Title: How many rages a day from video games?
Post by: Wargasm on December 03, 2011, 08:26:00 PM
Rage definition: Any degree of anger spurred by actions in a video game that would otherwise not have happened. Lower degrees of rage range from yelling "Noob ass *****!" to grinding your teeth in anger when someone steals your kill. More serious degrees of rage range from throwing your computer at a wall for disobeying you or beating younger siblings for your own fails in game and can even include murder.

We all know that rage is pretty much inevitable when playing any competitive game. Please tell me how often you rage by voting in the poll, and then proceeding to list your degree of rage problems. Also know that this is on AVERAGE. Try to imagine how many times you actually rage in your normal day of playing urT.


* If it is serious enough, I may pat you on the back for your courage in facing your rage problems and then point you in the direction of a psychiatrist.

I'll go first to provide an example and encourage others to step forth and admit their rageness.


I rage probably 3-5 times a day, but most of the time it isn't too serious. The worst I've gotten is punching a wall or throwing a mouse, but I still consider that pretty bad. Most of the time it comes out in the form of bad sportsmanship in game or muttering cuss words out loud.

On days that I have my "man period", I can rage up to like 20 times and run around my living room like a 5 year old on fire and it can really turn me into quite a monster. One time I ate cereal in the morning and played urban terror and got so angry I chewed the living **** out of my cereal and splurged milk and crunchy pieces of banana oats all over my floor/desk. Immaturity ftl.

I am one clam fker

Reasons I rage:
1) disrespecting players on 1up servers
2) If i die more than 5 times in a row by a sniper
3) People that ask me to join 1up but have a tag in their name and are obvious trolls

That's why i alias in Zombie bomb to keep em away

Bwahaha, is there a pic in our 1up pic thread of you? I want a better mental image of you shaking mad LMAO.

I once scared my gf when she was sleeping with an angry string of curses in Korean and english but ended up regretting it ALOT when she rampaged for the next 30 minutes. Atleast both of our loved ones kind of help stop the raging huh? XD

I get hard on myself at practice, if I **** up (which should be read: WHEN I **** up).  But I rarely rage.  I am glad to see more calm mother fkers in here. :D

I play games to relax, if I am not relaxing, I am not playing games.

Does "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" count as a rage?
If so, I do it like 20 times a day :pp

If I get a 2:0 ratio I do ok.

But at practice I get pissed all the time. I will never be as good as any of you :(

It's crazy that the distribution is relatively even..even leaning to the more calm side. I guarantee that there is some correlation with age...but I am not a good example of that XD
