whenever a strand of my hair droops down, I try as much as possible to blow it out of the way, but that usually doesn't work. I end up exiting the song and fixing my hair most of the time.
Legs: I always have my left leg folded underneath me. My right leg is either firmly planted on the ground, or it's bouncing along with the BPM of the song.
Inside My Head: Whenever I play a song, I blank out. The only thing I really hear is a metronome to the BPM. I sort of hear the song, but I don't listen. I can hear the rhythm, but not the words, or really anything else. If there's a TV on or something, I can hear it when I start the song, but when I'm playing it, I don't hear it at all. Then, when the song is over, I can hear the TV again. It really has nothing to do with the volume of the music or TV, it's just the concentration I put into stepmania.
Other Various Parts:
Ears: I twitch my ears a lot, kind of like I'm tuning into the music more clearly.
Chest: Whenever I play a fast stream, or a huge jump-stream, my chest tightens up, which really hurts. But it does help me get through those tough parts.
Arms: Fast stream/Jump streams again, I tighten up my arms more than necessary, and I raise my shoulders when I do them.
Butt: I clench it all the time >.>
