Do you talk to the games you are playing as if you were in them?

[SantoUno]

I am playing Fallout 3 at the moment and I keep talking to the game as if I was talking to the characters in the game itself. Must be pretty immersive which is good for a game isn't it?

I don't usually do that but for a game like this I feel no shame in doing so.

Does anyone else do the same? Or are the certain conditions that must be satisfied before you'll talk?

 

[viranimus]

No, but I talk to the game, and usually end up cursing it and its silicate whore of a mother.

 

[The Amazing Tea Alligator]

I talk to myself all the time, and regularly hold interviews with imaginary characters. Why should playing a game be different?

 

[Marter]

Yes. "Go this. Do this". Yep, I do that a lot.

 

[Furious Styles]

I talk to myself generally.. a lot. I'm not crazy or anything, its just a habit.

 

[The Procrastinated End]

I talk to myself constantly, playing games does not stop that.

 

[Elfangorax]

No, but I talk to the game, and usually end up cursing it and its silicate whore of a mother.

Right there with ya.

 

[SantoUno]

I talk to myself all the time, whatever activity I'm doing at the time has no impact on my voicing my opinion to myself.

That's not exactly what I meant but ok. I edited the title to make it more clearly. What I actually meant was if you talk to the game itself.

Yes, but i do it for pretty much every game, i must get immersed into things pretty easily... in some games I immitate characters.

Final fantasy X: (immitating Tidus) wow.. so even though you're this bad Kimahri, all the other ronso are worse!?

Ape Escape: haha, i've got you now silly Monkey, prepare to be... what the! WHERE WERE YOU HIDING THAT MACHINE GUN! GAAAARRRGHHH!!!

Harvest moon: lalalalaaa, feed the cow, stroke the cow, milk the cow... wow.. this games really boring (5 hours later) milk the cow... why the hell am i still playing this game!?!

Metal Gear Solid: (Game character) Sir, i've located the intruder and need back up
(me) NO YOU DON'T! YOU'LL BE FINE BY YOURSELF, PLEASE STOP!!! RAIDEN, HIT HIM YOU PANSY! what the hell does Rose see in you anyway? why go out with a guy who's prettier and wears more make up then you?

the list could go on, but i don't think there is a need to, as half the time i'm only doing it to amuse myself so that i won't get angry when i start losing... obviously you guys wouldn't be entertained by it.
and yes, i am that bad at Metal Gear Solid before i get a silencer for my pistol/tranquilizer.

I don't really talk to myself but sometimes I yell at the other players, when I'm playing css or bad company 2 even though they can't hear me.

 

[Argtee]

Sometimes.

I usually forget what I'm in games like Fallout 3 or Morrowind.
When that happens, I always ask myself what I'm doing and check what quests I have.

I've had my Mom ask me what I was doing when I was wondering if I should sell or keep Daedric Greaves in Morrowind.
She probably thought I was crazy...

 

[laol1999]

if its a first person game ill say something like "and then you go to ..."

 

[thetrue13th]

Yes, but seeing as the alternative is sitting on the couch in complete silence as my speakers try to self destruct, I think it's the less crazy option. Also it is a pretty good vent for exasperating situations, like when you get caught or die unexpectedly. It's not good to bottle up that level of stress, guys.

 

[powergamer8]

I find that if i have the time to get absorbed in the game I will do this involuntary.

 

[Skoldpadda]

Worse, I talk to real life as if I was in it.

 

[Harlemura]

I talk to the enemies a lot. Usually when they're winning.

"Hey, what ya doin'? Punching me a whole lot and, oh, thanks a lot, now I'm on the floor. Oi, why you all jumping on me? Ooo, now you done it..."
-Me, recent ramble when failing at the new Scott Pilgrim game.
