Could you turn the subtitles on, please?

[Tanis]

Yeah, but that's because I tend to play games without the sound.

I play most games while also watching a show or listening to music.

So, I have been on a video game binge of sorts. While playing I noticed something. I turned on subtitles while playing Call of Duty: Black Ops for the fiftieth time. For anyone that doesn't see what is wrong here: I turned subtitles on while playing a game that is only played for military hardware and explosions. After sitting at the main screen, in which Alex Mason is strapped to an electric chair, for a few seconds I started looking back. I had an epiphany: I play every game with subtitles, and my hearing is good.

Does anyone else do this?
Thoughts on why I do this?

Yeah, I do it too. Movies as well.

I like to read more than I like to watch things, and people tend to talk slower than I can process text, so therefore... subtitles!

I have them on all the time due to sometimes not being able to have the sound on loud, or simply because some voice actors mumble and I miss something important.

Games that don't have them annoy the crap out of me. Especially God of War. No subtitles in that game yet they feel the need to make the actors talk quietly, and the music blast out loud.

However, I cannot stand subtitles during a movie, they distract me from the explosive goodness!
