Screaming at COD is a good sign that he's going to grow up to be a violent sociopath.

Take all his videogames and replace them with Animal Crossing and books.

I argue with them. And it's never a silly half hearted argument either. A full on yelling match, occasionally fists are thrown in for good measure. But we're never around each other that much to annoy each other to resort to that. Usually we get on quite well, but if we ever piss each other off, well... it's loud and painful.

You have several options:
1) Best the shit out of him.
2) Talk to your parents.
3) Be a jerk back to him (I like Fagotto's idea)
4) Ignore him
5) Plant drugs in his room and call the police
6) other

Also just think of how it could be worse. He could be a bi-polar drug addict who moved back home and then after being great for a few weeks hit his depressive stage were he took too much of his bi-polar meds which caused him to do a Dr.Jackal Mr.Hyde thing. By that I mean he started to sleep walk and break things in his sleep and not have any memory of them in the morning. He completely demolished one of the bathrooms, towel bar ripped off the wall, the shower curtain turn off from the bar and shoved in the toilet then flushed til it flooded the floor. I'm just glad he's not trying to kill anyone when he turns like that but it's getting worse.

In the short term take away COD and if that doesn't work the 360. Then I say beat his little bad ass if he acts out of control after the fact.

Retreating into one's own room for significant durations of the time works for me. As does headphones. Retreating into one's own mind works better. If you need help, 2 words:

Shoe Shopping.

Wow... the world of the future is going to be filled with a lot of violent sociopaths...

OT: I have 2 younger siblings. My little brother is actually quite well behaved, but my little sister will take any provocation to explode with rage.

Unfortunately, I can't really give any advice, because I have never tried to stop my sister's tantrums. I find them entertaining, as does the rest of my family in fact. I figure she'll calm down once her teen years are over anyway, so why not enjoy the hilarity while it lasts?

I mostly avoid my brothers. My younger brother is much easier to get along with as long as he isn't play a game, then he is ridiculously annoying with all his rage.

The only thing you can do is stay the fuck away. I have obnoxious younger siblings - three of them - and I just lock myself far away from them as much as I can.

I don't have any younger siblings. My siblings are a good few years older then I am, in their mid to late 30's. I've always seemed older (probably because of a house full of older influence), and I was always told I was a pretty well-behaved kid. I've always gotten along well with the three of them, because when I was just becoming a teenager they were out of the house and leading their own lives. We are all adults now and I live a good hour away from two, and two hours from the other.

We get together for birthdays, family occasions, etc and it's pleasant enough. I only see them a few times a year. We keep in touch with occasional Facebook posts, that's all I really use it for.

When my brother acts like a cheeky shit, I give him a light punch in the stomach, because I know it doesn't hurt him yet he pretends it does and puts on the waterworks, my parents have caught onto this and tell him to shut up.

I don't really have any problems with my two oldest brothers, since they've been out of the house for a long time. My 3rd eldest brother can be a REALLY massive prick to me at times, but I just try to ignore him when he tries to annoy me or stay away from him. I will say he's gotten a lot better since I was 10-13 years old.

when he is playing cod (if on wireless internet) restart the router so he gets d/c, he will yell and such but it will be funny.

Man up. You were probably much the same at his age. Younger siblings always seem irritating to the older ones, especially where similar traits are concerned. My younger brother can't stand my little sister, because they're pretty much identical personality wise.

Sure, I find my little brother annoying too, but there's really not that much that can be done about it. He's an obnoxious passive-aggressive immature twerp, but he's still my brother. Being tolerant is about the only way to deal with it. Also, the fact that I can take him in a physical confrontation if needs be.

Been there, done that. I've got three younger siblings and about thirty cousins, every one of whom is younger than I am. We're all adults now, but man, when they were little.....

Let's just say I've been forever ruined on the subject of children.

My kid brother was so unbearable I once shot him with a bow and arrow just to get him out of my face for the two minutes it took him to go in the house and tattle on me. For those about to cry "Monster!", it was one of those summer camp bows with about a five pound pull, so it didn't even leave a mark, let alone pierce his pink pudgy skin. The point is I was willing to take a week of grounding to get two minutes of peace. The wages of sib.

I wouldn't know how to deal with the OP's problem. My brother and I grew up liking each other. I'm 3 years older than him, and our parents say that I used to change his diapers when he was younger.

Nowadays we get along well. Play online games, have discussions about science, morality, school life, philosophy and anything else we think of.
