Does anyone actually talk to themselves when playing a game alone?

No, but I do talk to the characters in the game sometimes. Mainly I just yell at them, sometimes they yell back, depends on how many beers I've had.

Virtual Jenna Jameson isn't a game ;)

That's what she said.

Yep, Silent Hill is pretty creepy.. Leaves you with that constant uncomfortable feeling... Still remember going into the hotel or whatever and the lights going out... Ugh.. I think I quit playing right there LOL

I get very involved in games so its easy to get scared.. I really "live it"

Another game that creeps me is Thief/Thief 2, its not a "scary" game, but the way its made, usually everything is silent and all you hear is the guards talking, and then theres some ghost voices mumbling something, it used to creep me out every time

Oh and Aliens Vs Predator (the original) wins the award.. I totally forgot but, I couldnt even play the demo when it came out.. I start hearing the beeps and seeing the dots on the radar, but everything is dark.. "WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? FUCK FUCK" I just couldnt handle it and quit every time

At that one part where you're running through some office building and the girl randomly crawls our at you before disappearing, that FREAKED me out the first time, it was the perfect random scary bit.

I couldn't even play Bioshock when I was alone in the house. It was bad.

FEAR was boring. I didn't even bother to finish it.

Same. I tried to finish it, but just could not stomach it after the first little while.
