44 Comments

You see I love video games but sometimes they make me very mad even to the point where my head hurts like hell, my nose bleeds, and break stuff. To be honest I have been trying not to break stuff & just hold in my anger but that just makes my head hurts worse. This Mostly Happen When I play MW3 I am wat you would call a good player my K/D is good my W/L is ok my Accuracy is average. But it seems every time I play the game online I manage to get extremely angry YET IME A GOOD PLAYER. Is this normal ?

      I fucking hate that thing. Everytime i'm about to beat it, it pulls a new move out of it's ass. So I just don't play arcade anymore. Are you getting tekken tag 2 though?

        Azazel is the cheapest boss ever devised and totally random too.

        I might get Tekken tag 2. I tend to wait till games get to a reasonable price before getting them. Typically around £15. So maybe around winter time. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has just come down enough for me to buy.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Halo 2 Legendary. I did finish it, but many a fine Xbox controller was hurled and sacrificed for the Cause.

      lol I have been trying my best to not break anything but holding in my anger like that does make my head hurt I try to hold everything in because the walls in my house are thing & I don't want any unwanted attention. I would say that only competitive multiplayer games piss me off.

    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?

    I got so MAD at a Driving game that I destroyed the disc and the case it came in and Mailed it back the company with a Angery letter telling that they should have made the game this way and that way.

    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.

    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 =/

    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.

Lol but later I realise its a silly video game haha.

    This used to happen to me quite a bit when I was younger but not so much anymore. I once broke a Gameboy because I couldn't defeat Blane on Pokemon.

    I eventually got him. Luckily, my Dad was a tech dude and loved getting the newest gadget and I happened to break my gameboy slightly before Christmas so he got me the Gameboy SP. Still my favorite system. Very portable and very simple.

      Oh man, the Gameboy SP is so great. I can't tell you how much of an improvement I think it is compared to the Gameboy Advance. Good times on my SP. I think my fondest memory was owning Wattson's butt with Marshtomp on my Sapphire version... ah, those were good times :)

    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.

    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.
