I wondered if others do this.

Somewhere, when I was a kid, I heard the fastest way out of a maze is to always go to the left.  Just cling to the left wall and you'll get to the goal.

This is something I do in every game in which it could be applied.  So if I'm hit up with a cave, or a maze, or even an open world that I want to throughly explore I'll go to the left and work systematically around the wall.  It always works.  I find that almost always when given a binary choice in a game (like when you are in a cave and there is a fork) going to the left is actually the quickest path.

Is this commonly known?  Do other people know/ do this?

Are there any particular things like this that you do automatically that, perhaps upon reflection, may not be what everyone else does when they game?

Given a fork, I usually take the left.  I wouldn't suggesting hugging the wall will get you to the finish line the fastest, though.

My penis usually points slightly to the left when erect, so I tend to choose that direction.

Yes, I guess it would work just as well if you applied it to the right-wall in the same manner.  Since you are also a leftist, do you find, like I have, that that is usually the way the developers want you to go?  Or is that all in my mind?

So wacking off that much does have an impact...

Probably, although I should note that I use my right hand to masturbate, so I must be doing something wrong.

To the right for me, but I am left-handed.

Not true if its' a 2d platformer! Then it's always to the right. Nyaa

Hey, maybe that's why you're so terrible at platformers!

Edit:

I mean penis.

Heh. Probably.  Even in 2d games I always try going left at the start to see if there is anything there (like in DKC).

The fastest way out of a maze is to climb the wall and look around.

BTW do you guys remember that Dungeons and Dragons episode with the maze?
