What do you do when you rage?

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

I quit the game that I'm playing.

R-R-R-RAAAGEE QUIT


OT: i usually start cussing at the game/screen like crazy, i never throw my controller or physically abuse it, but i do squeeze the life out of it sometimes, wondering how illogical and absurd the game's AI is for doing such to me

 

[bassdrum]

I've shouted incoherent words and made some interesting sounds. I don't break anything, but I have punched more than a few pillows in my life.

Fallacious assumptions: Let's hear it for them.

I've been rendered angry or frustrated, but my reactions are generally quite mild compared to what I've seen so far in this thread. If a game bugs me, I turn it off and do something else.

 

[Arc_Light]

I play WIC, tier 3 fuel air bombs are surprisingly therapeutic....

 

[Pegghead]

I tend to not rage.

 

[Mister Benoit]

Uhh My job often makes me angry. Friday I took a 2 minute break to head outside and scream as loud as possible. Also Smashing 4$ key boards is pretty good also.

If it's anger that lasts a while though, i'd recommend going to the gym and working out until your super burnt out and doing it again and again in the following days. When your so tired you can't bother to think or be angry, good times.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

It begins slowly... some mumbled expletives... and then when I get angry enough I just let out a loud What the F*ck?! Then I usually try to reign myself back in because I know raging is silly, but sometimes you just can't help it. Once I threw my headset across the room while playing Gears of War 1 online. That's as violent as I've gotten.

 

[vector13578]

I normally swear as much as possible and maybe smack my mouse against the desk if its not doing what I tell it to. Then I quit before I get really pissed and get into the who cares mindset and start tk'ing(much more fun than dealing with retarded teammates who only care about their k/d ratio then the objective/laggers/hackers/dumb friendly AI/etc.).

 

[Uncreative]

Usually just grumble and yell incoherently for a little while.

 

[War Penguin]

I continuously curse until I realize what I'm angry about and start laughing my ass off. XD

 

[wwjdftw]

break shit

Pretty much. It's weird cause I always try to find something cheap. If I'm not too pissed pencil will work. Although I did once obliterate a PS2 controller.

Ive punched a few holes in the wall

I'd break my hand if I tried to do that in my house. It's got 50's construction methods behind it, which means it's plaster and I'd hurt myself pretty good.

I hear that. Man I bled a bit after I punched one of my walls. Then I had to clean blood up which is kind of hard.

I quit the game that I'm playing.

The OP didn't say it had to be game induced. Although San Andreas's RC missions were what led to the PS2 controller getting slammed. That thing exploded.

I've had to clean up a little blood before as well. Not to mention I crushed a PS3 controller with my bare hands...

 

[Slash12]

Depending on the degree of rage, I usually freak out and begin swearing really loudly and calling out the player that is killing me, even though he can't hear me. This is usually followed by exiting the game.

As a side note, the most physical violence that I ever show is hitting a pillow or couch, and thats really rare. Most of my rage is just verbal.

 

[DkLnBr]

threaten my computer with physical violence.

This. Unless its a person, then i just get really quiet

 

[Exocet]

I harness the RAGE! and put it into the game,sometimes resulting in increase in skills.
There is a reason some guy in a game dubbed me "rage god".

Other times I threaten my computer.I found it you do so much better by telling your PC/console/any electronic device you'll rip its processor out if it doesn't do EXACTLY what you do.

 

[troth]

Cut things.(Not myself).

 

[AvsJoe]

Light rage: suppress it.
Normal rage: suppress it.
Crispy rage: hit a wall, curse and mutter under breath, suppress it.
Extra-Crispy rage: black out and apparently attack everyone in the general vicinity. So I'm told.

 

[Kurokami]

I'm sure this has been done before,but what do you do when you (if you do)rage? I shove a pillow into my face and scream or tell the PC to eat my balls,but whatever you do when you rage,post it,and we'll all share some great drinking stories

I stop whatever's provoking the rage, such as talking to my older brother, and trivialize my reasons for being angry. As a consequence however I do occasionally have small flashes of anger when appropriate.

 

[Altaries]

Light rage: suppress it.
Normal rage: suppress it.
Crispy rage: hit a wall, curse and mutter under breath, suppress it.
Extra-Crispy rage: black out and apparently attack everyone in the general vicinity. So I'm told.

Yeah. I told you that. You removed my kneecaps. Quite violently,I might add.

 

[Skooterz]

I work out, typically. It's why I've bulked up a bit the last year or so... despite not wanting to... I should cut down on the duration of my rage-outs.

 

[VinnyKings]

break shit

Yeah Just pretty much go GoW and smash shit if its really that bad though I've never really been that mad that I had to smash shit around except when my T.V died and I smashed it cuz it was broken and I was having a shitty day.
