Poll: Do you talk to yourself while gaming?

[Daverson]

Yes. But to be fair, I talk to myself a lot. Man, I said "hell yes I do" to myself as I voted in the poll.

Of course, this is probably because I'm the only person I know capable of making decent conversation... real people need to be more like internet people, you're all so awesome! =D

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

I do quite a bit. It makes for some awkward moments when parents or siblings walk in the room, like what happened when I realized that I was talking pretty loud to myself during the Mass Effect 2 finale...

 

[Ultress]

Anything from cursing when I lose ,to trash talking bosses I beat, to making a running commentary.


Also I like telling Chie(Persona 4) to shut up.I like her but it's really fun to do.

I didn't start talking to the screen until my husband and I started playing games side by side (playing the same game together or playing totally different games. We have two televisions on the same wall in our living room for this purpose).

Now, we talk out loud all of the time, to each other, to our own game, and even to each other's game screens when we glance over. It's a pretty constant chatter actually and extremely entertaining.

Now that I think of it though... It makes it super hard to take any game seriously anymore because of this, and I'm the type that adores a good story and quirky characters. I named all of my Final Fantasy 7 characters after ingredients when I restarted it, somewhat because of this.

 

[GamerGeek]

Definitely; I talk to myself almost constantly while playing, adding humorous sound effects, explosions, voices for the characters, extensive creative curses, or just rants... Sometimes, my friends will just watch me play something, just for the things I say...

I should learn to shut my mouth.

 

[GamerGeek]

I'm pretty bad for it, actually.
I like to criticise the character I'm playing. Like it's their fault I suck.

"Damn it Ezio what the fuck are you doing. Yeah, I said kill this guy but fuck that this random civilian pissed you off with his staring so he's going the fuck down. Oh okay yes jump off that building there, it's not like we're in a rush chasing somebody or anything."

I also have this habit of mocking cutscenes at every available opportunity. I hear it is pretty grating when I'm watching someone else play.

Second that... It's specially bad when I play Halo CE that I curse at other players and my character

All of the Assassins Creed game produce this effect. A running commentary about how stupid the main character is when they won't listen to me and decide to jump off any nearby structure, and sometimes nearby people? All the time.

 

[Astoria]

I talk to myself CONSTANTLY when playing games. I have it all, swearing, muttering, talking to characters, abusing characters, calling the game stupid you get the idea.

 

[Nomanslander]

If the game is pissing me off, you'll hear some words coming out of me about it not directed at anyone, although I should say stuff that would make an old salty-dog sailor blush.

XD

 

[dakorok]

Generally, it's mostly going through strategy and the like, though I will get rather vocal when a game throws bullshit at me.

 

[GreyKnight3445]

if by talking you mean swearing profanities every time I hit a car and go flying off my motorcycle in GTA then yes.

 

[jailbreaker]

Not a lot, but ALL THE TIME while playing Morrowind. Actually, I talk to other people while playing it. Whether they like it or not.

 

[Broken Boy]

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.

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!"

Mostly this as for the rest of the time I'm not playing Black Op's. I just berate myself for making stupid little mistakes.

 

[DSK-]

Yes, sometimes. I retort to what characters say in game or just insult them...not that they can hear me for obvious reasons >_>

 

[Zergadooful]

Always! I play games for fun, and nothing is more fun than spouting one-liners after killing everyone inside a bar in one dead-eye burst.

 

[marurder]

Plays some fun shooter
+
Gets shotgun
proceeds to use it at point blank

"fuck you" *BLAM*, "fuck you" *BLAM*

repeat until level is clear.

There is a lot more variety in what I say, but that's the most enjoyable.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

I don't talk, but I do tend to hum tunes while playing. Sometimes I hum along with the game's music if I like, mostly it's a completely unrelated tune.

 

[dex-dex]

I talk to myself while gaming.

yeah I gotta stop doing that.

 

[TheBoulder]

I don't talk to myself when I game, I just swear.
