How extremely sad of me; I love surveys. Here goes.
1. Age: 15
2. Gender: Female
3. How often do you play videogames?: Hmm abouuut...15 hours a week, max
4. What genres?: I play every genre except shooters and simulation.
5. Have games ever made you angry when playing them? (ex. Rage quit, swearing) Yes, definitely. I swear a lot, rage quit alot, sometimes even smash the games. Ah well!
6. Have games ever made you physically violent when playing them? (ex. harming the controller) Yep.
7. Have games ever made you angry when not playing them? (ex. thinking about them affected your actions) Only in terms of me being pissed off and saying what's annoying me about the game, I don't get that worked up though!
8. Have games ever made you physically violent when not playing them? (ex. thinking of them affected your actions) Nope
9. How often do you engage in violent behavior? Violent behaviour, erm...well I only get worked up about a game when I'm on my own. If anyone else is with me, I won't really mind if I fail at the game, I'm pretty laid back when other people are with me. I'm not a violent person, I swear!
