Poll: Rage and Gaming

[Ruagh]

Most of the time, I'm fine. But there's the occasional day when I'm just in a bad mood and the poor controller end up flung at the floor...

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

This only really happened with online multiplayer games.

Now it never happens because the only time I play online multiplayer is to piss around.

As for the reference you were going for in the poll, it's "Calm Like a Bomb".

But yeah, I get angry at games a lot. When I do, I usually hit myself on the head (which I now realise is quite strange) or smash my keyboard, which is why I've had to hi-jack my moms keyboard and mouse.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

I've only ruined something once, and when I tell you why, you will understand and support me.
Burnout 3, Road Rage, 42 cars, 45 is the required limit. Failed 8 times in a row, 42 all those times. That PS2 controller never saw daylight again, it stumbled in my hand and fell into the wall. Hard.

I know wasnt really paying attention when I typed the poll responses

 

[zacoid5]

I've quit WoW a couple of times, raged at people and punched walls because of my rage, the usual stuff

 

[Gimelbub]

I once smashed a keyboard after one-too-many deaths in I Wanna Be the Guy. Just remembering it makes me angry again.

 

[Gileseypops]

I've gotten a little fed up while playing games sometimes, like getting killed constantly on online multiplayer games (especially against those scarily-good clan members), but I find it's more constructive to just turn off the console and do something outside instead. x

 

[Thegreyfox666]

My headphones once fought a wall, they lost. Badly.

 

[Grayjack]

Online games anger me very easily. I've punched a few holes in the wall as a result.

 

[teisjm]

I may have yelled a bit, and bitched (not in-game though) but nothing more.

 

[axle 19]

Today ended with a nostalgic game of Double Agent multiplayer. Apparently not getting to be the spys is grounds for five straight people to quit and complain because we wouldnt switch.

 

[Zannah]

The only thing that ever made me yell at the screen was in Devil May cry 4, the jumping sections in the Paladin-headquarters, which control rather... *special* with a keyboard

 

[ma55ter_fett]

Calm as a Bomb?

That?s an oxymoron if ever there was one, but no I don?t get angry I don?t see the point in it.

It usually makes you play worse.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

I suffer from a cronic case of call of duty syndrome.

Definition of call of duty syndrome: A leading cause to an early grave due to stress by glitchers and campers. Also the syndrome may inherite broken controllers and headsets with furious rage quits.

so yeah i get pretty darn angry that i shout so loud my mum comes up and turns my Xbox off as she is trying to watch eastenders LOL! which gets me super pissed!

 

[foodmaniac]

I'm generally really calm, but I do remember raging once when I was playing Devil May Cry 3, but only because I was playing on DMD mode. I still have nightmares from mission...11 I think... The one where you fight Beowulf. Not only was the mission was long, the boss was by far the hardest in the whole game. Of course, once I learned about DTE, the mission became a joke.

 

[UPRC]

When I was younger, I would throw controllers or break games if I didn't care for them too much. I still remember when Hoshigami pissed me off a bit too much. I threw the disc, cut it up with scissors, and then burned it. Yeah...

Haven't done much in years though except maybe curse a bit. If a game annoys me too much, I just turn it off and walk away.
