No broken contys, but a full throated FUCK can do cathartic miracles...

I think I get more pissed on Pop'n music with like all great/fever and 1 fucking good. I don't think I could smash my Pop'n ASC if I wanted to though.....

I usually swing my pad against the wall when I'm really pissed. I used to bite my pad as hard as I could before, but it hurts your teeth really bad so I stopped doing that.

I pull a Metal Slug on my TV. "Heavy machine gun!" *throws 7205843153 grenades* DEAD. Actually, I'm pretty quiet, and learn from mistakes.

I'd have to say a very light version of Tourette's Fantasia- namely a quick "Fuck" , "Shit", or sometimes "son of a bitch". Rarely, I'll give the screen a double bird salute.

If I'm just not doing so well at all on a certain day, it's a quick jab at the Power switch to turn it off.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

I'll usually say a hearty fuck you, flip off my tv, and go smoke a ciggarrate. I should start doing more constructive things like what Randorama mentions-referring to exercise.

I usually loudly call myself a stupid bastard (because I've invariably done something really stupid like fly into the only bullet onscreen). Then I load up an RPG and swear I'm done playing shmups because they're too hard and I'm rubbish at them.

Game Rage

Post by DEL »

I vent my fury.
I let it out.
I don't bottle it up.
In the arcade it lasts 5 seconds. 5 secs of growling, swearing & light punching of the screen. Then I'm fine.

To my credit, I've never smashed an arcade cab screen :D

My friends have though, in the past.

The best examples:-

1. CRIME FIGHTERS cab - player KAC. Crime Fighters is an old side scrolling beat'em up. It was a street gang theme and had a gay character in full Blue Oyster Bar gear who would grab you and drill your butt if you came too close. KAC was playing this in front of a crowd in Casino arcade. He got grabbed and sodomized by the gay character. KAC couldn't take it. The screen had to go.
S*M*A*S*H - fist through the screen
:lol:

2. SAGALA/DARIUS II huge cab - player KAC. The triple screen Sagala was a bitch to 1CC. In fact KAC and I never did it. One day I was watching KAC play it in Trocadero. For once he was having a good game - full silver shield, wave firepower etc. All of a sudden a meteorite whipped across the screen and destroyed him outright. The full silver shield didn't count for shit. GONE, wiped out.......KAC went quiet for a few seconds, contemplating the enormity of what had just happened....
S*M*A*S*H bang whallop, glass everywhere - THAT TRIPLE SCREEN WAS HUGE.

3. TRUXTON cab - player Mills -M-. (check the Truxton Hi-Sc thread for this classic).

That's what I do if I'm really pissed off...double bird accompanied by a "Mnah!"

I never throw controllers or break things, usually just curse at the TV or innocent bystanders. I'm a no-controller-throwing nazi, and have been known to kick people out of my house for it.

That reminds me, I broke my first controller ever the other day...a rev. A DS2. The early revisions are not very twist-friendly (they have a horrible internal design flaw), and it started giving me intermittent control during a Katamari game, while doing the boost move.

Last night my roommate and I were playing Gradius Gaiden when, after suddenly dying, he abruptly said 'shit on my face hole'. :shock:

I'd say he falls under the option 2 category. :lol:

In Arcade: growl, followed by punching control panel once

At Home: "the F**K?!" if it's something I normally play well at, otherwise it doesn't bother me too much.

I usually laugh, actually. Not big belly laughs, but it certainly doesn't make me angry if I'm doing really well and I get killed by something insignificant that I should've avoided without even thinking...

I don't have much of a competetive mentality or a "mean streak", so I'm never really bothered. I tend to just try again (from the beginning, of course - I'm not one of these two credit jokers :P).

You think that's bad? I actually bit my Saturn controller so hard it splintered and shattered in my mouth. I was playing Panzer Dragoon Zwei and i got 100% on every level except for the second to last. The one before the giant sea chicken boss. I was trying to get the original dragon from the first game. I wanted my old dragon back so bad and i almost had him. There's an enemy in that level that apppears on the radar for a split second behind you - RIGHT BEFORE THE LEVEL ENDS!!! There is almost no chance of destroying him. I got 100% on every level. EVERY LEVEL and then blink! Just like that. 99%. Fuck you Team Andromeda. I kill you.

Yeah - but i split the controller with naught but a seconds worth or pressure from my incisors. I had little shards of sega in my mouth after that and it tasted sweet. Like vengence.

I usually scream in TERROR: "Arrr!!!" just like I am going down in flame.

And then, said to myself : "Opps GAME OVER". Take a look at the clock, if there still have time, start over again.

If it's a game I'm new to, or a new level or boss of a game I've played many times before, I don't get mad at all... in fact I'm usually just humbled by it.

On the other hand, if I'm doing great, get a few levels into the game, and fuck up on some ridiculously easy part, a quick, loud "FUCK" will usually come out (much to the surprise/fear of former roommates). However, just as quickly as this anger hits me, it's gone. My girlfriend hates it...

However, if I keep messing up early on and have to restart over and over, the anger builds up, a more constant stream of mid-volume profanity starts coming out, until I reset about 5 games in a row, and then I let out a final "FUCK IT!", leave the room and do something else.

I used to chuck my NES controllers as a kid, but I haven't done that in a long, long time.

Same here, I don't do it now because I don't feel like spending extra cash on a controller ;)

NOTE: Even thought I threw the NES controller, and a few screws busted out, it still works to this day. Talk about nintendo power :shock:

Long ago I would toss my controller to the floor, cuss and walk away from the game. Now that I'm unemployed, I've stopped with the controller throwing.

Bad tempers run in my family, so the cussing has stayed, although my anger has somewhat lowered over the past few months. These days a "dammit" or an "aww fuck" is about all you'll hear from me. I've also been saying "dang" quite a bit since becoming a Napoleon Dynamite fan.


EDIT: fixed my crappy spelling...

When I get caught up in a stupid death moment, I can feel the veins in my temples twitching. Seriously. (Think "anime-style anger" with the vein popping out of your temple, and you have the right idea. >_<* ) Occasionally I let off a bit of profanity proportional to the stupidity/suddenness of the death, then take a deep breath, and carry on.

No point in getting too wound up about it. It'll only happen again, otherwise.

Mixed forms of rage here.

Sometimes after completely fucking myself over, I'll kinda just bite my tongue and turn off the console/press ESC on MAME to end the game. In the arcades, I either suicide my remaining lives if I'm completely screwed, or simply walk away from the machine. Very rarely do I either kick the cabinet or try to destroy something. I literally PUNTED my first PS2 across the room because it wouldn't read Gradius III + IV. Yeah...that fixed it all right. :B

I bap my arcade sticks off the table or bang on them sometimes.

But most of the time I either curse rather loudly (mix+match=win. SHITFUCK!) , or take it internally and just blame it on the fact that I'm an idiot. :D

Chose option 3, since that's basically how I get. Occasional controller-throwing, but not very often. ^^;;

R-Type is, and always has been, THE series to elicit the most vulgar swears from my mouth. (However, Astro Boy: Omega Factor DID manage to make me yell "FUCK!" so loud, my throat hurt for a while. x_X)And yet, I still love R-Type... R-Type just don't love me. :cry:
