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

[Gerazzi]

I yell at the screen, but that doesn't really count, does it?

 

[DerpyDerpyDerp]

I talk to myself all the time while playing video games. It just adds some more enjoyment for me and for other people watching me.

 

[The Shade]

I only talk to the game when someone else is playing, and I only do comedic commentary (a la Unskippable) for entertainment value.

 

[Larmo]

I'm usually not playing alone because me and my sister watch each other game, so were always commenting on each other. But when i am alone i tend to make sound effects to weapons if there isn't one or little comment and rimes/phrases for repeated events like when i pick up a grenade i hum to myself "everyone's got naids naids naids" (naids- Grenades) all my friends do this now.

 

[.Ricks.]

You are not alone, I talk to myself whenever I'm solving a difficult puzzle or fighting in a particularly engaging or hard fight.... often cursing either my enemy or my losses.

 

[Satin6T]

ONLY WHEN IM PISSED!

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

Of course. I am always yelling at the NPCs "GET OUT OF MY WAY" or "YOU'RE SO USELESS!" I'll even talk to enemies after they have killed me asking them why they did that and what I ever did to them.

Sometimes I'll talk to the NPCs in a game like inFamous. I'm playing the nice guy story right now and sometimes I accidentally hit a pedestrian (because if there are no enemies it kind of locks on to them) or step in a puddle with them, convienently electrocuting them to death. If this happens I usually say something along the lines of, "Ha ha, oops, sorry mister, are you oka - oh....you're dead aren't you...ya."

Electricity is lethal...

 

[CoverYourHead]

Yes.

I'm crazy.

 

[DragonsAteMyMarbles]

Most of the time, yeah. I'll also read out the dialogue if there isn't any voice acting.

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I thought I was the only one.
Currently supplying the voices for FFIX - Steiner has a horribly stereotypical German accent, Kuja is Welsh and Garland sounds like an extra from The Archers. Great fun.

I also respond to NPCs with my own reaction (Fallout 3, Oblivion, KOTOR etc) before I choose a response. Makes my brother laugh, if nothing else.

 

[UnearthedArcana]

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I thought I was the only one.

Sometimes I'll do a run with comedy accents (a baritone Garnet, for instance) for the surreal value. >,>

 

[NeutralDrow]

Absolutely. Whether I'm lamenting a character's action on-screen, snarking with or at something happening, or just incoherently whispering "Diediediediediediedie...!" I'm usually vocalizing something.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

I talk to the in-game characters quite often, not to myself so much.

"You idiot, you forgot to pick up the flower," and "Wrong character, fool," are to myself, but mostly it's: "Oh, come on. You're better at it than that," to my character, "Get a grip on yourself man. Step off the bench and drag your arse over here," to some NPC or ...



... to the respawning enemies.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Whenever i play Left 4 Dead singleplayer i have this strange compulsion to start talking to my A.I teamates. Am i the only one who talks to myself when you play games?

i not only talk, but i also scream.

ie. "LUIS! WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING LUIS?! STOP F***ING SHOOTING THE WALL LUIS!! GET THE F*** OVER HERE!"

yeah... that's about right.

this applies to other games as well.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

when i die i scream a lot too.
mirror's edge was fun. i was convinced faith was a suicidal *****. and screamed it at the top of my lungs whenever i fell...

i think i have anger issues.

 

[Andalusa]

Sometimes, only if it's somethig difficult I'm attempting or something I'm doing for the millionth time and Im getting annoyed at the game.

 

[nova18]

Whenever A.I is involved I always talk to them. Whether it be L4D or RE5, I always talk to them.

Im the same, only its usually shouting incoherently at them.
When I've had a drink or two however, I pay the A.I compliments, cause Im convinced that I can give them a morale boost and reduce their incompetence.

 

[Insert Comedy Here]

It's not crazy if they talk back to you right?

I answered yes, because I'm sure I do it. I can't remember doing it, but I must be doing it, otherwise I wouldn't have said I did do it, right?
I also read out the dialogue in soprano, I can imagine all the characters suddenly suffering from a complete and total lack of testicles.
Even the girls.
