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

[Astoria]

I don't really talk to myself but I do talk to other characters in the game as if I was the person I'm controlling. I often end up making the character very sarcastic and stuck up. My dark elf in Skyrim for instance loves paying out guards when they get scared of dragons and rubs it in everyone's face that she's the dragonborn.

I do it all the time when playing "The Old Republic." Allow me to share some samples from my recent session.
*fighting a boss and I've almost killed him* 'Come on, come on, co-OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!! HE HAD 100 HEALTH LEFT!!!!!

*sneaking through "The Works" on Courasant, trying to avoid encounters* "don't see me, don't see me. Shit they saw me! SHIT all those guys saw me too!! WTF!!!

 

[SycoMantis91]

No, but I talk to other characters all the time. I was doing the same all day with the same game (finally beat it tonight, only got it a few days ago though). Pretty much responding as dickishly as I can because i know Shepard isn't going to do it himself.

 

[HHammond]

Yeah I do fairly regularly. I like to add my own little replies to bits of the cutscene, like a note of fondness to Tali or a badass quip to Garrus. Then there's other times where I like to add my own little cheesy one liners at bad guys or quote movies. For example, whilst playing Resident Evil 5, when trying to get a boss to open it's jaws and expose it's weak spot I would say "smile you son of a *****!" before shooting of my killing shot!... And this would happen several times until it was actually the killing shot.

I do all the time, my sister says me playing Minecraft is hilarious. I sing songs to Skeletons about how I'm going to kill them, I sing sexy songs to sheep about how I'm gonna get them naked and every now and then she hears an AAARRRGH, AN EXPLODING DICK MONSTER FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Also when I was playing Morrowind I'd narrate. "The mighty Nerevarine charges into the room, slaying all of his opponents. He then realizes that he took some damage in the fighting so the mighty Nerevarine then proceeds to daringly take a nap in the enemy stronghold."

 

[loudmadman]

Why yes I do talk to myself when I play my games, and by God I'll keep doing it, be it a slight mutter or a booming voice of frustration

 

[TorqueConverter]

NO, it's weird.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

When I play games? I talk to myself all the time, you should hear me when I cook or watch tv ...

 

[Tonz of Fun]

Why in fact I do. An annoying amount of talking actually. People have asked be if I was doing a recording or if I was on the phone but no, just me and my games.

 

[Gentleman Adventurer]

I do when I play Total War games. I may have shouted "OBEY ME!" when the unit AI starts to go crazy and stop going were I click. Also "HOLD, YOU COWARDS! HOLD!" when their morale starts to break.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

i talk to myself all the damn time, so talking while i game is pretty much a given.

hell, sometimes i even talk to myself about me being somewhat crazy because i talk to myself so much.

 

[Zeema]

i mostly just get mad at my teammates so i say something out loud to myself. i swear anytime i play FPS online my team is full my newborn infants and the other team is professional cod clans

 

[Puddleknock]

I never shut up when I'm playing games. I talk to myself in first person, I talk to myself in third person (which is mental), I'll talk to the protagonist, I'll talk as the protagonist, I'll talk to the other characters and I even been known to hum along with the music (Halo's theme anyone).

Things tend to get rather noisy when I'm playing, unless I'm playing local multiplayer, then I shut up and don't make a sound.

 

[Creator002]

Sometimes. Usually it's me yelling at the "You Died" screen on Dark Souls, but other times I just talk with myself about the various things in the game world.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Yes, I talk to myself to make up for the lack of conversation in my day to day life.
And not just when I play games. Sometimes, I get stuck on sentences, and repeat them a few times until I can get past the bug.
But in games, it is usually to complain about the stupidity of offline characters doing things wrong.
Oh, hey, let's walk into an obvious trap, sounds like fun.
Stupid dumb-bot.

 

[arnoldthebird]

It adds to the immersion, my friends give me the weirdest looks. I'll always be talking to myself as I play, but I talk most in RTS sessions

 

[flames09]

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

haha same here, so much swearing, cursing and extreme anger! The devs of multipule games woudl fear my wrath after I get stuck on a level shouting and swearing my way through!

 

[Crazy Zaul]

I shout silently when I get annoyed at games, or sometimes my frustration goes beyond words and I just growl at it.

 

[Racecarlock]

Yep. All the time. Just an hour ago, I was giggling to myself in glee while playing Aces of the Galaxy. Star Fox on Xbox. Hell yeah.

 

[MetalMagpie]

I talk to the character I'm controlling a fair amount.

"Come on, E'lara. Stop rolling in front of that wall and hide behind it!"

"Sorry, Dom. That was my bad."
(I'm pretty terrible at Gears of War, so I apologise to Dom a lot!)

"Nice and quietly Adam. We don't want to... CRAP CRAP CRAP!"

etc.
