I do that a little, but my husband does it a lot; I find it hilarious.
Your brain is hard-wired to respond to certain stimuli in certain ways. You'll lean around a corner even if it's a virtual corner and give a little jump when a fake monster comes after you.
I'm replaying Oblivion right now, and I got goosebumps all over when a zombie came at me from a hidden passage in an Ayleid ruin. As far as my hind-brain was concerned, I was fluffing my fur to look larger and present more of a threat -- a reaction that's probably at least 20 million years old, yet it's still part of our genetic code.
People are weird animals, and that is totally normal. :)
I would definitely say PC for both. Steam had them on their big holiday sale, so I picked them up for a song and have thoroughly enjoyed replaying them even with the clunky old graphics.
And yes, even with those lousy graphics, I still lean in my chair to look around corners. :)
Gamers? Is this normal?

I've never been able to get into Oblivion, which depresses me. I just can't take the graphic drop from Skyrim to Oblivion anymore.
Thanks for the response. I've never actually seen someone else do this so I've never been sure if I was alone in this.

This is completely normal. I do this anytime I do something on the computer or draw or on a game. I think it means you are intensely focused.
I would definitely say PC for both. Steam had them on their big holiday sale, so I picked them up for a song and have thoroughly enjoyed replaying them even with the clunky old graphics.
And yes, even with those lousy graphics, I still lean in my chair to look around corners. :)
I played console and it was okay, but I've heard pc was better. And if you play morrowind it is only for pc and original Xbox. So I would go for pc
