Have you been trying to beat Azazel again in Tekken 6...?

Game rage. Normal. I once rage quitted so bad that I took the game out of the PS3, drove down to JB Hi Fi and sold it.

Computing in general can piss you off especially when you do something and it works fine as soon as you try to show someone else it goes wrong

Yeah, I get so mad at that damn game too. Im always screaming "AHH YOU FUCKIN FAGGOT" when I die, and "SUCK IT" when I kill some one that my neighbors probably think Im having angry homosexual orgies or something. Stupid game.

To the OP: What's your Class Setup (weapons, perks, streaks etc)? And if you use more than one Classes, what is the weapon (primary) that you use more often? Also can you provide me info on your NAT Type and your DSL connection (wired or wireless)? In the Main Menu of the Multiplayer it shoud read: NAT Type: (open/moderate/strict)... which one is yours?

Nose bleeds? Damn. You might want some one to look at that. Sometimes I get pissed with video games but never to the point of severe headaches.

When I get mad while playing a game the first thing that happens is controller abuse and then the throwing game. My brother knows to hide when I'm playing a game and getting mad because I end up throwing it any direction. (it hit him once)

Yeah, I guess it's known as Angry Birds for a reason.

I get very angry but I don't brake stuff,I'm good at managing my anger,I just close the game and play another time

I rarely get mad about anything, but games... that's a different story. I think it's because I put so much effort into them that I expect a positive outcome (read: not getting my ass kicked or losing to some disproportionately difficult enemy), and when I fail I get frustrated.

I think though that if you become violent and/or physically ill, it's probably best if when you start getting mad, you take a quick break for 15 minutes or so and relax. Plus it'll give you some time to think about what you might be doing wrong in the game.

I've gotten really mad over video games. I don't think I've ever broken anything, but I had raised my voice and cursed.

I had a friend that was playing God of War on the PSP and he got so upset that I'm surprised he black out.

It's normal. Sometimes games are really frustrating, especially if the controls don't work or if theres a time limit. However, it's not normal that your nose bleeds. You should get that checked out and try to play something relaxing.

This happnes to me when im playing fifa online because sometimes the stupidest things happen. Then I go crazy and feel like theres an unearthly force against me. 3 times in a row I was winning and my opponent ties the game in the 90th minute!!. Lol but later I realise its a silly video game haha.

I've gotten pissed off when playing games. I start yelling at the character I'm playing as or sometimes I just scream in frustration. I've never broken stuff though.

Yesterday, I punched out a window over Yahoo Answers and pro-nt conspiracy theorist posting her murder fantasies.

Apart from the nose bleeds, this is normal.

I had a bad session today. UFC 3's servers kept fucking up, then I went of Fifa12 and I lost to two guys using negative tactics. MW3 was the worst though, I hate it when I'm playing well defending or attacking objectives, and everyone else on my team sucks & we end up losing =/

You don't wanna see me rage on MW3 seriously... the thing is I'm actually not that good at video games in general and really not FPS's =P

Why are you even wasting your time on MW3? the game sucks! I wonder why you are spending your time on horrible FPS like Call of Duty over some quality shooting games.

Update I haven't had a nosebleed many times to clarify to you all maybe 3 or 4 times but thats it.

I've screamed at the tv because I got so angry at the game.

I usually beat the SHIT out of pinball machines.
