It's the end of the game. The world has been saved, the enemies defeated, the puzzle solved, the mystery revealed, the race has been won, the redemption complete, the awards have been claimed and the girl is yours.
What do you do now?
For me, ever since I can remember playing video games I have always done one thing as soon as the game is over - I always watch the credits. Not just let them scroll through until the end but I sit and read the names (not out loud) and the various job titles. I listen to the music and enjoy the afterglow of having completed the game in its entirety.
My oldest son asked me once why I watched the credits and I explained to him that if the game was good enough for me to play until the end, the least I could do was 'thank" the many people involved with creating the amazing adventure by giving them their due and watch the credits. Over the years, I have been amazed just how many people - and countries - are involved in the numerous aspects of creating a video game. It's very impressive.
It's officially an end of game tradition for me.
I was wondering what are your end of game traditions?
(This is my first Geeklist! Yea! At least, I searched the Geeklists and couldn't find this topic. If there is one please merge and I will edit this post)

I only watched the credits to get the achievement.
 I feel dirty.

My tradition: pop another beer. With recent FPSs I'll just sit through the credits: one of the CoD WorldWar-2 shooters had nice credits with a soldier being parachuted and fighting his way from right to left for a long time, while the credits past.
And of course, you could only play the bonus level in CoD4:MW after sitting out the credits... So, I'll look at them nowadays. You never know.

Watching too many credits!
