The sad thing is that I do something like that to a very lesser extent sometimes. Not with as much passion, but a little punch helps me feel better when I lose too many times

(edited to add the word "very", as I felt it was important )

That's retarded.

It's also hilarious. It's so hard for me to understand people getting that fired up over a game...

The rage always comes after I lose a few games, or was fragged too many times without being able to do anything to change the way the game is unfolding, and if I don't pay attention to control myself, I just want to give the keyboard a little (compared to the video) punch. I actively try to better my control right now. That'sd why I'm using a very old and STURDY keyboard. I could not break it if I wanted; it is a tank. Now, I will learn to control not only my actions, but the way I feel when constraining situations happen. That's a very long walk but I already feel a change.

(edit)
Did you see the other videos on the site? I can't stop browsing! Some are plain stupid, but many are hilarious Perhaps I'm too tired...

I occasionally get pissed over a game and quit playing. But I've never gotten pissed to the point that I felt the urge to destroy my computer desk.

Last night I felt a twinge of game rage...ut2k4 bombing run against the AI...what a PITA. You spend about 30 minutes at least running back and forth because the retarded map designers decided it was a good idea to put the respawn point just before the bomb placement so you pretty much play a back and forth stalemate. I've done 3 of these so far and each one has been like this. What a terrible design decision. Of course with humans this would be better...

Normally I would have quit but I needed this win to move on to the assault maps, and I hate leaving stuff unfinished.

Yes UT2k4 was very disturbing, wait until you get to the retarded space ship level. I hated this one with all my unheart. If I had known beforehand that it was not worth it to finish the single player campaign, I would have stopped right there. UT2k3 was better.

I have broken several keyboards and mice due to gaming rage. I guess I must be maturing since I haven't broken anything out of rage for several years. It mostly happened at LAN parties back in the day.

I've gotten angry before due to frustration on dying in games. At most I've only thrown gamepad controllers on the ground but other than that I keep telling myself that it's just a game.

I've broken several joysticks over particularly difficult missions in TIE Fighter, Wing Commander - Prophecy, Freelancer, etc...

One time my wife asked me after a bad joystick slamming/tossing session why I even bothered to play those games when I got so worked up over them.

My reply, "Cause they're FUCKING RELAXING allright?!?!"

That's when the giggles set in. Thank god for an understanding and patient wife.

Me too. The most spectacular was the shattering of a joystick against a dorm room wall over the last mission of the original Wing Commander.

That video is like kindergarten compared to the rage I have expressed towards certain games. Imagine that certain scene in "Office Space" on speed and PCP inside a closed space. I've never broken anything worth more than $50 though.

ed - not a rage thing, but funny anyway. I once destroyed a joystick throught fatigue and stress. Munchman on a TI99. Through the stress of a marathon - best game ever - play period and the heat of my hot little 10 year old hands I snapped the official TI joystick off of its base!

Given that my mom kicks your mom's ass in all ways that are cool she had the solution: methyl-ethyl-ketone. Plastic glue! Well, more like plastic melter-backer-together. It was never 100% fixed of course but it did work for many years, with the occasional re-gluing.

PS - yes she IS an organic chemist and I was 10 when it happened so if I remembered her descriptions and definitions wrong you can suck it. Rage!

If I hate the game that much, I'd just uninstall the game.

Though Midtown Madness 2 came close to doing that. The London Final Exam is extremely frustrating as it demands 100% perfection over period of over 7 minutes, with NO letting up. I've yet to finish that specific task. Heck, I may just uninstall it now...
