Simple, Adrenaline.
and I still don't really get it- what about a game could trigger adrenaline and/or make someone mad...
I just don't get it honestly...
then again I am referred to as a "gaming GOD" and no one ever really plays with me and when they do they get mad and break my stuff and...
I'm starting to ramble aren't I?
WOPR said:alright in short-
Why do people rage about games or get mad and break things?
I mean seriously they're JUST GAMES, they have no value or impact on the real world (you know what I mean)and they're supposed to be fun... so why do some people get so mad over them that they act so poorly that 2 year olds say "grow up" I mean like, why do people get so mad about a GAAAAAAAAAAAAME that they'll break things for example.
anyone care to fill me in; because I'm starting to feel like the only mature gamer I know (...that I really KNOW; yeah I'm surrounded by ragers)
EDIT: People keep saying it's NOT immature to get frustrated; so allow me to reiterate.
It's not getting mad that I find horribly immature (although personally I find it a little childish; just a little) it's breaking things, letting loose and non-stop string of insults, yelling at the top of your lungs at the person RIGHT next to you, claiming the game sucks with no reason to say so (minus the fact that you lost at it) and just being a poor-sport over all; instead of saying like "Good game" and getting a handshake, I get "YOU CHEATED YOU DICK!" followed by one of my controllers being thrown out my window. (which for the record, I doubt killing someone in a racing game ABOUT KILLING OTHER RACERS is "cheating" ...it was F-Zero GX)

1) I'm referred to as "a gaming god" I didn't bring the title upon myself and I absolutely HATE it because it's pretty much a big neon sign that says "DON'T PLAY WITH ME I WILL PWN YOU" which leads to things getting really boring really fast because I have no one at all to play games with!SilentBobsThoughts said:Honestly you sound like you need to pull your head out ya ass.

O.T. Get a new friend to game with. This one sounds a little too wild your your tastes. Oh, and close the window if you don't want stuff flying out of it.
To say you hate it after reading a few of your responces it does genuinely sound likes its gone to your head. The whole 'It's hard to find a challenge bollocks' I think we got that your good at gaming when compared to your friends the first time you gloated.WOPR said:1) I'm referred to as "a gaming god" I didn't bring the title upon myself and I absolutely HATE it because it's pretty much a big neon sign that says "DON'T PLAY WITH ME I WILL PWN YOU" which leads to things getting really boring really fast because I have no one at all to play games with!
2) ...they won't leave me alone! They won't play games with me but guess who's the first person they call when they need something unlocked in 10 seconds?
3) ...the window was closed... don't think about that one too long... freaking windows are expensive!
Not compared to my friends; because I hardly ever play against them (because they won't play ageinst me)SilentBobsThoughts said:To say you hate it after reading a few of your responces it does genuinely sound likes its gone to your head.

Well good for you, you apparently have more skill than most gamers, according to your not-very humble posts ('God-like... really??).WOPR said:Yes but BREAKING THINGS?! no wait
BREAKING OTHERS POSSESSIONS?!
...also if you'll note I've stated that I don't get "angry" I get "excited" because a challenge in a game is so freaking rare for me!

I do fight clans (in TF2 because I hate console shooters for the most part) and well... let me put their response this way- and no I'm not joking it's pretty dang funnyMiracleOfSound said:Well good for you, you apparently have more skill than most gamers, according to your not-very humble posts ('God-like... really??).WOPR said:Yes but BREAKING THINGS?! no wait

But most people find plenty of challenge in gaming. If you think you're really that good then go play some Gamebattles matches against organised clans, you'll then see how 'god like' you're skills really are.
Lol, yeah kinda... well 3 of them do; the rest aren't that bad!Semudara said:WOPR, I mean it. Your description of your friends' behavior is like a caricature.
Your friends NEED HELP. They are NOT WELL.
Best answer on the thread. Thank you.Soylent Bacon said:It's an emotional response. There is no logic to emotional responses.
I really, really don't care. Youtube is exploding at the seams with videos of people getting amazing scores in games. Good for you for being skilled but really, you are coming across as quite boastful.WOPR said:(If you don't know 25+ kills in one life grants you the title "GOD-LIKE")
yeah... sorry if I'm coming across as boastful; and yeah that's my happy picture from when I was younger!MiracleOfSound said:Best answer on the thread. Thank you.Soylent Bacon said:It's an emotional response. There is no logic to emotional responses.

Well I think the reason you don't rage is because you're the one winning... if you weren't good at it then you might have a reason to get frustrated. Be empathetic towards your buddies, but if they break your shit over it then just punch them.WOPR said:yeah... sorry if I'm coming across as boastful; and yeah that's my happy picture from when I was younger!
either way I think this convo is done more or less
I think I was just venting because I'm tired of idiot dick-weeds breaking MY STUFF because they can't handle MY GAMES.
