Poll: Do you use a mic while gaming?

[Discord]

I do, but I found making any noise, cough or sneeze leaves me open for insult and scorn. I would say the mute button and simply not using the damn thing would be the best course of action but If I did that I would of missed out on the rare times I meet some cool and interesting people online, woman and men.

I do for RE5 and L4D2 type online games. Otherwise, nope.

Of course, I need an easy way to communicate on Xbox Live.

With my friends and never any other time. Ever.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

I tend to only use it when i'm playing with friends.

 

[Something Amyss]

When playing with friends, yes.

When playing with randoms? No.

On TF2 it's pretty much necessary, but yeah, I shut it off in public servers...no one is listening. Spiral Knights has a lot of "open mic", and you don't know if you've been muted, so I learned to run tactics without speech after a few tries.

On Team Fortress 2, yes. The people are usually nice, and it can be helpful to tell the medic to uber now, or warn someone of a spy.
