Poll: Do you talk to yourself while gaming?

[Grabbin Keelz]

I like to practice my english accent by saying 'buggah' and 'bloody hell' whenever I die.

 

[King of Wei]

All the damn time. Reading dialogue options out load, taunting the enemy AI when I'm dominating a game, criticizing poor NPC life choices, or saying what I really would say if I were in the protagonist's position.

Something I really get a kick out of is when I respond to an NPC comment, then either that NPC or one close by says something that would be a logical response to my statement. This happened with nearly every conversation in half-life 2, which is part why I love it so much.

 

[Lazruth]

A whole lot, yeah. Especially when I play online because it's one of the few ways I can have an intelligent conversation while playing Black Ops.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

Not

This also includes muttering, answering characters' speeches, or plain old swearing when something goes wrong.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Hell, In Zelda: Twilight Princess, I basically spoke out loud for Link.

And I'm not (too) ashamed of that!

 

[Vault101]

If somthing realy shocking happens I might let out a giggle or an "aw fuck!" but not really hell Im even to shy to use voice chat online

 

[FightThePower]

All the time. I rage quite a lot, so a lot of it is shouting to myself. Usually when I have a mini-seizure and become completely incapable of performing the most basic tasks. I do not tolerate failure.

 

[blankedboy]

In my head occasionally, never out loud. That's just weird.

 

[Klopy]

I rarely talk to myself. I tried it once, but it felt weird.

I do, however, talk to myself in my head during a game, if that makes any sense. Its just sorta 'Haha that guy's stuck in a wall, that breaks immersion' sorta stuff, though.

 

[theguiltyone]

The only time is when something horrible happens, like dying on a super hard boss, and then it's just a bunch of cussing. But that counts, right?

 

[El Camarado]

I tend to read text aloud if there is no voice acting, crack personal jokes, say extra bits of dialouge with the npcs (either as myself or as the characters), and call my character an idiot and berate him for doing something when I would do something much different (usually because I think in rather odd ways that game developers probably either wouldn't anticipate or wouldn't bother going through the extra effort for.)

I don't swear at all, and rarely say anything when I am frustrated though.

 

[Crazy_Man_42]

Yeah I talk to myself when playing as well but not a whole lot and mostly its about the game or commenting on something about it I like or dislike about it out loud

 

[TheMann]

I fill in Gordon's lines in HL2. All. The. Time.

"Man of few words."
"Gimme a break, Alyx, I've been out of suspended animation, or whatever, for about 15 minutes and I've already been beaten, tasered, and nearly fallen to my death while being shot at while running across rooftops. A little out of breath here."

"Now about that beer I owe you."
"Yeah Barney, how about that beer you owe me."

And so on, pretty much through the whole game, I'm weird like that. Or if an enemy is pissing me off, I'll go out of my way to kill it and yell "Die! Die! Die!", when I finally get the bastard. I'd actually love to do a Let's Play, but I'll have to find a game that nobody, or few people have done, and script it well.

Hmm, suggestions anyone? Preferably an FPS or platformer.

 

[Tsunimo]

Yes, I do.
All the time.
Even if other people are there watching play, or I'm talking to them over Live, instead of talking to them when something good or bad happens, I just swaer or cheer to myself.
I also sing parts of songs and hum to myself when I gt bored.

 

[crudus]

It depends if there is people around. If people are in the house/apartment then I will only mutter. If I am alone it is no holds barred and I yell/talk/question whatever is on the screen at the time.

 

[Dan Steele]

I yell at myself when i die in an online game
