Well mainly online gaming. For some reason earlier, I was really badly spazzing out to losing a game on FIFA, dont do it that often, but it is becoming the norm for me to go extremely mardy and throw a hissy fit! :rolleyes:

But my brother does it aswell - he shouts the house down and starts swearing really badly and its really bad.

My question is, do you lot go into mega psycho mode when fustrated at games, or are me and me brother going to go out on a ranpage of rape and pillage if we lose 4 more games of COD:BO?
 
I use to do it but realised it wasn't actually the game annoying me, was other more personal issues manifesting whilst playing the game. Very hard to explain without going into detail but after sorting most of the issues out in my personal life I've noticed this less and less over the months.

I do this a lot, I blame it on Tony Hawk really, all started with his games.

:D

Tony Hawk's 2 and 3 are two of my favourite ever games but trying to collect the hidden tapes on some levels and getting S-K-A-T-E on the later THPS3 levels was rage inducing, I was only little as well. :D

But yeah I kinda get ragey if I lose too much on FIFA or CoD, usually ends up in me getting killed and then yelling "MOTHER******* BULL****".

I don't take it out on anyone else though. :p
 
May I suggest that you take a break from FIFA, or maybe gaming for a while.
Take a break and remember it's just a game and not worth raging over.
 
Games shouldn't make you mad. If they do, you can't be enjoying yourself.

It's the reason I gave up on Demons Souls. Put 8 or so hours in and only cleared first level. Was driving me mad, so quit it. Lifes stressful enough without games adding to it.

You must either be taking it far too seriously, or, as suggested above, you have other issues manifesting your rage in gaming.

Try playing something single player and sedate.
 
I dont know, its like anything you enjoy it when you are winning and hate it when you are losing.

Its not that you dont enjoy the game per se, its just that you are irritable for whatever reason and when you die, concede a goal, that irritation is manufesting itself as rage.
 
I only play one game competitively and very rarely do I make mistakes. When I do, I obviously get mad but more often just sink my head on the keyboard. Very rarely do I rage. Often if I do rage, it's at my team for making poor choices which get me killed.

Nearly all of my other games, Left 4 Dead etc are casual so I sit and chill with mates.
 
If i lose at any game i become infuriated. I know how to handle it though. For instance if i lose at fifa I calmly get up leave the house walk to the local park and punch a swan.........
 
We actually stopped being mates with a guy from uni over this. He used to throw his toys out of the pram so badly after Pro Evo that we eventually just stopped inviting him round.
 
i think my worst moment was throwing the controller out of my window,while playing Cod WAW for 3 hours on the same mission,the tunnels on veteran,thats all i need to say and people know what i am talking about.
 
I tend to sell games that get me even a bit cross. I've only got 350gs on CoD:MW but I'm not gonna play it again because it'll only wind me up.
 
I'm had to quit Grand Theft Auto IV because of this. I raged so bad I shocked the rest of my family, using the c word and everything, its lucky it was digital if it was a DVD I would have smashed it into tiny little pieces.

But I'm better now, honest.
