Angry Gamers

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I will yell at my computer when a game does something exceedingly cheap and makes me retry things for the umpteenth time. This mostly happens on multi-platform releases since saving wherever you bloody want to somewhat alleviates the whole "Whoops! Better play the whole level again because we didn't give you any ability to save your progress! Ha ha!" phenomenon.

 

[Srassy]

I'm quite a bit more passive than I used to be. I remember being slightly pissed off when I got the ending cinematic for defeating General Raam and then I just so happened to have died at the same exact time so I was greeted by a giant 'Mission Failed' screen.

When I was younger, (don't remember the game) I got pissed off enough to smash half the keys off my keyboard and all the plastic holding the keys in place messed up my hand pretty bad. Still got a scar of stupidity from that.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

It takes a decent amount of punishment to get me angry at a game. I used to go off for the smallest things but thankfully not anymore.

 

[SpireOfFire]

i have spent literally hundreds of dollars on console repairs/replacements, game replacements, new controllers (the shortest time i had an xbox 360 controller was 5 days). in the past 3 months i have destroyed about 6-8 xbox 360 controllers (i shit you not). then there were the ps2 controllers, the n64 controllers, the sega genesis controllers... all over video games.

i am the definition of an angry gamer.

Megaman Zero, Megaman X, R Type. Only games that make me actually get fucking pissed off, I love them, but oh man. Oh, and Ninja Gaiden on harder difficulty setting, fucking explosive shuriken ninjas and rocket launcher ninjas.

 

[Rawker]

I swear like a pirate. One of my favorite quotes is "The english language is a wall, and the word fuck is my chisel." I do rage, but I usually I don't go overboard. Rage quitting is so much better then what could happen or what could be said, contrary to popular belief.

 

[Yokai]

Only in really extreme cases, like being dominated by the entire enemy team in TF2 or, like last night, reloading the same Halo 2 checkpoint 18 times before making it past a horde of Brutes. When I do get this frustrated, I grit my teeth, clench my fists, and scream "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE" until I'm completely out of breath. This usually calms me down.

 

[War Penguin]

Not all the time but when I do rage, I try to stay quiet because I'm sure my mom will hear all of the hilarious curses spewing from my mouth.
I just put a mute button in myself. It's pretty funny to see me rage with no sound. I just jump up and down. XD

 

[Dark Knifer]

I don't get angry at games, quite annoyed but not angry. The most angry I get is staring at the tv and say to it "your loving this, aren't you?"

 

[Jekken6]

Only in singleplayer modes when it being very unfair for the most part.Things like x-ray vision NPCs, unnecessarily hard platforming and constant trial and error. Also, broken missions and game-breaking bugs.

 

[SpartanE58]

*looks at hole in bedroom wall*
I'm not an angry gamer at all... >_>

 

[crypt-creature]

I still get angry at some games, but not much of it is cursing.
I get moody and broody, and it lasts a while.

Though when I was younger, a few controllers met their unfortunate end with the concrete floor of my parents basement.
I've mellowed out since college, thankfully. Raging in an apartment complex that doesn't have very thick walls probably would have caused a few problems.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Nah, I always make fun of mistakes.
Like dying in some FPS and saying "hey, is that my eyeball on the ground?", or " heh, I never knew I had THOSE inside me.".
Yeah, I like to make stuff up. It's fun.

Ditto. I get so frustrated when the AI has an unfair advantage over me.

But then again, I try to keep calm even then. I remember playing Max Payne 2 and dying for the billionth time in a level. My sister was surprised that I didn't start screaming or anything. Playing DA:O on the other hand... I curse like hell and yell at the screen if no one's around. The damn long loading times don't help either.

 

[ctrl-alt-postal]

If I die, I zen it up. And get better.

Unless we are winning and someone throws an obvious lag switch. And wins on account thereof. And I have a microphone. FUCKING LAGWHORES!!!

 

[sean.A7x]

I get really pissed of playing COD online, most games i don't give 2 shits if i do bad but on cod i all ways want to do good thats why i get so pissed of. And i wanna be the guy i got so pissed of at the mecha birdo and the vampire bosses but now ive given p because the metroid boss is fuckin impossible

 

[ThePirateMan]

The only times I rage is when there's something wrong with the game itself or I'm on CoD 4.

Tho when I rage on CoD4 I mostly just whisper swear words.

I very rarely rage on other games.

 

[cake42]

I don't get too worked up over games but if I'm in a match where I'm constantly being spawn killed by noob tubers I will just leave before I get angry enough to shout.
My little brother on the other hand...

 

[Booze Zombie]

I've got a friend like that, he can really bring the mood down when things don't go his way.

 

[Vohn_exel]

Haha, when my brother was little and died on Super Mario 3, he would scream at the TV, curse at it like it ate his dog, and spit all over the screen. He'd be red faced, veins bulging out, ready to punch it in it's digital face. It was kind of scary but hilarious at the same time, hehe
