Only if I play 3D shooter. Once I have beaten the damn SOB, I usually keeps on pumping lead onto the dead body. Grr... WHO IS THE TOUGH GUY NOW!!!!
*Ahem* Please excuse the sudden burst of anger.

Never. I've never been someone who takes my frustration by trying to break things. What if I did?! I'd have to replace them . Occasionally if there's a stupid annoying bug or the game freezes or I realise I've lost a crucial item I'll swear or whatnot, though quietly. When I repeatedly die I usually just leave (sometimes never to return - still haven't done the final BG1 battle yet [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ).

I think the monster here is Windows Windows ME is *definitely* a monster, seeing as it is close to literally ---ing up my computer, as it has a lockdown every 20 minutes or so. Usually, I try not to move in an irrational manner when my computer catches my attention, but ME is really asking for it! Even today I was very close to punching my computer's screen, when the game got unnaturally slow at some point, while I was playing Warcraft III. I had to wait about 20 seconds after moving the location of my in-game screen, or moving my units, making the game impossible to play. 'Game Rage' is quite a natural thing. Definitely not healthy, though [ 12-20-2003, 04:12 PM: Message edited by: uss ] |

I'd have to agree with super monkey ball, it takes me so long to get up to a level then you loose alot and [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] gameover! [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img] . Another game rage that happened to me was my biggest mistake buying the sims for gamecube. I needed a bigger memory card to save it! so then a had to spend another $30 why didn't they do the same thing animal crossing did? And it didn't take me long to get bored of the sims. Apollo

There are definitely times when I get totally steaming, though I just take it out on a plastic bottle of coke which I repeatadly smash into the ceiling till it breaks. Very satisfying, and doesn't cost me hundreds of dollars to replace

I get it so much it's not even funny. I've broken keyboards, mice, screens. Yes I've punched a hole in my monitor once (but it wasn't my fault! Mario just wouldn't fly!) I've also almost broken some of my computers by kicking them and making them slide into the wall.
This one time I got so mad at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters (SNES) that I lost all control and I'm pretty sure I went temporarily insane. DAMN YOU, RAPH!!!! Okay, well... maybe I should learn some breathing exercises.
