Do you get "Game Rage"

SecretMaster · 12-19-2003, 08:05 PM

A serious question. I can't possibly be the only one who experiences it (well, i could very well be the only one).

But what is Game Rage?
Game Rage is going pyscho, or not so pyscho when playing games. It is usually the result of frustration. Some symptoms of Game Rage are smashing the keyboard, punching monitor repeadtly, smashing the mouse, throwing books across the room, or just plain snapping and end up destroying the house in the process.

For me, when i get real into a game, and i keep dying, i go pyschotic. Same thing when it keeps crashing *cough* Morrowind *cough*.

I go into "In-Game Rage" say one of my fav. marines in Halo dies, I usually beat all of the aliens into a bloody pulp with the butt of my gun...

my brothers get this all the time, and believe it or not my mom. but with her it's more something is going screwy with the computer and she's too computer-illterate to know how to fix it. such as the cursor going wonky it the light is on a reflective surface.

What about swearing? I swear all the time when playing video games.

Hmm come to think of it there have been many occasions when I've sworn at the screen and smashed my fist on the desk but that's as far as it's gone and I've never damaged anything in "game-rage" so far

I've never gotten really mad due to a video game. If I die or crash the most I'll say is "bollocks" or "bag a shite," then just carry on with it.

I've never struck or thrown an object, but I've been know to string together obscenities in new and hitherfore unknown combinations.

I always have that. when I play I expect to win always and when sometimes things doesn't go acording to what I have expected I'll punch the computer monitor. This is the third time I have change computer monitor since the first two have smashed when I punch it and it fell on the floor.

I get it all the time because I am the worlds worst looser when I loose at a computer game the things I have had to replace are as followed:

A Playstation 2 Game Pad done while playing GTA3
Several PC Mice due to Baldurs Gate 2
A Webcam
A TV

Other then that I tend to grab and throw the nearest thing close to me which could be anything realy. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

All the time though it doesn't involve punching the monitor, I kick the case of my comp and now its got a big arse dent in it plus it vibrates sometimes.
And by the way, its LOSE not LOOSE if your speaking of failing at a game.
