Do you speak to yourself whilst gaming?

SideWinder · 13 Jul 2010 at 20:16

Just listening to my housemate play storymode in Batman and i've noticed he speaks quite a bit to himself. The usual quotes include:

"Yeah? What you got?!"
"Haha have it!"
"Woah what is THAT?"
"Ah cool"

...so does anyone else chat to themselves whilst gaming? I only shout/swear/etc during online sessions and its normally my friends who can hear me due to my microphone.

If I'm playing a racing game I usually swear at my AI opponents, calling them such harsh names when they go past me, or taunt them when I make them crash or something.

I like to talk to have a discussion about strategy with myself while gaming. If its online and I'm in an Xbox Party it is quite weird as the entire group goes silent as I talk to myself....doesn't work if someone is on the opposite team either

.

I do also shout a lot of verbal insults at people/AI alike if I'm not doing well.

Yep, I talk to my self. Mainly expletive's when I do something stupid !!!

I have shouted at racing games for bashing me off the road on NFS:Shift and Grid...

Streetfighter makes me rage but I don't generally have a conversation just shout at the monitor at the given moment.

They say it's a sign of madness when one starts speaking to himself.

I do it regularly though, gaming or not gaming.

Shamikebab · 13 Jul 2010 at 21:09

I shout at my self and the game occasionally....especially with Fifa.

So much swearing when on CoD and Fifa. Parents have become accustomed to it I think.

Xinn · 13 Jul 2010 at 21:17

Many many odd things emanate from my mouth when playing CoD4

That video of the german(?) kid going apepoop is worryingly similar to my reaction when playing Nemesis on my MSX. It cheated and I taught it a lesson by giving it a good pounding with both fists and it didn't break!

Edit: forgot to mention I was 14 at the time so probably a bit hormonal :|

Vonhelmet · 13 Jul 2010 at 21:54

I've been swearing like mental playing frakking Mirror's Edge.

Rroff · 13 Jul 2010 at 21:56

nope don't speak to myself when playing usually... the odd time if internet goes down mid game or something you might hear the odd explicit thats all.

Not really. I remember trash talking the boss's in the first metal gear solid though! haha.

Twentyone · 14 Jul 2010 at 00:27

Quite a lot

ic1male · 14 Jul 2010 at 01:13

All the time. I like reeling off quotes by Sir Alan during Bad Company 2 such as saying to my squad when they are losing, "what a shower!" or "what a load of tut!"

The Seventh One · 14 Jul 2010 at 01:33

lol yeah, I tend to curse a lot, more so when playing Fifa lately.

Fifa has been said a couple of times, game needs to come with a rage warning on the box lol.

Davinnicus · 14 Jul 2010 at 01:38

Whilst playing Demons Souls tonight, I was calling myself all sorts of expletives, especially as I knew what I was doing, having replayed that section quite a few times.

V4NT0M · 14 Jul 2010 at 01:40

I don't really count it as talking to myself, rather just thinking out loud.
