I have a weird gaming habit when I play my DS. When I'm playing, I tend to 'pull and push' the stylus so that it goes in and out very fast. That means that my styli lose the grip that keeps them inside the DS fast and then one day, I'll just lose my stylus. I've gone through about 4 so far

When I play games like The Legend of Zelda I talk to all the NPC's multiple times to see if they say anything new XP

It's that bad huh. 
I probably get too into it, I'm the same when I play WoW, if I die from something silly I'll usually be mouthing off to myself, or if I get ganked I'll tell the other player what a faggot he is, etc. I guess I was surprised how little complaining I heard on your end. 
I do that too. My stylus will fall right out of the DS if you hold it so the slot is facing down. But I have managed to keep both my original styli for nearly 2 years.

when my one friend really gets into a game (seems like it happens more on multiplayer), sometimes his mouth opens and gets wider. It's kinda strange but his gf points it out every so often and can't help but laugh at him.

I throw the controller through the TV if a level boss really talks trash to me after whuping my ass (or stomps over my mutilated corpse) thinking to myself "I finally got him!" XD
j/k, I'll have an answer later for you guys on that one!

XD There were a few times in later parts of RE5 where the enemies have machine guns and they're shooting at me and I'm running for cover going "ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" lol.

I think my most uttered phrase when playing a shooting game is "fuckfuckfuckfuck..." - usually said when I'm getting shot to hell running for cover. You know, because I'm dumb and not behind cover in the first place. "GOD DAMMIT!" is a close second though. I also have a habit of talking crap to the screen after I finally beat a boss or something that's been giving me a hard time.

Meh, I think it's hard to pick out your own silly habits, and Jeff yelling 'God Dammit' is just American Lynk, we overreact to everything. As for me, I know I do the whole multiple talking to NPCs thing, and I do the check every corner thing in RPGs, and I'm pretty sure I yell at the screen in FPS games, hard to say since life isn't in 3rd, so I can't really see myself... 
From the few times playing the FIIIIIVE demo with Lynk, I did notice that sometimes I was like... 'where the fuck did he go' then glance at the map and he's scavenging some building halfway backwards toward the beginning XD. Didn't notice the 'ows' since Lynk doesn't have a PS3 mic, though my mic was on, but I don't think I said anything.

My brother pointed out a habit of mine that I did not notice. Whenever I play a console, I sit on a chair about 1 and a half meters away from the tv, then as I play, I kind of edge closer. I've never really noticed that.

Ah yes, for habits I've had historically, I'd say as a child I was a demon with games.
I've broken two discs in half as a kid, one was Alundra for PS1 because it was a used copy that was prone to freezing (I later rebought it and beat it), and the other was NBA 2K2 because I got my ass kicked every which way (friends, the AI) and felt the need to relieve my stress with it by going the extra mile.
I've also broken a couple of controllers by slamming them on the ground, like an Xbox controller over NBA 2K5 (mostly because I lost a 10 point lead in the fourth quarter and went bonkers over letting the game slip), and I know I broke a PS2 controller as well but I can't think of the game that drove me to do it.
As I got older, I've basically stuck with the lifelong habit of cursing at a game ("Damnit!") to hating on the developers and stating things that have made my playthrough difficult ("Why did they have to make the platforms so far apart!? They're a bunch of assholes!").
Sometimes I still boycott a game and choose not to play it for a while if it's REALLY pissing me off!
