Honestly you sound like you need to pull your head out ya ass. But I'm starting to ramble aren't I?WOPR said:
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.

Beacose you feel bad than you loose and get pissed.
I nearly never let it go that far I rather stop playing and do something else or punsh a pillow and play a other game.
(only get frustrated on MP)
I just read your Edit.
Fellow, your friends have problems. I mean, most gamers will RAGE when they do badly or when they think the game is being unfair, or even when they lose to another friend-- but I think your friends literally need anger management therapy. Seriously, think about talking to their parents.

Well, for my end of the world, I have a passal of games I probably won't be playing again due to the "frustration vs. fun" quotient. If the game is more frustrating than it is fun to play, I tend to put it down and try something else. I want a challenge, yes, but it's a GAME, not a frickin' job. If I have to work for days on end at getting past one puzzle or something, then it's pretty likely I'm not having so much fun as I'm working, and work is a four letter word in my off-time.
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:
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!
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:
Not compared to my friends; because I hardly ever play against them (because they won't play ageinst me)SilentBobsThoughts said:
when I say "can't find a challenge" I mean I have to play single player games and add my own stuff to make it hard.
and it really IS annoying for me.
Now you can continue to argue this is you want; but bottom line is. I hate being good at games because no one will play with me and single player games are boring.
...and I wouldn't really say it's "gone to my head" because that would imply that I'm cocky and think I'm some god. What I think is that I'm good at memorizing patterns and I can do some impressive things easily. And I won't get cocky because Scorpion can beat me in KI (met him at school) if I do; and I won't think I'm a god until I can beat Sharklar in Beat Hazard (met him online- he was the top of the high score table)
Well good for you, you apparently have more skill than most gamers, according to your not-very humble posts ('God-like... really??).WOPR said:
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.
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:
**WOPR HAS JOINED TEAM RED**
Team Blu: FRICK! EVERYONE GO ENGIE/PYRO!
...yeah I'm almost always scout or spy
I will say that snipers kill me a little TOO often; so ya got me there
and I never said "hey look I'm god-like!"
I said "hey everyone here calls me a gaming god"
...on that note of godlike
(If you don't know 25+ kills in one life grants you the title "GOD-LIKE")
Best answer on the thread. Thank you.Soylent Bacon said:
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:
Nerd rage has two flavors.
Healthy and Unhealthy.
Healthy nerd rage is fun of competition. Imagine Halo. Screaming at your dead enemy's corpse, teabagging them, laughing at them in the lobby. Imagine L4D, votekicking the 4th terrible teammate over and over, teamkilling them, and harassing them. It's all "in the moment" stuff that makes the game funner and more real.
Unhealthy nerd rage is violent tendencies acted out influenced by video games. Those people need counseling, and possible need to see a therapist.

yeah... sorry if I'm coming across as boastful; and yeah that's my happy picture from when I was younger!MiracleOfSound said:
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.
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:
I don't need to punch them- I have a bat for thatMiracleOfSound said:
but yeah on the occasion I do lose (fighting my friend scorpion in KI/MK/MvC2)
or Cory in DBZ:BT3
I don't get mad- I say good game, shake their hand, then get pumped up for the rematch
EDIT: Scorpion is the EXACT same way; he's not as obsessively good as I am, but is very challenging in multiplayer games (some good TF2 matches there)
