Poll: Do you talk to yourself while gaming?

[Ailia]

Out of curiosity... how many people talk to themselves while playing video games? This also includes muttering, answering characters' speeches, or plain old swearing when something goes wrong.

I didn't know that I tended to mutter a lot during gameplay until my brother told me last night, but I was aware that I cursed when I got my ass handed to me or when the story flips me off.

 

[Pirakahunter788]

Definitely. I do pretty much all the above.

 

[Katana314]

I do it way too much.

"No....no, see that bullet WOULDN'T have hit me because I had alREADY rounded that corner and he was a f*%$ing mile AWAY..."

I'm the sort of person who's always complaining to himself about something that shouldn't have happened. Funny enough, like most people I do it less if I'm winning already.

 

[GundamSentinel]

All the time. Hell, if you recorded me and the game, you'd have an instant Let's Play.

 

[Popadoo]

Only to make terrible jokes to myself, then afterwards say 'No one? No? Tough crowd.'

I have a life, I just don't use it that much.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

NO. But I do swear all the time.

 

[F'Angus]

Ha, I talk to myself even when I'm gaming with other people

Yeah, I do that too, like when I feel like I'm doing something correctly but my avatar doesn't want to listen and then he dies and I'm like "YOU HAD IT COMING, YOU INSUBORDINATE PIECE OF F&#ZK >:O!"

 

[Novania]

All the time, and its always hilarious thus making me enjoy the game more

 

[vrbtny]

I usually congratulate myself on a good shot/epic sneak kill. And I like giving a evil cackle whenever I pwn a invisible guy in the Crysis 2 demo.

Oh who's clever now!! Invisible Space Ninjas?!

 

[Jark212]

On occasion, it's mostly just tag lines of anger like "Oh come on!!!" and "You got to be Sh*ting me!!!" or simply "Yes!!!"

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

My swearing during gameplay is the stuff of legend.

 

[MCDeltaT]

No, but my imaginary friend Winchester does.

 

[Azaradel]

Constantly.

I guess I just love the sound of my own voice...

 

[PureChaos]

sometimes, tend to be odd phrases like 'what the hell' or 'oh you bastard'

 

[AlexJ412]

I can get really angry at myself during gaming, i swear soooo much.

plus i like to discuss what i'm going to do out loud

i'm not crazy...

 

[teisjm]

No, i occationally curse at the screen. and at the peopel doing retarded stuff, whether they're AI or online opponents/teammates

 

[Scabadus]

It's less 'talking' and more 'a steady stream of cursing that only pauses to switch between angry insults and gloating insults depending on whether I'm loosing or winning,' but yes I do do it while gaming. Only when I don't have a mic plugged in though; I do at least attempt to be nice when playing with humans rather than NPCs.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Sometimes, usually depends on the game, my mood and if I'm alone. But I swear under my breath a lot.

 

[Truly-A-Lie]

I do believe the last thing I said while gaming was about half an hour ago, when I said -
"Well I'm obviously not going to be playing this, am I?! Because it's not even possible, that's why! How the fuck am I meant to do that with just a shotgun?! If I could Bullet Kick it wouldn't be a problem..."
Or something to that effect, when I was having a quick go on Resistance 2. It was a quick go indeed, as I turned it off straight after.
