The curious tendency of video game players to do completely unnecessary actions over and over and over again--regardless of their actual effect on gameplay. In Platformers, some people will jump and Double Jump even when they're not crossing platforms--they simply bound across the landscape. In an Action Adventure game, they might turn an Unnecessary Combat Roll into an Unnecessary Anything Roll, somersaulting everywhere they go. A First-Person Shooter player with unlimited ammo might just unload rounds into the environment. An RPG player waiting for an Overly-Long Fighting Animation to finish might mash their buttons in time with the music.
