Poll: Do you talk to yourself when you play games?

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Well, I was playing ME3 just before (yes, faq da h8tors et cetera) and I was doing commentary of me killing Maruaders by meleeing them in the arse and then I realised I was singing about it. Then I realised I do it all the time.

So Escapists, do you talk to yourself when gaming?

(No, this does not include multiplayer when you're shouting into a microphone calling other people faggots)

 

[Qitz]

Myself? No, I'm usually yelling at the cheap ass computer opponent or at the dumbass AI.

Pretty much this. I don't talk to myself, but I do get pissed off from time to time, when I'm outsmarted by a bunch of 1's and 0's(yes yes, Yahtzee quote, but it fits here).

How did the song go?

OT: i talk to myself all the time , what i said depends on the game . Example of what i say:

If i am playing a fps : " aim for the head... BOOM HEADSHOT MOTHER FUCKER"
If i am playing a rpg : " man this cut-scene is long"
If i am playing a racing game : watch for the curb * crash * I TOLD YOU TO WATCH FOR IT!
If i am playing UMVC3 : FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK... DAMIT, SON OF A *****!

edit: regarding your poll ,It should say " no i'm not crazy * throws xbox at wall*"

I cant remember it but it rhymed and was surprisingly good.

 

[gazumped]

Only when I'm frustrated and am swearing like a crazy woman at the screen, I think I inherited it off of my mum who does it too. It really annoys me when she does it so I feel really bad when I catch myself doing it in company, but I can't really make it stop! ;_;

 

[Fappy]

I talk to myself occasionally, but usually my commentary is directed at the AI.

"FUCK YOU GODDAMN PIECE OF SHIT! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!? STRAIGHT UP CHEATING NOW? REALLY?!"

And when I finally achieve victory it usually ends with me thrusting my hips in the direction of the tv. I am classy.

 

[Zhukov]

Yes, but usually internally.

If I get annoyed I'll angrily mutter about the developers.

Same, I mainly vent my frustration at the AI. Infact, i'm currently playing ME3 and got insta-killed by them banshees melee attacks and called it cheating. Almost threw my controller at the screen.

 

[Popadoo]

I THINK to myself, does that count?
I imagine I'm doing a Let's Play, and just stand around doing nothing while I explain a mechanic or something in my mind. If people are watching they ask me why I'm not doing anything, but in reality I'm describing the plot up to this point in the game to myself.
Wut.

But... they DO cheat! I've had a banshee teleport throw TWO buildings in one port and initiate its auto-kill from 15-20 feet away. She used Scorpion's harpoon to reel me in... AKA server lag >.>

 

[Bongrips]

Well, it's not so much talking as it is curmudgeonly grumbling. But yeah, I guess that counts.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Specific things online in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 i'll start talking to myself about.

"Mate what are you doing pressing buttons underneath Vergil? Swag dive! ^^" or "yeah you won with a Dark Wesker. You're obviously soooo good at this game..."

I tend to rage talk in fighting games and DMC type games... Y'know where bosses are always hard as shit.

Oh and I find myself being a massive twat to all my enemies when i'm doing well in League of Legends. I hardly ever do well in LoL, as in one kill per game if i'm lucky so it's kinda justified.

I'm ok at not dying (most of the time) but I wouldn't call myself credit to team at all.

 

[TehCookie]

I rarely talk to myself, I talk to the character instead. Unless I'm role-playing where I'll narrate the characters thoughts. Most of my angry yelling is coach like yelling where I'm narrating what the character should do, "RUN TUBBY, JUMP YOU ****** NO NOT THERE ON THE LEDGE DUMBASS!" or calling the computer a cheater.

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

I yell at my teammates.

"YOU SUCK AT SNIPING! YOU'VE BEEN SITTING ON THIS HILL SHOOTING AT PEOPLE FOR 10 MINUTES AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN A SINGLE KILL! YOU'RE FUCKING USELESS!"

And then I usually try and team-kill them because' I'm doing the world a favor.

Same here.....except for the air-humping victory dance. >.> I normally just either flip off my TV like "YEAH! TAKE THAT YOU SONS'A BITCHES!!!" that or I throw up The Shocker sign and say "Give'em one of THEEEEEEEESE!"

But the most used curse phrase for me: "GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!!!"

Ohhhh them god damn cheating banshees. Let's not forget how they like to just straight up ignore the laws of physics and CLIPPING by throwing the reave ball THROUGH SOLID WALLS!!!

This tends to happen on Glacier and Dagger, particularly. On Dagger it's when they'd coming down the hallway to the right of the circle room that everyone camps. If you try to run out the back door onto that platform, they'll throw their balls through the walls to hit you in the face.

And yeah, I've seen them do the straight-up room warp...charging through the wall of one room to just appear in the next is just ridiculously unfair.

As for your OP, yeah, I talk to myself in ways beyond cursing in frustration and shouting in celebration. Like when I'm doing my rounds of conversations in ME3, I'll be walking towards the gun battery and say "Garrus, what the hell are you up to? Still doing them calibrations? Super." But that goes for all RPGs, I find myself talking "to" the other characters.

 

[TheAIOverlord]

I only talk you myself while playing games if my friends are watching me play.
