Talking to yourself while gaming.

[Mr. Bojangles]

When I talk it's like MST3K. I just make loads of jokes to myself about dialogue and story and RAILING KILL!

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

I end up doing commentary on some games and then games where I have opponents who fight me I scream taunts and if I'm losing I resort to major profanity. My dad occasional says I need help because of this habit.

 

[PatrickXD]

DEFCON has been my latest game in which I talk to myself. It's a beautiful game, and I just sit there chatting away about Global Thermonuclear War.

 

[revolutionaification]

All the damn time. Not even always to figure things out or rage at it, sometimes I just do.

For example, first Mass Effect playthrough, hit Virmire, up pops 'the choice' and after the initial 'Noooooo' I proceeded to debate out loud about which one I'd go for.

And that's just the least embarassing example.

 

[estoria-etnia]

I have a running commentary going whenever I game; whether I'm commenting on gameplay or whatever else is going on. I also tend to swear and yell a lot when I get particularly frustrated.

I do a similar things with movies.

Then again, I tend to mutter to myself in real life...

 

[Nouw]

I just trash-talk (in the 'right' way), swear and say one-liners. I also laugh, sigh and if I have time:Facepalm.

What?

 

[Cowabungaa]

Occasional trash-talk, occasional mumbling but usually that's it.

Except when I'm playing a horror game, or a particulary well-made (and unexpected) horror level. Then I have a full blown monologue where I keep going on about random things, or I try to belittle the game for, well, just being a game and that 'you can't scare me!' Things like that.

Yeah, it helps keep the fear away. Got me through that awful hotel level in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. I didn't need it in Dead Space, not even once (despite not having finished it, have to start over again) but I have the feeling that I will need it a LOT in Amnesia: Dark Descent. Why did I buy that game...

 

[UltraDeth]

I do talk to myself a bit when playing. I remember playing Half Life 2 and shouting at other NPCs "Why the fuck don't you do it?!?!"

 

[northeast rower]

1. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT (getting killed for the 50th time on Modern Warfare 2 by campers)
2. Die, bruthafucka! (assassinating the Pope in AC 2)
3. Fucking water, man. Fucking water. So shiny, man. (Playing Red Dead and getting a view of the Mexican border, having been awake for over 24 hours on an all-night study session that was unfortunately derailed)

 

[OptimisticPessimist]

I once issued forth a formal, and rather graphic, death threat to the creators of the game I was playing...AT The game I was playing. Think about it.

 

[Berserker119]

In RPGs I talk to myself, planning out what I'm going to do next, but mostly I just say 'shitshitshitshitshitshit fuck.me.' under my breath.

 

[Athol]

Usually strings of semi-mumbled profanities when a game isnt going so well for me.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Why not talk to the walls and such? They listen...

Ah, someone who shares my sentiments on that. Ah, yes, the walls. Such a great companion. What were we talking about again?

 

[Srdjan]

When nobody is around, I must talk to someone.

 

[Andy999]

Heh, I've actually cursed out the developers of a game during a frustrating section of an otherwise fun game. Mass Effect Mako areas come to mind. Always quietly though, cause if anyone heard they'd think I'm off my rocker...

 

[theriddlen]

I sometimes repeat some lines from the game i play or i played recently.

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROLL!

 

[Rockchimp69]

I'm used to playing games while in xbox live parties so when I'm going solo I usually just say whatever comes into my head. But it's pretty much always in context, "fucking campers" and the like.

 

[EmzOLV]

I do it all the time, usually along the lines of "well that was stupid, wasn't it" and "what are you doing!!" haha.

I'm a bit personally self-destructive obviously...

You sound like you are bullying yourself. XD

OT: Only if I play games like Fire Emblem. And I think I have replied to this topic already...

Haha yeah it is a bit like that. Basically ends up being some of the following:

"Oh great, why did you press A? Stupid woman"
"Fantastic, now you're dead. Stupid. Just stupid"
"I have absolutely no idea what I'm meant to do... just look it up... look it up... go on"
"OH What did you DO?!"

And sometimes when I'm winning or do something lucky:

"Aw WOW. I can't believe it"
haha
