Poll: Rage and Gaming

[Awexsome]

I'm pretty guilty of rage-quitting in MW2 sometimes but only in the team deathmatch games where being down a man isn't as big of a factor since it'll probably be replaced quickly (probably with someone better, I'd be just adding to the death count for the team). But I never rage-quit out of a game like Halo or a MW2 objective type like search & destroy where every man counts.

I can get frustrated in those types but I don't rage in them. Especially Halo since if you are getting destroyed by a better team there's always an option for screwing around with the more unused weapons or even better mongoose splatter attempts.

Yeah MW2 has got me raging alot lately. Bullshit cheating fest, inbalanced weapons and perks, glitchy piece of shit multiplayer... The idiot who suggested akimbo should be shot

Should he be shot AKIMBO???? L0LLLLERSKATES.

Someone kill me please. Wasn't it the case that akimbo was very inaccurate?

I tend to get angry when doing arena in WoW and also getting killed by cheating bastards in MW2.

The only thing that I did out of anger was that I punched my keyboard so hard that the support legs in the left side broke due to the power of the punch.Other than that,when I have a bit of rages at MW2 I lift my mouse off the pad and hit it lightly against it.

The only game I got mad at was Super Ghouls and Ghosts for killing me off when I was 5 seconds from the real ending.

That cost me about a hundred bucks to fix the wall and to get a new controller.

My version of raging is: Calmly exiting the game, and playing a nice turn based rts instead.

I have a very sturdy desk that can take a pound now and then when I die.

The worst I've done was smash my feet into the ground so hard that they stung for about 15 minutes afterward. I think that's also right around the time I stopped playing MW2.

Video games don't get me much anymore; light swearing at most.
Poker, however... Fortunately you don't use a controller for that, and I value my laptop too much to harm it, but many a chair has felt my wrath!

 

[Kyber]

hehe, the second option is a song from rage against the machine. do you get the idea? "rage against the machine"

Only Call of Duty or Gears of War online has resorted me to this, playing against and AI is easy and predictable, but real opponents, well it can make me rage at times, not because of the real players skill, but how the game can be so unbalanced or broke.
i.e 3 shotguns to a still opponent in GoW2 online does nothing, but one shot from them from several feet away instantly takes my head off.

I threw a tantrum once or twice. Not often though.

 

[Lullabye]

AS much as I would love to say I stay calm, cool and collected, in all honesty I don't. In fact, my friends make a past time of watching me rage at videogames. Apparently it's more entertaining to watch me play than to actually play themselves. That says something about how bad I am when raging.
Because when I play a game I get totally immersed, every little thing can either make or break me. Even Flower, a supposedly "zen" game, made me so angry I threw my folding chair across the living room.
Flower.
I threw a chair.
I never hurt or break anything though......well, there was that one time with my old X-box....bless that poor system. I put that through more verbal and physical abuse than a child labourer in the industrial revolution.

Wow, just found this article, maybe they should post it in Call of Duty menus.

You get pissed off because that guy has killed you for the fifth time in a row even though you shot at him with your noob tube. Then join Rage Quitters Anonymous. Are proven 12 method will have you staying in games regardless of how many times you get kill by quote unquote bullshit.

Remember kids, Give a shit, Dont rage quit!

If you're the same group that is on Steam your main guys like to use admin powers to cheat. I've had two friends banned from your guy's servers for pointing out the fact that your leaders like to abuse admin powers while on your servers. So if you are the same group I'd suggest you take down your little advertisement of a post because the only way you guys know how to play well aginst better players is to cheat.

Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about. I just typed in rage quitting on google to see what came up. This was the first link so sorry if I misled you.

 

[Davrel]

I get angry, a lot...but I enjoy it. And the feeling of utterly destroying somebody in revenge for overtaking you/shooting you earlier is...overwhelmingly satisfying.

I think I need help.

I was playing Unreal Tournament at school with one of my buddies (our friend got it to run on the computers, and it was in one of our frees), and he would exploit a glitch which made him literally invisible to me, even though he had half his torso peeking out above his sniper perch. This allowed him to kill me over and over without me being able to see him. The only way for me to kill him without luck and guesswork was to run over the entire massive open field, climb up his tower and kill him conventionally, even though he was more skilled than me anyway.

After a while of him not listening to me when I tried to explain it was a glitch, I punched my keyboard, snapped a few keys and then I pushed his keyboard and mouse off the desk. Then I moved computers, and I never got caught.

Don't judge me, we payed huge school fees for a crappy education. I'd earnt a broken keyboard.

 

[RIOgreatescapist]

If people get angry when they fail at something why shouldn´t that something be videogames?

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Nope. I don't think I've ever been angry at a game, online or off, at least not since I was 10. Fallout 2 was a cruel mistress back then. However, I'm practically a monk online and off now.

ooooof course you are, for me I do get "raged" a bit but I don't like yell at people, I do get angry though but I try not to let people know

 

[Nemu]

I've never done anything stupid when irritated with a game.

At most, when I get p*ssed-off PVPing online, I get up and stomp around my house for a while, maybe go out to the barn and hit the heavy bag, but that's only in extreme cases. Console games have NEVER made me do more than cuss and stop playing for a few hours & maybe pace around a bit.

Beyond that, I've never really let a game get me so worked up that I feel the need to "HULK SMASH!".

 

[Angerwing]

Oh, and due to bullshit AI I've punched the floor a couple of times.

 

[Flames66]

It's very rare that I get angry while playing a game. I play games to relax and enjoy myself so, if I find myself getting angry, I generally just go and do something else.

I have heard I can make other people angry though by quitting when I am loosing. I don't quit because I am loosing, but because it is no longer fun.
