Agression from online Gaming?

[Cliotoby]

I stopped playing COD4 or 5 or whatever it is were on now, about 2 months ago, simply due to the fact that i became aggressive towards my friends and family. Simple questions or requests became a difficult chore.

I feel far better and happier within myself now.

Dpoes anyone else have this problem?

 

[mace¬]

lol, gamer rage.

Is this real? How do you mean aggressive? How many hours were you playing? You aren't going to shoot up a local school at some point are you?

 

[stuart87]

I was watching supernanny the other day (cos there was f**k all else on)
and there was a lad on it who played upto 80 hours on some sh*t PC game. He had a seizure and his head fell in his tea hahaha.

I get gamer rage with c*nts who quit a game of FIFA right as the game has ended

 

[Moz168]

I remember getting angry at Mario on N64 when I was 9. Thats when I gave up consoles.

 

[Coby.]

I'm think the OP must've just been really crap at it as I play a fair amount and get no rage at all.

Did it actually fall off?

The only way you'll get this out of your system is to play 24/7 and buy a gun and some swords.

 

[Alastair.]

what would you say is excessive online gaming, i probly do around 2 hours a night, dont really get stressed unless my cat jumps on me whilst playing.

 

[treemanx]

I have this problem and I'm embarrased of some of the stuff I have done out of anger/annoyance from COD.

 

[The Ironist]

Definitely a sufferer of gamer rage. But only while on games.

Usually consists of:
Are you a fecking r****d?
You're a fecking r****d
Were you dropped on you're head as a baby?
You'd actually be more useful if you quit.
Etc

 

[Bodge!]

I just scream at my team mates.

Normally a group of us all go on in one group, everyone gives each other some abuse.

I dont go launching my controller at the tv or anything like that

 

[Scott™]

Haha I get gamer rage. The foul words that come out my mouth is unreal.... Then the misses hits me and whips me back into shape. I never feel the need to punch some one though lol.

 

[Darren S]

I only do when it's clearly bollox what's happening on screen. A few harsh expletives and five seconds later, I'm fine again.

Makes me laugh when non-gamers call you sad/pathetic/grow-up etc, then they literally want to smash your phone to bits after 30secs of Peggle or Angry Birds.

Pot....kettle....black?

I rang up Plusnet once and threatened to drive to Sheffield and kill everything that moved because my connection dropped and wouldn't come back on in the middle of a raid.

I often scream at randoms in PUG's if they're acting like noobs.

You would have a job on because Northerners are 'ard.

I rage quit at Fifa last night.

Then evoked a royal rumble with my mate when I gave him a dead leg because I'd conceded in said game.

I had to stop playing MW2 after 6 prestige's because I got headaches from the constant gunfire and explosions I heard most days.

I did get rage and went through a few controllers but thats gaming. I got far too into it.

I've broken a couple over various consoles. Any remember that helicopter mission on GTA Vice City? I hated that.

Wireless ones make it even worse because there's no cable to stop them. Back in my old xbox/pro evo 4 days I used to get proper stroppy but the hefty controllers would damage things and I couldn't afford to replace them. So in an effort to stop myself, I would wrap the cable around my leg, so if I threw it, it just bounced into my shin. You soon stop doing it after that

I lost track of the whole console thing after my gamecube. I do remember playing lots and lots of GTA3 day in day out though, I'd walk to school and be paranoid about cars mounting the pavement and running me over, did wierd s**t to me.

My brother now spends every waking minute on call of duty talking to himself. Pisses me off seeing him sat there getting fat, doing f*ck all, anytime I walk in the house.

Kick his ass!

And it will only get worse come 9-11-10......................

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Is this real? People get wound up by it?

I just turn it off, i never really play it longer (cod) more than 40 minutes 3-4 times a week, i feel it helps me relax more than get up tight

Although i do swear alot at it, but i often laugh when i cant melee the other player quick enough and it turns into a ball room waltz with knives lol

Whats happening then?

...and I'll go and kick him now, saying that people on the internet told me to, blame them.

 

[Marc.]

I used to play WoW obsessively, raiding 6 nights out of 7. I'd be tired, and stroppy - my GF would get so pissed off. Family got it in the neck, hated working etc. Now I've quit playing, it's gone.

 

[kev182cup]

every1 rage quits. lag is my biggest gripe, winds me up cos im so competitive but doesnt effect my life in anyway.

 

[kerry-w]

Always pisses me off, ive given up on it now, get into a game on MW2 after good 5mins of waiting for the s**t connection to work, then get some campers everywhere being fags. Learnt to just quit completely now, not worth the £100's ive spent replacing smashed up ps3 controllers

 

[kev182cup]

having some rage right now kerry? lol

 

[Harpham]

Lol I do get mild tourettes when playing COD...

I never play it for more than an hour at the very most, so never get chance to get some proper roid rage on it

 

[PMac]

If my mum ever interrupts me whilst I'm on a mega kill streak she gets put in a head lock and might even be suplexed.

 

[iain187]

i sit about arms length from my desk, i usually just hit it when i do something stupid on fifa.

 

[Will.]

I shout when my controller doesn't work...although it's my fault for spilling beer on it.

 

[Zorr]

hmm I get relaxed from online gaming. Coming home from work pissed as fok - 1h of playing couple of head shots and everything is great again.

 

[VeinAST]

I'd say being better at a game stops rage. I get massive rages. Broken about 3 360 controllers, 2 TV remotees, 3 or 4 PS2 controllers in my time... My wireless cocking up does give me time to destress though.

 

[UncleGrumpy]

Born in'tuddersfield and live in that Bratfud, that makes me double hard apparently

I had a spell in the sarf eeeeest - was full of pansies that drank white wine and thought mens bottoms were designed to be penetrated.

I wouldn't even DREAM of playing online via wireless - cables FTW! And that goes for both controllers and the internet connection.

It is weird how certain things bug me online. I can get totally owned (like 6/13 K/D just on BC2 now) and not be bothered. But at other times, I can be on 18/1 or something daft and be getting a bit worked up - lol. Like I said before, just when pure bollox onscreen happens is the key trigger for me. Burst after burst at someone who quickly turns and fire one bullet from a pistol and you die - that kind of crap.

I also get annoyed at "OWNED" "Piss easy" "N00bs" comments at the end of the game - even ones from my own team. It's just overtly sad in a childish way. Grow up, FFS.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
