Why the rage, WHY THE RAGE *smashes keyboard FPS Doug style*! Just kidding, but in all seriousness unless you're a cold emotionless robot nobody, I repeat, NOBODY goes through a career in gaming without experiencing the slightest iota of anger, even when they'd like to think that they're beyond that. I wih, I truly wish that I could say most games are just games and meant for fun, but that ain't the case. Most people complain that big RPG's and multiplayer shooters are the new thing which has killed what has always been a blemishless beacon of calm, serenity and fun, these people need to get their head out of their backside and face up to the fact that this industry was built upon the blood, tears and aggravation of gamers of all ages, admittedly it varies from person to person (i.e you don't want to see me when I'm on my game at a pinball machine) but when you're there, faced with that challenge, points, princesses...paddle extensions on the line no matter how virtual it may seem no-one short of a Buddhist monk is going to truly keep their cool when faced with what is essentially a goal which needs completing lest you never get the high score or see the ending or just make a waste of your dosh.
I'm sure it would be marvellous being able to sit around in circles playig eufloria and beading each others hair but where's the real fun when there's no sense of danger or challenge to lift a game from just another aspect of life to experiencing another life? From what I've seen of your posts your either some star-child of the gaming world forged from the blood of the mightiest Scandinavian basement-dwelling game-hardliners or you mostly stick to games that are specifically designed not to ellicit any real sense of objective, nothing wrong with that, try playing this without giving it up, without stopping to read walkthroughs and you'll see what I'm trying to get at. And pleae, for the love of God don't say "They're just games", if that's the case then films are just silent little two-minute amusements they play in the twon's hall from time to time and books are glorified fortune cookie paper.

I don't exactly rage. People piss me off, sure, but THEY'RE NOT WORTH IT!
I kinda just groan and think to myself "So, you're why god invented cancer? Fair enough.".

Don't suppose you'd like to buy a copy of Naughty Bear? That was a solid hour of my life I'll never have back.halo3rulzer said:

Speakers, keybord, mouse, joypad, screen, the only thing im yet to destroy is the laptop or the 360. I once impaled a 360 joypad with a screwdriver in pure wrath. Im in no way proud of my behaviour, and i would NEVER do it to other people`s stuff. And i don´t bother them with my issues either. I rage in silence.
