Amazingly bad anger problems due to gaming

Robert1986 · 23 Apr 2011 at 10:28

If you're not a sore loser then you're aren't competitive.

Look at pro atheletes when they lose... everyone rages in a competitive contest. Maybe doing it games isn't alittle childish but its so easy to lose yourself in the moment.

I only get mad at C:SS these days when the hit reg goes out the window and I get killed round the corner due to lag.

Aren't you cool.

Nice relevant post there, take you all day to think of some thing that stupid?
I'm guessing it comes naturally.

You can get annoyed in pretty much any hobby. So your argument falls flat on its face.

There is no argument, I never said you can't get mad at any hobby, I said it was my opinion. :rolleyes:

But if you can and do like you say, then you should change hobby because you are obviously not very good at it, or at the very least (in this case) change the game you are playing.
So your argument falls flat on its face.

COD usually makes me rage , its those BS lag kills or the blatant BS lies the killcam shows

you can get mad at any hobby and still be good at it , just because you get mad does not mean you are not good at it , premier league footballers get mad there not exactly bad at football!

As relevant as you assuming that everyone who gets annoyed with games are either bad or a sore loser. Oh and also how everyone who disagrees is an addict in denial.

Post something stupid, get something stupid back.

Those that get mad at games should change hobby to be quite honest, it can only mean you are a sore loser or just not very good.

Before I get flamed by the addicts in denial, this of course is just my personal opinion.

If you're not annoyed at losing then you probably don't care enough, or you're so bad that you never expect to win anyway. Oh and nice little dig calling people addicts just because they actually care if they win or lose.

I haven't raged for about 2 years but tonight I did. It's not the game(s) it's the connection on consoles with the P2P management going on with virgin media. Not amused at all!

YAAAAAYYYY....join the rage club...my anger got worse when I realised it wasnt the Ea servers for BC2, but VM screwing up my connection.....

But to win or lose on a game is meaningless. It only matters to YOU, and the amount that it matters surely only depends on how addicted you are?

Sure i cant stand to lose when i play COH, thats because it has a ranked leaderboard, the game could go on for an hour of trauma of course you want to win. Do i break things or bash my head against something if i lose? No, because that would be retarded.

I used to rage a while back, but I've mellowed out now. COD was the prime example, I tend not to play it unless I'm doing split screen with friends. I generally only play MP games when they have some sort of co op mode, like Firefight or Zombies now rather than playing against real people.

I think I was trying too hard to be the best I could be, but really, there's always someone better. It's just not worth the effort.

Of course logic might not apply to yourself as you seem more batty than a cave housing batman, batfink and 1000's of bats.

But why else would you rage, as it doesnt really help nor is it healthy!

if someone kills me in cod i normally make it my number one task to hunt him down first!

especially if its a sniper as i then creep up on them and knife them in the back , my rage quickly goes then

You don't have to be addicted to something to be competitive and to take a bit of pride in your performance. Plus sometimes people just get caught up in the heat of a moment. And I'm not batty!

Wait are we using the word batty as in gay, or batty as in crazy? Because I'm neither.

The Running Man · 23 Apr 2011 at 12:32

Not a 'batty boy', just crazy. So, im not saying you cant take pride in your performance but that doesnt mean that you go into a physically abusive state when something goes against you.

To me its a sign that you cannot control your own psyche, and it manifests itself as a physical outburst.

builder22 · 23 Apr 2011 at 12:44

it's just passion, like someone said, footballers get angry when they don't get a penalty or whatever
tennis players get angry if they don't get a decision, end up smashing their rackets off the ground

Who said anything about being physical? When I'm getting my ass handed to me on Black Ops or Fifa I'll probably shout a few things at the TV, I'm never physically abusive to anybody around me in the real world, ever.

Are you seriously trying to imply that Killswitch is The Incredible Hulk?
