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

[Canadamus Prime]

You mean there are people who don't? 0_o

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

I do when my mind is focussed... I talk myself through processes, like if I am taking a careful sniper shot I recite the marksmanship priciples under my breath, or when driving in a racing sim I will mutter countdowns to the corners as I go...

Again, it only happenes if I am doing something that requires particular focus...

Happens with other things too... when I am concentrating.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I talk to myself all the time. Then again I am kind of demented, but when gaming anything I say will more often than not entail gratuitous and creative use of the words 'fuck', 'shit' and '****'.

 

[Viridian]

When I play Dark Souls, sometimes there's, "SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITOHGODNO".

And then I lay down on the floor and think about my life for the next 3 minutes.

 

[DesertMummy]

Sometimes, when I'm playing a new game that I'm super hyped about, I'll say a senatance or two, but it wears out after the first day usually. And, of course, you can't forget raging.

 

[bossfight1]

Yeah I do yeah he does SHUT UP I'M TALKING you always do the forum chatting BOO HOO.

 

[The_Waspman]

Can't deny that I do. I wont shout and scream or anything, but I will usually get snarky with some characters, especially enemies who proclaim I'm about to die. So yeah.

The only time I'm liable to swear is if I get snuck up on. In ME3 multiplayer for example, I turn around and there's a banshee behind me, I will simply go 'oh fuck!' before high tailing it the fuck out of there.

Probably a god job I don't have a mic then...

 

[ThePenguinKnight]

Not out loud, but I do mentally.

 

[deserteagleeye]

I couldn't help but yell at my TV when playing Eternal Sonata. Mostly because of the awkward and annoying cutscenes. I found out the plot of the whole story as soon as they said the word "mineral powder" and yet they go on and on explaining things that everyone with a brain found out 10 years ago.
Me:
To be fair I still don't know why certain things were happening toward the end but I didn't care as soon as it was over.
Just an example of games that make be say stuff to it.

 

[Whoatemysupper]

Oddly, only when other people are around. Maybe it's because I want them to know what I think of the current situation. I don't address myself or have full-on conversations back and forth though, it's more talking to the game as I'm sure most people on this tread do.

 

[Zen Toombs]

"SIT DOWN!"
"Why don't you die already?"
"Eat FIRE!"/"Have some fire!"
"I said SIT DOWN!"
"wait, what?"
"that.... was.... AWESOME!"

I guess I say a little bit.

 

[Gaiseric]

No. The only time I enjoy someone taking while playing a game is when I'm watching an LP.

My brothers do though. Unfortunately it mostly involves things like, "That's f**kin' stupid!" or "AAHHHHHHH!!!" when something doesn't go there way. And it isn't entertaining.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Yes but I talk to myself constantly so it isn't that weird for me to talk to myself while gaming.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Me? I simply talk to myself all the time. It's rare for me to go longer than a few minutes without muttering to myself at the very least.

 

[uhddh]

I usually make off-hand comments about the characters and reply to their comments. If I do a second play through I basically break it down like unskippable would.

 

[Don Savik]

I like the idea that talking to yourself automatically means you're crazy.

Such a silly and archaic viewpoint. And these people that think you're crazy usually have no imagination of their own anyways, so maybe its a deep-seated jealousy.

 

[Eddie the head]

I talk to my self all the time.

 

[Vault101]

I do occasionally spout a "MOTHER FUCKER!" if somthing startles me

there was a part in ME3 when I actually said outloud "what the fuck are you DOING shepard?!"

[spoiler/] where trainor comes up to her cabin and shepards like "hey...wanna use the shower" and the whole thing feels like a set-up for a porno..and shepard just sitting there oblivios to the implication of letting trainor use her shower...[/spoiler]

 

[zehydra]

I used to when I played Morrowind back in the day

 

[StormShaun]

I did and still do, it makes me feel like the character...

or some poor bloke that got sent to said video game world.
Also I scream many things at the screen too.

and I have the small habit of talking to myself.
