Do Games Make You Angry?

I get mad at games when they require precice control, but are made poorly and are thus, unresponsive. Otherwise, no I just get mad at online communities for games' multiplayer.
Yes especially the inFamous final boss on hard, where all his attacks were labeled Bullshit 1-10.
In short if video games pull the old bullshit card I'll get pissed at them very, very quickly.

I flip out sometimes playing TF2 as a spy, I have no problem messing up and getting caught cloaked by someone skilled, but I rage to the high heavens if it's just some amateur pyro who holds down the left mouse button until he hits me.
CoD:WaW and the constant, every two seconds, five grenades, grenade-spamming enemy soldiers that could throw so perfectly they cut off all escape routes.
Civilization Revolution and some of the utter bullshit that the AI pulls, I have you down to one city, so you aren't getting reinforcements from another city without my seeing, but still you continue to spam riflemen units just powerful enough not to be overrun despite being totally blockaded. Oh, and knights vs. fighter planes should be an auto-win for the planes, I shit you not, I have had Zero fighters beaten by the knights of a less-advanced nation than me when I was playing as Japan.
I rage at some of the stupider, more pointless physics puzzles in Half-Life 2, why can I not just go shoot some headcrab zombie things, I don't want to stack boxes. I have nothing wrong with puzzles, I just hate dumb ones like some of HL2's.
People on L4D make me rage, it's that specific game too, it really annoys me how everyone takes it really seriously and can't laugh at something funny that happens.

Pretty much how I go about it. I don't get angry very often anyway, usually it's only when I play arenas in WoW that I might let slip a few profanities due to the nature of retribution paladins. My current arena partner even told me how fun it is playing with me, since my mood swings are highly unpredictable and usually hilarious.Daezd said:
...and as it happens, I also have a list of "words" that I utter when I'm angry that usually just make me laugh at myself and forget what actually happened. One of my favorites is the word "Fnöööö". No, it doesn't mean anything, but try saying it without laughing afterwards.
Geist, NGC. Stage... 11(?). Also, the final boss was fucking annoying.
any need for speed game - they have all made me incredulously angry at some point...

The only time video games really pissed me off is when I couldn't complete some goal that wasn't a part of the game but that I was trying to accomplish anyway. I'd usually throw the controller then.
idk ill get irritated or annoyed in left 4 dead pugs when my teammates do things they really shouldnt but otherwise i dont normally.
Geist.. For the Gamecube. The level where you're forced to take on the body of an enemy soldier to fight the leader of the guard, or something. Biggest pain in my ass.
Hahaha. Does a game make me angry? Does a bear shit in the woods? Is the sky blue? Fuck yeah games get me angry. I have a very short fuse, and when things stop going my way i am quick to start swearing at the screen as if my opponent will hear what Im threatening him with and start to suck. If a games challenge continues to kick my ass i start to punch the local furniture. If i keep losing, i take it as the game is challenging me for dominance of the pride. I keep getting angrier and punching more furniture. Ill stop, go get a sammich and let my hand cool then go back. After that I normally get it about the 3rd time on the retry. So yes.
Oh, I suffer from rage badly. Thankfully none of the controller snapping rage. Just me blindly yelling and swearing at my television. It's more funny than anything, really. Plus after the rage settles down (about ten seconds later) I laugh about it.
On average no. Most games don't actually present that great a challenge to me. But then i played megaman 9, and was reminded that in ages past, they made games just to antagonize the players. Even scarier, i eventually got good enough to beat the damn thing.
Err, I wouldn't say games themselves make me angry, but more the people who don't play them correctly. Take Call of Duty 4 online for example. How many times have you assumed you're the only player looking for the enemy, and not camping?
If I get stuck I usually just leave it for a while until I'm feeling less frustrated. I get annoyed at my inability to do things but I don't think I've ever been mad at a game.
I've been pretty frustrated at games and have done rage quits but it's not really too big a deal. I usually start playing again about 15 minutes into realizing how boring my real life is.
I can get pretty mad during World of Warcraft sometimes. Especially in battlegrounds. Never get angry at the game itself, though, only the players and Blizzard.
Friggin' melee-classed players keep stepping behind me, Why the feck do they do that?! because they can't win a fair, honourable battle with a mage?
Secondly: Damn Blizzard! I thought you wanted to keep the horde and alliance ratio balanced on all servers? Well then, does a horde:alliance ratio of 1:2.7 seem fair?
