Re: Do you rage?

I never rage over games

Many things would have been broken had I punched something every time I blackflagged

That was staged and was a tribute for TeRage

I learned real fast that scissor-switch keyboards Die Hard.
There's not much anger in MMOs, just frustration - which I deal with by *not* crying myself to sleep.

Re: Do you rage?

I'm similar to leonid. I don't wreck stuff. The most physical thing I might do is to press buttons harder or grip the controller harder. However, I could snap at someone if I get frustrated or if I was distracted. Even then, that's still quite rare.

Best example for me though was the Super Monkey Ball series on Gamecube. What a lip-biting game.

This game takes the cake for getting me pissed off, broke the down arrow off my laptop after lag made me miss a note at the end of what was going to be a AAA run. Now if i get pissed i just mash RATO or DP until I calm down lol

Hell, that's what I do when I get heated with this game. Just play hard ass songs till I can't remember what I'm angry at and then just stop playing.

Re: Do you rage?

i still can't conceive why anyone would voluntarily take up a pastime that makes them angry, ever. like christ that must be the most rewarding thing ever 99.9% of the time to justify causing such intense negative emotion

winning a tough cs match is incredibly rewarding


though some people just bathe in their misery chasing an empty dream of success

Re: Do you rage?

Fuck... I just get mad at any game I play when I fuck up or when something annoying happens over and over and over in a short amount of time. It's just the repetition of it all, I can get by having it happen a couple times, but when the same guy kills me 5 times in a row, or when I miss an arrow in the same spot 5 times in a row, or someone stuns me in a game repeatedly... I just lose it.

It's a downward spiral for me, so most of the time I know to just leave whatever I am doing and go do something else that doesn't require any sort of success or failure.

Re: Do you rage?

I used to rage at a lot of video games a couple years ago. Like Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360. I broke 2 controller and a headset due to rage.... It was that bad.

I also broke one keyboard from FFR because I got really pissed and punched the hell out of my keyboard.

After that I just get frustrated but I don't rage anymore.

Re: Do you rage?

I haven't legitimately raged for as long as I can remember, beyond a few quiet swears to myself when I get really frustrated. I just shrug it off afterwards, and never get angry.

Re: Do you rage?

I used to rage a lot with games. My dad was a poor role model in that respect, because he'd rage, and also still rages, when losing in any of the Mario Kart games. lol.

I've learned to shrug it off, though. The more you get angry at a game, the more you fail. I've found that humor can be a good tool when losing at a game. For example, when I end up losing due to a trap or other trial-and-error surprise, I might sing to myself "BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUUUTTTT ME OFFFF!"

Now, when my computer/internet starts acting up, that's a different story. Then I start angrily talking to it like it's alive and is purposely screwing with me.

Re: Do you rage?

I only rage when the game itself fucks up, costing me my hard work.
