The only time i raged i just smashed my keyboard once with my fists, (keyboard luckily survived) then turned to scream at the bastards who angered me, and then i just went back to normal, I tend to not get angry very ofter but when it happens i usually just shout and get it out of my system, and them i go back to normal

I become loudly sarcastic and start criticizing developers (usually) only if I find a mechanic or implementation frustrating. When I rage really hard, my keyboard takes punishment - it still works though. That doesn't happen often.
I also have reserved rage: doing a section multiple times over - not complaining - then leave if I feel it's BS and return later when I'm chilled and thinking clearly.

I complain a lot, and I mean a lot. But only really with PVP type games and especially FPS games. At the moment the game that fills me with befuddlement is Black Ops 3. It causes me to question developers and gamer's lifestyle choices.
It also makes me say things about people that I am glad they can't ever hear...well maybe not all of them. Some might need to hear it. Even so I have never broken or smashed any electronic equipment, nor have I ever had an uncontrollable rage fit. I am glad that of that, glad that I am able to control my anger and not make an utter ass of myself. If I get that angry I quit and just play until I switch it off and do something else.
With that said though, my brother does call me old granny panties, and I think that is fair.

This. I've only ever raged once, at Diablo 3 before any of the major balance patches. Just after get that angry, I realised that I wasn't enjoying it, so I quit.

I rage, provide entertainment for whomever is on TS with me, since they all love my fits. I tend to just swear a lot, and if I am really pissed off - normally a game breaking something - like game crashes or lag that kills me, I throw a plushie - I keep plushies on my desk for this reason.

But you always seemed so calm.
I hide it well unless its a game like Among the Sleep where I am scared to death

I do get angry, but these guys are just raging on a next level, damn.
Most recently the game that got me angry was Ori and the Blind Forest, because I kept dying over and over in certain areas. So I'll hit my table once or twice, try again, and then just quit the game and try again later.
Mostly if I get angry I just curse at whatever and that's it, I don't break things or hit things (most of the time).

I don't... But, if it gets really bad, I go to my gym and pound on the boxing bag for awhile.
Also, reminded me of this:

Oh, I just thought of 2 examples of rage.
1) I had the arcade stick for my 360, was playing DoA4 against the last OP boss. I ended up slamming my fist down on the arcade stick, which was on a glass table. The stick went right through.
2) Not gaming related, but I had a USB keyboard that was working intermittently. I got so frustrated with it, that I 'decided' it would be best to just destroy the thing so I'd never be tempted to try and get it working again, so I smashed it on the corner of the living room chair. Years later, when I redid the carpeting when I was putting the house on the market, I was still finding keys...

i dont really rage althoug i do get angry pretty easily. if there was no reprecussions for actions i probably would have killed a lot of people cause the stuff i sometimes dream up is just :wtf: . I tend to get up and take a walk if i want to rage and if im not at work go have a bit of an angry cry(yes i cry when i get angry dont know why i just do)...and then i go and sit and watch a girly love story movie to make me feel better
