Poll: Do You Shout At Your TV/Monitor?

[Skorpyo]

I do it a lot, but only when I'm alone.

Ya'know, for teh lulz.

 

[no oneder]

Hmmm... yes, but only when I'm alone. Kinda childish.

 

[PureChaos]

quite a bit, yes. yelled at the microwave to hurry up and yelled things like 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' in certain films/programmes

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I frequently do. Sometimes I pull an Unskippable during cutscenes.

 

[Chronarch]

I never get mad when I play video games with my friends nor when I"m playing online, but when I'm alone on a single player I can get pretty ticked off. It generally only happens when the game is being cheap. An example would be in Mario Kart Wii since on the higher racing difficulties the NPCs like to make comebacks that are literally impossible for most normal people.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

No, I do at my keyboard or controller.

"I SAID LEFT CLICK, YOU PIECE OF SHIT! LEFT CLICK MEANS LEFT CLICK!" *beats on left mouse button*

I often shout at my TV when I watch football, or when I play FIFA on my Xbox. I do it occasionally in games, mostly if I keep dying. I avoid it when using a mic online, but do it a lot when playing splitscren with friends.

 

[EllEzDee]

If i die in an annoying way in a game, it'll always be "fucking CUUUNT" but that's about it. I'll have to give shouting at the microwave a try sometime though.

 

[Arkvoodle]

Monitor, no. Controller, sometimes.

My mic/soundcard recently stopped working for reasons unknown.

Nothing is more frustraiting when you're use to being on comms and you can't yell at people that someone is walking up behind them with a knife in Bad Company 2...

Or in LoL to tell people to push/fallback etc. No time to type as I need my hands for surviving myself/killing things!

TV I'll often talk back at adverts. Such as how there isn't such a thing as "wireless" internet, or how the go compare guy can go die in a puddle of his own vomit after eating a waffer thin mint.

 

[OutcastBOS]

Sometimes, especially when I get killed in a cheap way or if an enemy is being a pain in the ass to kill.

 

[BENZOOKA]

"No, you people are weird."

I'm an adult, you see.

 

[HotPinkCrayola]

I have friends that refuse to play multiplayer with me because I have a bad habit of screaming and swearing when the damned character won't stop walking into walls / looking at the floor / generally not being good (bad workman blames tools etc etc lol). I'm less vocal during single player modes though so at least I'm not too crazy (except when affore mentioned looking at floor happens, because for some reason I have an inate inability to look with one thumb stick and run with the other in FPS).

In a completely girly side note, I have also been known to scream profanaties at my sewing machine too. But I won't tell you that because it makes me look like a 50s housewife...

 

[thylasos]

I shout at the laptop for working incredibly slowly, but it's about four years old, so I don't expect a great deal from it, to be honest.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Yes, all the time. I even yell at my microwave telling it to go faster.

This I love.

 

[manaman]

If you are talking about the exasperated "Oh come on" type remark, then yeah I make them occasionally, but it's not like I am directing the remark to my monitor.

Now other cars. I shout at other cars all the damn time, and those bastards better get out of my way before I explode in road rage and run them all over in my truck.
