That's right.

Not.... Really....

OT: I just go play LBP.

 

[Insanum]

Games that annoy me? Well, Lets see:

Anything Mario Based, ESPECIALLY MARIOKART. (blue shell in MKWii is broken)
Platform games in general
PGR3/4
MotoGP
Guitar Hero
Rock Band
Star Wars: Force Unleashed
Red Faction: Guerilla
Pokemon Series
Guitar hero (again, Serious rage)
CoD MW2 online.
CoD5 online (DOGS - FUUUUUUUUUUU)

...And probably many MANY more.

...I have rage.

Incidently, Im actually REALLY prone to rage when playing online, but im docile & light hearted when Lan'ing.

 

[Instant K4rma]

Every minute I play MW2 Im in this mood. Listening to music helps me stay calm though.

 

[Liam1390]

I quit for a while and listen to some music. That always works for me.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

I'm usually pretty calm, but there have been a few times where I've gotten really mad.

Soul Caliber 3 is the only game where I've thrown a controller. Unfortunately, it's also the only time I've busted a controller. The thing is literally held together with tape, and the R2 button is just barely sitting in place.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Wow, I didn't realize so many people get stressed out.
Usually I just make a fist for a second or two, then just mutter lame, and then tell myself how I could improve. It's how I've managed to stay sane playing IWBTG.

If my friend is cheating in Mario Kart Double Dash on the other hand (read unplugging my controller) then I start to get more frustrated but not to the point of actual swearing.

 

[Srkkl]

My older brother threw my controller once, he never used it again. I get really hot headed and loud so I usually mute everyone or don't have my mic in so they don't have to hear it. To cool down I leave the game thats bugging me and try another one or just quit and play my drums.

 

[The Candyman]

If I can't beat a game I normally turn it off for a while and calm down before going back to it. However, my brother is a sore loser. I beat at something (can't remember what) and he threw my controller across the room and broke it.

My older brother has done that a couple of times also. I only get mad at other people if they use cheap tactics, like hiding and using the rocket launcher when anyone finds them. But I get angry at them whether I win or lose. If they win by skill, then I'll congratulate them.

 

[ToastyTheCommie]

Meh I mostly just ***** at people when Im pissed i cant beat a particularly annoying boss, on multiplayer I've come to insta-mute anyone in a game with a mic unless theyre my friend.

 

[Earthmonger]

If someone manages to kill me, hey, good for them, shame on me. If they kill me twice, hey, I bring down the wrath of my entire guild on their ass. All for one, and one for all, muddafukka.

That's right.

Only insomuch as strippers are toys. Just interactive entertainment.

 

[Searlero]

I tend to hit my right leg as the last time I got angry at Football manager, my laptop pretty much died. DA:O and MW2 (especially campers), tend to get me riled at the moment.

 

[Jing the Bandit]

I attempt to calm down and try harder. Nobody is perfect, and that includes my opponent, too.

 

[Blatherscythe]

I'll admit, I'm guilty of freaking out because of a game. Usually though, the game or the people playing it were using cheap/dickmove tatics.

 

[Maelgwyn]

I know I talk to the TV when playing... and the other characters

Meanwhile, WoW is the only game that I get frustrated at because we all pay for it...

 

[bcponpcp27]

I don't get over worked about others over videogames, but about the game itself if it's under my skin. My rants are legend in my house. I'm in the basement, and you can hear every word from the top floor. Here is a quote (probably) "FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING BULLSHITTING GAME PIECE OF SHIT! GODDAMN CHEATING BASTARD AI BULLSHIT! I WON THAT AND YOU FUCKING KNOW IT COMPUTER!"

I get frustrated

 

[tmujir955]

I generally just toss it, or log off.

I'll admit I've had WoW drive me up the fucking wall a good hundred billion times. When I did play I was stuck on a PvP server as that's where all my RL friends had setup camp and I didn't really want to leave once I'd established myself there. That said I still have never been much of a PvP player and tend to avoid it, getting gank-camped by a UD rogue for 8342759834753 hours (as they don't have lives to do anything else, or seek anyone of an actual challenge to fight back, ever) or tag team sky-camped by a team of 16 Belfs because most of our strongholds had no real defenses of any kind...yeah, I'd get a bit hot under the collar.

Honestly it's more the people that decide every daily questing zone has to be a PVP WAAAARRRRRFORTHEHOOOOOOOORRRDDDEEEZONE were the worst, the king of all dick moves being relentlessly griefing everyone in sight that tries to do that terrible, terrible spectral worg one for the Sons of Hodir. I know Alliance do this shit too, I'm not arguing that, but yeah it's a major piss off when the other team, that's 90 billion people strong and growing (as our people jump ship, or just transform instantly) is always everywhere all the time and always in the 'shoot first, camp later, always travel in PvP teams' mood. And you never are.

I know you can move, but I didn't really want to pay for it, nor did I want to leave all my roots of friends and the like behind. Nor was PvP -> PvE ever an option for free at any time...

Guh, I feel dirty now. I'm going to avoid mentioning WoW for a while, or at least until my kidneys feel better.

Dude, I did not understand a single thing you said there.

I think you need to get out of the house more often.

 

[TheColdHeart]

I remember I was playing Goldeneye at a friends once and we were playing with 3 controllers. Me my friend and his younger brother. My friend lost and in rage went to throw his controller away but instead pretty much drove it into his brothers face. There was A LOT of blood, screaming and he had his N64 taken off him for a month.

Usually when I get pissed at a game I just pause the game put the controller down and take a breather. Some cases just turn it off and go back a few hours later.

Although once a challenge on Tony Hawks Underground on 'sick' had be so frustrated I cracked my controller in my hands when I twisted it in rage...wouldn't have been as bad if it wasn't my ONLY controller and I hadn't saved the game.

 

[[Insert Name Here]]

I've gotten mad online only once, because of people who drop grenades just before dying on Uncharted 2 multiplayer so that after I've killed them, they still get a kill.
