Poll: Do you talk to yourself while gaming?

[Nomanslander]

If the game is pissing me off, you'll hear some words coming out of me about it not directed at anyone, although I should say stuff that would make an old salty-dog sailor blush.

XD

 

[dakorok]

Generally, it's mostly going through strategy and the like, though I will get rather vocal when a game throws bullshit at me.

 

[GreyKnight3445]

if by talking you mean swearing profanities every time I hit a car and go flying off my motorcycle in GTA then yes.

 

[jailbreaker]

Not a lot, but ALL THE TIME while playing Morrowind. Actually, I talk to other people while playing it. Whether they like it or not.

 

[Broken Boy]

I do it way too much.

"No....no, see that bullet WOULDN'T have hit me because I had alREADY rounded that corner and he was a f*%$ing mile AWAY..."

I'm the sort of person who's always complaining to himself about something that shouldn't have happened. Funny enough, like most people I do it less if I'm winning already.

Yeah, I do that too, like when I feel like I'm doing something correctly but my avatar doesn't want to listen and then he dies and I'm like "YOU HAD IT COMING, YOU INSUBORDINATE PIECE OF F&#ZK >:O!"

Mostly this as for the rest of the time I'm not playing Black Op's. I just berate myself for making stupid little mistakes.

 

[DSK-]

Yes, sometimes. I retort to what characters say in game or just insult them...not that they can hear me for obvious reasons >_>

 

[Zergadooful]

Always! I play games for fun, and nothing is more fun than spouting one-liners after killing everyone inside a bar in one dead-eye burst.

 

[marurder]

Plays some fun shooter
+
Gets shotgun
proceeds to use it at point blank

"fuck you" *BLAM*, "fuck you" *BLAM*

repeat until level is clear.

There is a lot more variety in what I say, but that's the most enjoyable.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

I don't talk, but I do tend to hum tunes while playing. Sometimes I hum along with the game's music if I like, mostly it's a completely unrelated tune.

 

[dex-dex]

I talk to myself while gaming.

yeah I gotta stop doing that.

 

[TheBoulder]

I don't talk to myself when I game, I just swear.

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I like to practice my english accent by saying 'buggah' and 'bloody hell' whenever I die.

 

[King of Wei]

All the damn time. Reading dialogue options out load, taunting the enemy AI when I'm dominating a game, criticizing poor NPC life choices, or saying what I really would say if I were in the protagonist's position.

Something I really get a kick out of is when I respond to an NPC comment, then either that NPC or one close by says something that would be a logical response to my statement. This happened with nearly every conversation in half-life 2, which is part why I love it so much.

 

[Lazruth]

A whole lot, yeah. Especially when I play online because it's one of the few ways I can have an intelligent conversation while playing Black Ops.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Not

This also includes muttering, answering characters' speeches, or plain old swearing when something goes wrong.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Hell, In Zelda: Twilight Princess, I basically spoke out loud for Link.

And I'm not (too) ashamed of that!

 

[Vault101]

If somthing realy shocking happens I might let out a giggle or an "aw fuck!" but not really hell Im even to shy to use voice chat online

 

[FightThePower]

All the time. I rage quite a lot, so a lot of it is shouting to myself. Usually when I have a mini-seizure and become completely incapable of performing the most basic tasks. I do not tolerate failure.

 

[blankedboy]

In my head occasionally, never out loud. That's just weird.

 

[Klopy]

I rarely talk to myself. I tried it once, but it felt weird.

I do, however, talk to myself in my head during a game, if that makes any sense. Its just sorta 'Haha that guy's stuck in a wall, that breaks immersion' sorta stuff, though.

 

[theguiltyone]

The only time is when something horrible happens, like dying on a super hard boss, and then it's just a bunch of cussing. But that counts, right?
