POLL: Do you yell out loud while playing video games?
It actually depends on how much I've had to drink. I played some wasted Batman a few weeks ago and was shouting a lot. More often than not I need to have someone with me and we both shout, but on my own I generally don't make too much noise.
Only when playing shooters that aren't Timesplitters, I suck at them and die from psychic bullets across the level.
Yes and if I'm repeatedly dying at a certain part or whatever then I may even go crazy and make up curse words and beat the shit out of the couch.
No, but I usually swear profusely under my breath when I die in Skyrim or Battlefield 3, or Gears 3.

Somtimes, usually when I am trying to finish a sequeince/act/annoying gaming sequence and I just say "oh god damn it"

These as well.
Still, I never get to the point of actually hitting anything/yelling.
I feel juvenile afterwards on the rare occasions it does happen.
Which makes me feel like a moron.
I don't like feeling like a moron.
Thus, I try not to do it.
Constantly. Well, maybe not constantly, but a lot. And it almost always involves swearing, even if I'm not mad. My wife makes fun of me for it. The new Assassin's Creed has had me pretty vocal: "Yeah, that's right, motherfucker, what now? Fuckin'... STABBED." I'm a pretty laid back dude, but I do enjoy trash talking virtual people when I murder them.
There are only two times i yell out loud.
1) When i play any competitive multiplayer game and i loose due to my team or my own stupid mistake.
2) When I'm really annoyed.
Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's bad.

I say stuff along the lines of 'Fuck off' and 'Oh, that was fucking bullshit'.
These are more or less the only two things I said when playing through Uncharted 3.
...and basically any game ever.
I don't even know why I play games.
I will sometimes if something awesome happens just be like "OH SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME" but I don't really yell it. When I get really mad while playing I generally just mumble profanities and if it gets real bad I may punch my computer desk, but it takes a lot to get that to happen.
Generally in frustration I yell at my MW3 or BF3 teammates for being horrible. No team should have a member that goes +20 in TDM and still lose by 20. The complete lack of skill matching in MW3 is insanely frustrating. Playing with guys who are far worse than you, yet having teammates far worse than them is one of the worst gaming experiences available.
I've developed a vocal habit lately and Fear 2 hasn't brought out the best in me. It's fustrating because some of the production values in that game are so great, but the are meeting engagements with the enemy where they suddenly fall in luv with one shot kills(against me) and in several that also starts you off in a coffin corner of sorts to boot. Even with slo-mo it was a bit of a pain. I'm not even going to do the infamous boss battle.....
So yes I'm going to have to start curbing my voice.
Only when I'm alone or with close friends, and even then it's kind of rare unless I'm already having an off day.
Fighting games mainly, I'm always shouting "Kill him! Punch him, do the shoryouken!" type of thing.
Also when I get killed by something crazy in games.
I usually only yell when I'm killed by snipers with 900 ping in TF2. Which is usually succeeded by me taking a break.
Lately, Skyrim has lead to me vocalizing how awesome something is. IE: Bandits disappearing into the sky Team Rocket style when fighting a giant.
the people who said yes must be liars right? right? please tell me you people aren't sitting in your houses yelling at your consoles please I just can't deal with a world like that.

When people are around I do. Alone, almost never
I'm the opposite. I talk and comment like Greg Kasivan (sp?) when I'm playing by myself but I'm pretty quiet when there are others around. Not silent, but the most I get is emotional outbursts of anger or joy.
