Does anyone else talk to themselves when they play  the game??

I usually don't realise I'm doing it - the guards just draw you in with
their little conversational pieces, and I always find myself creeping up
behind one with the blackjack high in the air, saying something like "it's
not the ones outside you need to worry about, it's the one behind you..."

I've also spent a good portion of my time outside the game confusing my
friends by quoting that wonderful bit of patter right at the start of the
games about the bear pits... cracks me up everytime I hear it...

i talk to myself while playing most every game!  hehe, but this one
rocks.. yeah, draws you right in...

i enjoy reciting the hammerites phrase... ... do you ask it to repour
itself?  nay, you tear it down and build aknew.  so will it be with all my
children, whether they be stone or flesh...

or something like that ;)

I add little throw away lines just after I kill them, like:
I sneak up behind a guard, out with the black jack...
smack
" Ow".....thump

" Nighty night"

Look Behind You!
