Overture
At any time during play did you...
...call Phillip an idiot for a) going to Greenland in the first place, b) wandering the wilderness with no shelter but that convenient mineshaft, or c) not bailing as soon as things started to get weird?
A.) No, who wouldn't be curious about their father like that?
B.)Yeah, you could have hired a guide or something!
C.)I'm not sure what you mean. "Weird" like "dangerous mutant-doggies" or "hearing harmless whispering noise?"
... cuss out the auto save when it saved at the worst possible moment?
[b]Not really, it was never inconvenient
... have to go back to an earlier save because you forgot something important?
Nope
... shout out loud for Red to shut up whenever he started yammering on at the wrong time?
No, but I did get a little annoyed
... go from being annoyed by Red’s jaw flapping to welcoming it because it was the only friendly thing in the whole area?
Good god, yes.
... get stuck on a puzzle, consult an internet walkthrough, and then feel like an idiot because the answer was so damned obvious?
Nope. No walkthroughs for me!
... wish you hadn’t turned the generator on?
Sometimes. The light brought reassurance, but left me feeling vulnerable as well
... wonder if the dogs regained their health whenever they ran off screen because the one you were trying to kill just wouldn’t die?
No, I was more concerned about him bringing a friend back with him!
... crouch on top of a crate or barrel with pickaxe in hand and get weird looks from family/friends/roommates as you called “Here puppy, puppy, puppy...”?
Nein
... say out loud “Hey mutt, I’m right here!” to a dog that you were hoping to kill as it walked right past you without even seeing you?
I was probably thanking God at those moments
... got weird looks (and the occasional concerned sounding “Are you alright?”) from friends/family/roommates when you fell off the barrel or crate and were shouting and cussing at Phillip because he just wouldn’t jump back up there?
Nope, family left me alone.
... wonder after running from a giant worm “What the hell am I doing here?”?
Er, no. It made me just that much more curious to know what was happening.
... feel physically ill and try to stop the incinerator?
Only a slight twinge in the gut (on top of a horrible feeling). I did try shutting it off, though.
... feel sorry for Red when you learn just how long he had been down there?
I felt bad for him way before then!
... feel even more sorry for Red once you learned that he had been a child when he was stranded down there?
Of course!
... get steamed at least a half dozen times in the Refinery?
Damn near enough to that amount
... try to flee from a dog and end up running right smack into it instead?
No, but I did run several times into another dog (that had been called over)
...accidentally set yourself on fire during the spider chase?
Yes. 
(If you played Amnesia: The Dark Descent first...)
... walk into the Refinery and think: “This isn’t the Refinery.”?
Nope, played Penumbra first
... deliberately blow yourself up with the explosive just for laughs?
I think it was on my second play-through, and I was feeling silly
... jump down in those large crevices towards the end just for kicks?
No.
Black Plague
... wonder who's nightmare inspired that weird ass dream sequence thing?
Not really
... chuckle the first time you saw an Infected?
NO. I was too busy not getting my head bashed in.
... find the voice of the Infected humorous?
No, I thought the voice was okay
... laugh hysterically when you died during a tense moment?
Nope
... think sarcastically that the Archaic sounded like a great company to work for?
Oh yeah. It's worse than Black Mesa!
... grin like a maniac even as you were trying to stay alive because you were having such a good time?
Nope, there was very little smiling on my part
... chuckle at some of the things that Clarence said, even as you imagined yourself wrapping your fingers around his throat and squeezing?
Yeah, the sick fuck.
... let out a screech/shriek/scream when the body damn near fell on your head while climbing the scaffolding?
No, but it did increase my blood pressure.
... freeze to death while wandering around outside?
Nope
... at any point, say something to the effect of: "Oh you've got to be kidding me!" upon seeing what diabolical hoops you were going to have to jump through to get what you needed?
Oh god, yes. The cycling lights in the Kennel were disheartening
... after jumping through said hoops have to take a minute to let your hands stop shaking?
No
... spend a few minutes just staring in mute horror at Amabel?
Yes. SHE made me feel physically ill
... give Clarence multiple death threats? Bonus points if you said them out loud.
I gave 'em, but not aloud
(If you plays The Sims, Minecraft, or any other game that allows you to build stuff from the ground up)
... start thinking of what you would need to do to build the Shelter in your chosen game?
Not really
Requiem
... accidentally crush yourself under the giant block crusher?
I almost did, but I was smart enough to keep walking. I did do it intentionally though, later. 
... accidentally fall in the water during the Sewer level and felt surprised that you could swim?
Nope. Black Plague already taught me you could swim.
... wonder who among the gang at Frictional is the Donkey Kong fan?
Nope
... have the physics go completely wonky at random moments, which caused all sorts of weird stuff to happen?
That happened occasionally with all of them
... eagerly wait for the PA system to start up again, just so you could hear what kind of weird things it was going to spout off?
A little bit.
(If you played Amnesia: The Dark Descent)
... think that Alexander was talking to you at a certain point?
No, but I did recently find out Eminiss and Alexander are voiced by the same person. So I can see how that could have happened.
... have to remind yourself on multiple occasions (if you already knew ahead of time) that there were no monsters in the game?
I find myself hoping there WOULD be monsters
... when it was all said and done, sit back and ponder how it felt like a lifetime ago that you started it all back in Overture?
Definitely. What a slog!
