At some point in everyone's gaming lives, they have gotten so frustrated, they unleash their anger in all sorts of ways, from throwing controllers to constantly swearing. So, what do you or did you previously do when you got mad at your game ?

I threw my controller at the wall, then picked it up and threw it again, then ran some water in the bathtub and threw the controller into the water. I was living with my parents and got banned from playing video games for three months and had to use my allowance to buy another controller. The game I was playing was an NCAA basketball game and I had been undefeated with the Campbell Fighting Camels made it to the final tournament game went to overtime and missed a layup that would have one the game, and I lost by one. I was angry!!!! I had worked too hard to get beat in OT in the title game, the part that hurt the most was that I was playing the Tarheels and I hate UNC. So that sent me over the edge. Reply #21.

You aren't an idiot, Tony, we all make typos all the time around here, including myself. By the way, I lived in Suffolk, Virginia for about a year and for part of that time I worked with a couple of guys from North Carolina who I really enjoyed knowing and working with. They were a couple of characters. Anyway, a lot of times when I get angry I will cuss like a sailor, but then I will try to meditate and think about nothing but pleasant things until it passes. Dwelling on the thing that made you angry is not good for you, and meditation is a very wonderful, magical thing. You will find over time that you will be able to control your emotions much better.

You're right about not dwelling on whatever has upset you but sometimes meditation isn't enough and you do need to express your anger. Reply #25. Nov 09 17, 4:07 PM |

I can't say I've ever got angry about a video game because it's only a game. I have got frustrated at times but I tend to stop playing when that happens too often. I only played games with my daughter, but she was always faster and more coordinated than me. Reply #26. Nov 28 17, 4:50 AM |

If I'm beaten at a game I tend to accept that the other person was better than me, unless they've been cheating. Perhaps that's a girly thing but I can understand how bad you must feel if you've just missed out winning having invested so much time and effort into it, as you say. I would never take it out on equipment though. Probably stuff myself with chocolate to feel better. Reply #27. Nov 28 17, 4:54 AM |

I get a bit angry with myself if I make stupid mistakes, like today I was playing a quiz question in a duel game and I knew the right answer but clicked on the wrong (similar) one by mistake in haste. It was the only answer I got wrong in the game and it caused me to lose it. If I feel particularly bad, I might whine a bit self-pityingly on the discussion thread for the game and hope for some (undeserved) sympathy in response. Reply #28. Nov 28 17, 5:05 AM |

I suppose reactions to losing games can depend on how much emotional investment you put into them and it can take a little time not to be so bothered by closely losing a big tournament. Giving yourself that time can help. That's enough from me. Reply #29. Nov 28 17, 5:18 AM |
