Obsessive Compulsive Reloading Disorder
Common to many gamers,
OCRD is the obsessive compulsive
reloading of weapons in
FPSs in order to maintain a
full clip at any given time.Generally this presents as reloading before and after every encounter in a game even if only 1 or 2 shots were fired and the clip has 60 rounds. A gamer with the disorder will experience the distracting need to reload if they know their clip isn't full, similar to an itch or a nervous tic of other OCDs.In its worse presentations, OCRD will leave a player absent-mindedly reloading before the action has finished, perhaps after killing one or a few enemies while more are still shooting at the player. This leaves the player useless and vulnerable for upwards of
5 to 10 seconds.
