if screeming at the tv counts after dying countless times, then yes

If something repetitive or frustrating happens, I have a tendency do either "respond" (STFU, MOIRA!!!) or yell at the screen, respectively.

Oh I talk to myself in more than games. Like right now I'm talking to myself what my response would be to a possible response I might get on another comment.......what?
I use to talk to myself when i am with friends... mostly monologues in english(wait wha?)
When i play games i use to yell insults at the ones i play against. Mostly in online games.
I just swear at meself and keep playing. Unless someone gets cheap (like camping), I hardly rage quit.

*with snotty attitude*

Like, no, I don't talk to myself when playing. I'm talking to the game. Duh.

It is mostly profanitys. Try not to press the mic button if its just going to be a string of "rarrgh"s, seeings as it would only be my team that could hear it and they'd just laugh at me anyway :p

Im glad the person im really shouting at can't hear me though, it would only give them alittle bit more satisfaction at fragging me.

Single player I try and convice myself im talking to someone to feel less pathetic when I blurt out at A.I.

I swear frequently. I also berate myself when something goes wrong that I could have avoided, often quite loudly. Finally, I've been known to jump around with joy whenever I've finished a particularly challenging game.

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?
You and me both. Yelling at Bill is becoming a regular event for me.

Strangely, I only talk to myself when I'm playing with or in front of other people. It entertains. I guess that might be counted as just commenting tho...

I don't talk to myself, but I sometimes talk to the computer. Often to curse at it or taunt it.

Yeah, sometimes. If I'm playing L4D I'll rage at the AI, because they're so FUCKING STUPID THA-

Sorry. Depends on the game, I'll have a decent rage if I keep screwing something up, and I'll rage even harder if the game is being a cheap bastard.

Once, while Playing Gears 2, I found myself shouting at Dom:

"Take cover, you suicidal f**kwit!"

And once, in L4D:

"Save me, you bastards!" (it was my first time playing, and I wasn't aware that it was a very bad idea to shoot the witch in the back of the head point-blank with an autoshottie.)

And with frightening frequency, in Overlord:

"Kill for me, my hellspawned monstrosities!" *cackling*

i talk to characters when the controls aren't doing what i want them to do, other than that, i swear at my teammates even when i don't have a mic.

also, when walking around alone, i tend to think about previous conversations that i have screwed up and begin muttering to myself what i should have said, anyone else? or am I just insane?

I talk to myself on a more or less constant basis whenever there's nobody else within earshot. I also talk to stuffed animals, shout at inanimate objects and/or NPCs, and just generally behave like a mental patient when alone. I actually like it that way, but not too much [http://guides.ign.com/guides/564180/page_8.html] lest the Social Bunny show up.

anything I play...ANYTHING, I'll usually find myself yelling at the main character, a boss, an NPC who is proving to be insanely unhelpful, or just at myself for having spazztic hands depending on what I'm playing.

I also enjoy yelling at the camera...because bad camera angles are like the bane of my existence

I'll also read out the dialogue if there isn't any voice acting.
Oh, phew, thank goodness I'm not the only one who does this.

And yes, sometimes I'll talk to myself when I'm gaming, particularly if I'm struggling at a section.
...See...I do this too, but in the sense of, if I'm REALLY bored and there's no voice acting, I'll voice act myself and give everyone a different voice if I can...Citan Uzuki has a British accent...SHHHHH.
