Your Levels of Rage (Games)

[Hagan]

We all get pissed off at some point playing various kinds of game, for various reasons in many scenarios.
Your rage may or may not start simple, but at what point do you realise that it'd be safer to just switch to another game?

I know there's a thread about controlling rage, but how does yours build up; maybe you're cool as a cucumber or hot like a potato.

My level(s):

Mental annoyance.
Mental annoyance + heavy breathing
Mental annoyance + audible complaints
Mental annoyance + loud complaints
Loud complaints
Loud complaints + curse word
Loud complaints + curse word + heavily-annoyed groan (audible)
Loud curse words
Loud curse words + throwing controller onto bed or dropping it onto table hard enough that its battery separates from device.

Usually in that order for me, but, as per the thread - only when I rage.

Lemme us know, down below!

Mental annoyance + audible complaints

I'm not a loud person hence the above. And only happens when something is considered BS, while playing online.

 

[Cranky]

Loud complaints + curse word + heavily-annoyed groan (audible) .

But it is most of the times due to the lack of skill of random teamys in fps games. In other games and single player games im much better

If it's irritating me then i just turn it off. Problem solved.

 

[murfle]

Ya, I rage loud and violently... I need to utilize my punching bag more often. Maybe I should relocate it to my living room

I rarely get upset - I take it for what it is: A fun way to spend my time. So when it stops being fun, I waste my time and move on to what I find fun.

Oh, yes. I did get annoyed before playing online, but more because of Internet problems or technical challenges than being owned the whole time. I do not care loosing or being killed every 5 sec by the same person. I get annoyed when I really want to have fun and because I have crap Internet connection or some Steam game that just have an issue and won't open, it is not possible.

It seldom goes verbal or physical. Generally, I just accept and move on.

swearing is about as bad as I get. Then I go out and have a smoke.

I see we're back to Hagan again...

 

[Donisia]

I curse louder as i get angrier, have only ever hit a table with my fist once really... Gun game in COD while at a lan... people kept stabbing me on purpose...

 

[Edelweiss]

Lol I never get audible... All the swearing happens in my head and gets said under my breath.. If it is frustrating I never touch that game again lol I'm looking at you Dark Souls!

i normally play online games, so I get a little pissed off when team mate have no clue what to do, but that about as bad as it gets for me, swearing at some stranger online doesn't make sense to me lol
