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

[Agent-Sliper]

I talk a bunch, to my games.

My favorite sentence is "What the hell am I ment to do now, grrrrrr"

 

[Resistance205]

I talk to myself when I'm not playing video games and when I am!

 

[sneak_copter]

Yes, I do. I'm a normal person. Completely Normal.

What's that Clarice?

 

[Terror_666]

I talk to myself a lot probably more than is health.
I talk to the TV, My PC and many other inanimate objects.
Though when I say talk I do kind of mean Yell.

 

[jimduckie]

it seems that i do when in cod4 when ur so called team mates just run around like chickens with their heads cut off and or camp out and won't join the fight

 

[Gado911]

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.

I feel your pain. That game was a nightmare to finish!

 

[Grayjack]

Not just while gaming. I talk to myself all the time. My parents think I'm going crazy or something.

yessir.
but oh so gratifying when it was finally done.

 

[Kinguendo]

Yes.

I'm crazy.

Nothing crazier than a person who openly admits that they are(!) XD

 

[Bat Vader]

Strangely no, I talk to myself when I don't play videogames.

 

[Yegargeburble]

I talk to myself whether I am playing video games or not. That's just how I am.

As for anything odd, I end up telling the shopkeepers and such in the Godfather to "Give me their fucking money before I kill them." Then I have my character beat them nearly to death. It works out very well.

 

[Mutough]

Of course I do, but it's usually either the old "okay, need a key" or the usual "what a worthless character" things.

 

[Spleenbag]

All the time. It mainly takes the form of "No, you fucking thing! No! I'm pointing the stick there! Go THERE... shoot. SHOOT! SHOOT HIM DAMMIT! FUCK! GET UP YOU GODDAMN SERBIAN! WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SO SLOW?! Jesus. Finally you go in the car and FUCK! THAT FUCKER BLEW ME UP! SHIT! God DAMN I was looking all OVER for that car."

May or may not be mildly exaggerated. Generally is more low-key than this.

 

[PureBredGentleman]

I don't just talk to myself when gaming, I talk to myself ALL the time. Whats crazy is that it usually doesn't relate to the game I'm playing or whatever it is I'm doing, I actually have conversations with myself. Should I be concerned?

Talking to yourself and SINGING to yourself are TWO different things. On topic though I usually do the voices of the characters that don't speak in games when I'm bored. For instance, I downloaded a demo for Fight NIght Round 4, and since the main boxer looked like such an idiot, I MADE him an idiot. "Huh? Huh? You LIKE that? Hm? Do those punches TASTE good" (note: I was speaking as though I WAS the character, rather than speaking to him) And of course Half Life is fun for that as well. Just look at Freeman's Mind, thats the idea taken to the interwebs.

 

[purplegothchick]

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?

To be fair though, I scream at the AI on L4D cos they never help you up when you need it. As soon as they start to help you, they get distracted by passing gnats and just drop you again, so I think in this case it's perfectly acceptable to talk to oneself.

 

[scatman94]

Totally. I even "roleplay" in single player games... like saying "hey, sup?" to bystanders in Fallout 3 when I walk past them
Then I realise what I'm doing and I feel ridiculous.

Yeah hehe, I do that too.

 

[squid5580]

No I talk to my avatar, my enemies, NPC allies and the omnipresent A.I. (usually to call it a cheatin bastard). When I get really frustrated I will sometimes threaten my 360 with the firepit. Never to myself though. That would be wierd.
