Do you scream at your computer?

[lvl9000_woot]

Ohh....I've yelled at, screamed at, and even punched my screen (I had a CRT monitor.) Eventually, everything had a greenish/yellowish hue to it.

Yup. I have anger issues. XD

 

[teisjm]

Nope, i make my computer scream instead.

 

[Wadders]

Oh hells yeah. This picture is an accurate representation of what happens when my PC does something stupid/ breaks, or when I'm failing at a game:

Online Computer FPSs cause me to use many pretty words....like a rainbow...

 

[Sleipnir]

Totally depends on whether there is someone else in the room or not... I'm near silent when alone, but if I'm playing a game all quiet like and then after about an hour my cat or sister walk in, I'll start having a hissy fit at my game, because there is someone who I need to express my anger to...

Summary: I don't need to tell myself when I am angry at something but others cannot read my mind so I can tell them if I feel like it.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Here's a little something to give you an idea of the yelling part...

...just pretend the mouse is a computer.

 

[mmkorn22]

My computer is an asshole. I called it fat the other day to hurt its feelings. I never yell at it because that's what it wants. I won't let that smug bastard have the satisfaction of seeing me lose my cool.

When there are hardware malfunctions you better believe I will drop an Fbomb or nine.

 

[John-Joe]

When I play Heroes of Newerth I get very angry if I die many times in a row. Very angry.

Recently I made all the keys from my keyboard run amok in my room, and yesterday I thumped my knee so hard under my table that my sound system fell to the ground, followed by a full glass of water.

I'm really afraid that I might throw my mouse into the wall one day.. I really like my mouse.

 

[HentMas]

yes... and it is true for a lot of games and consoles, but afterwards i just chuckle and keep playing once i vented

no i dont shout in the mic

its almost always when the game is being either "unfair" or "cheating" (this includes Lag)

but if someone squashes me by pure skill, i congratulate them

 

[Ciarang]

Nope, never. Screaming at it won't do anything.

Although, I do sometimes yell at people in-game when they're being annoying.

I do this too. ^_^

OT: I don't yell at my computer.. I threaten it with a knife. >:[]

That's because you're a good sport. Few online players are.

Oh, and I only yell at mine when things don't work the way they should. Is it too much to ask for something to work properly?

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

If i'm doing voicework, I do. But generally, no.

 

[The Jono]

Shout? Hah, I used to verbally threaten it with a crowbar, then hit it with a rock. We never got the dent out.

 

[Pimppeter2]

No, but I do hit it a lot

 

[Dogstile]

I actually put my fist through the screen once. Yeah... i'm a shouter.

 

[mstieler]

I recently started screaming at my comp until I got the hang of WoW's Argent Tournament dailies. Stupid gnomes and their tiny shield buffs....

 

[Owain Thomas Davies Ellis]

Nah, I just threaten to install vista on it.
