On the Record  Posts: 5949 Joined: 29 Jun 2008     | I talk to myself when doing something really difficult whilst gaming. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1061 Joined: 16 Apr 2009     | Oh I talk to myself in more than games. Like right now I'm talking to myself what my response would be to a possible response I might get on another comment.......what? |
Muckraker  Posts: 297 Joined: 1 Jul 2009     | Most of the time, yeah. I'll also read out the dialogue if there isn't any voice acting. |
Muckraker  Posts: 318 Joined: 25 Oct 2008   | Yeah, all the time... My friends always start laughing at me when I speak to the character I'm playing with. "GO THERE! Good boy, I'll give you a cookie later, WTF DON'T DO THAT! Who are you then?" etc. It's embarrassing sometimes cos I just can't stop talking, plus I always talk in English when I play and that annoys some of my friends a lot. |
Master Archivist  Posts: 9893 Joined: 10 Mar 2009     | Whenever A.I is involved I always talk to them. Whether it be L4D or RE5, I always talk to them. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 117 Joined: 2 Jul 2009    | 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? |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 356 Joined: 2 Feb 2009    | Aside from the "WHAT THE F*@K IS WRONG WITH YOU" or things like "GODDAMMIT" I don't really talk to myself during gaming. I definitely do online though. But I'm not sure if that qualifies as talking to yourself. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1308 Joined: 18 Feb 2009    | "C´mon, you can do it. Just dodge and strike, dodge and strike. Watch out for that flying bugger. Noooo! Why can´t you jump, for christ´s sake." Yes, I do talk whilst playing, but not to myself. I like to give helpful tips and constructive criticism to the player character. After all, we are a team. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 29 Jun 2009     | Yea, I talk to myself ALOT in games, either criticizing myself , the A.I, or other people with my unique brand of mixing whatever swear words I can come up with at the time and mixing them together (I'm kinda renowned for it in my gaming community) and I talk to myself around the house a lot too, for example, If I have forgotten what I went downstairs for, I'll have a go at myself for forgetting. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 557 Joined: 15 Feb 2009   | A bit, mostly I shout at the people in-game (NPCs or other players online). |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 81 Joined: 1 Sep 2008    | Its more yelling at my computer or tv when playing WoW or halo |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1628 Joined: 17 Mar 2009   | When I die I usually swear. Does that count? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1013 Joined: 25 Dec 2008     | aside from frustration or snide remarks...well not really |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 489 Joined: 16 Apr 2009   | Hell, I talk to myself when I'm NOT gaming let alone when I am. I've taunted many a boss and even got in trouble one time for yelling at my DS when at Church (more specifically pulling up to the Church parking lot to volunteer for a summer event but it still counts) when I yelled at the ungrateful shopkeeper in Portrait of Ruin those that have played the game will probably know what I'm talking about. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1829 Joined: 18 Dec 2008   | I talk to myself all the time, mainly asking myself where something is, where am I supposed to be, how someone/something is a jerk, screaming at whatever I'm killing (ye-hehehehehehe! Not so tough now? DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE! AHAHAHAHAHA!). You know, stuff like that. |
SUSPENDED  Posts: 2707 Joined: 5 May 2008   | By talk do you mean swear compulsively like a Alzheimers ridden Teurettes sufferer ? Then yes, yes I do. User was suspended for: Religious Ignorance: A Plea to (some) Atheists. (14 days) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 704 Joined: 23 Apr 2009  | Yes, but only to yell about things that happen. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2317 Joined: 14 Apr 2009  | I talk to myself anyway. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4012 Joined: 17 Feb 2008  | Well its more like I'm talking aloud even when I'm the only one in the room. But yes I do talk when I'm playing games. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 117 Joined: 2 Jul 2009 | The thing I'd like to point out, though, is that I never yell at the game, or players in it. I'm a pretty laid back kind of guy, if I get killed in a videogame, I usually just shake my head, shrug it off, and try again. But then it's probably because I'm used to getting my ass handed to me in online games. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3729 Joined: 22 Jun 2009   | When i play driving games i allways say what im doing e.g. break, Gas, Gear Change, Hand brake. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 923 Joined: 19 Apr 2009  | I get pissed off and yell, when I can't complete some irritating part of a game. I also talk to myself while playing horror games. There's nothing there, there's nothing there AWWWWW JESUS F*CK! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3162 Joined: 13 Jun 2009 | Yeah, but I talk in small spurts of comments like Ha ha sucker,or what did you want me to do, or okay, let's go over here, over here and there. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 523 Joined: 7 Apr 2009  | I speak with the spider on the wall instead. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3145 Joined: 22 Jun 2008   | I don't talk to myself, I constantly berate the troops/AI for constantly misinterpreting my orders. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3407 Joined: 26 Jun 2008  | I sometimes go "grrrrrr" when things go bad, but never carry out a conversation. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 853 Joined: 29 Jun 2009    | I sometimes tell my AI teammates to stop looking at the birdie in the tree and start shooting the damn Nazis. Other than that, not really. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 632 Joined: 30 May 2009   | Totally. I even "roleplay" in single player games... like saying "hey, sup?" to bystanders in Fallout 3 when I walk past them :P |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2501 Joined: 1 Sep 2008 | I say "Are you shitting me?" to myself when I lose, if that counts... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1392 Joined: 27 Mar 2009   | *raises hand* I do. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 942 Joined: 26 Mar 2009  | When I'm using a laggy computer and it bugs out and I turn the game on again to find out that I have died it MAKES ME SO FRUCKIN' MAD!!!!!!! I just scream at my computer till my face turns blue and usually that relieves the stress. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 203 Joined: 22 Feb 2009  | Always! Usually to tell the NPCs to get the hell out of my way, occasionally a "where the hell did that rock/wall/whatever come from" and in the case of Half Life 2 it was "I've ALREADY fucking reloaded!" |

Oh, phew, thank goodness I'm not the only one who does this. And yes, sometimes I'll talk to myself when I'm gaming, particularly if I'm struggling at a section. |

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?
