Do you make faces while gaming?

April 12th, 2012

A few years ago, the New York Times ran a video documenting the intense focus of young video game players (embedded above). It's captivating, powerful and funny stuff.

As for me, I've caught myself biting my lower lip or furrowing my eyebrows during intense gaming moments. Beyond that, I'm not sure I make many faces. At least my wife or other local multiplayers have never said anything about my gaming mug. 

What about you: Do you make faces while gaming? Do they vary by genre? And what's the best "game face" you've ever seen on someone? Do tell.

1st! ^^
I am usually shouting something at my screen like, "Die b!@tch! >:D Just Kidding

I am as emotionless as it gets :D

Lol at the girl listening to Russian music xD

What was that sexual content at 2:00 and why was a kid of 4 years playing it? xD

It takes 47 muscles to frown,and 17 to smile.. It only takes 3 to end a life.. One shot, one kill.

I yell and swear at the screen all the time, but it is not a mirror so I actually have no idea if I make faces. Eh I know myself to well, I do make faces, just don't know what they look like.

And the black kid crying in the video, wtf was that.

I was wondering the same thing, lol.

I'm sure I make faces, as most people do (even if they think they don't). One of my friends irl makes the most ridiculous faces while gaming. It's really hard to describe without seeing it. A lot of head-tilting and bizarre mouth movements are involved.

Only when things get intense or close i may shout a few times or make some angry or happy faces, otherwise its mostly emotionless face just concentrating.

If violent videos games taught me how to read.Would educational video games teach me how to destroy.

You and me both. I take it personally when I play a sports game.

I don't know whether I make faces. But I do know I have an intense stare when i play games. I should record myself.

Im a lurker

Absolutely and I get louder and there's more movement the more intense/hard the game gets

I'm always stoic when it comes to gaming, no cursing, no faces no real attachment to the game.

Anything worth having is worth working hard for.

I don't know why, but I get extremely attatched to characters and the back-stories. It is because of this that I mainly get mad when there is a crucial point in the story. However, partyboying enemies piss me off....always....
