what do you do when...?

[game-o_v_e_r]

How do you vent your fustration when you make a stupid move on a game?
What do you do when you just get MAD?


Do you punch your leg?
Do you have a screaming pillow?
Do you throw things?


Tell us what you do, I mean lets face it we ALL do someting.

I cuss, and if i am online and someone pisses me off and gets me killed in EQ, i jump around cussing.. thats about it here.

[simonbelmont7]

i scream at the tv! When i was younger, i go so mad at Mike Tyson on Punchout, i broke a controller in half, haha :)

[Videogamerdaryll]

I say..Fkn,Sht..bsd.

But I really don't get mad..I just do it again until I get it right..

I used to break so many controllers when I was younger. I think I broke 2 SNES controllers and almost broke 1 NES one. Now I just curse the hell out of the thing. Maybe I'll hit the sofa once in a while.

[ubersaurus]

I'll punch the pillow while cussing out whatever onscreen character I'm using.

Mario's gotten quite used to the abuse over the years, or so I hope.

I never get frustrated. One of the things that used to bug my roomates in college was I'd just sit there and do the same thing over and over again without a peep :P

For some reason I have the tendency to slap my right hand against the side of the controller. The XBOX controller S minimized damage all around on this front. But say... a NES controller? sharp corners = ouchie

Throw my controller into the ground and if somebody cheats a win then i take my controller out of the port and start whipping them with the connecter. :whip:

[Starcade]

I rarely get that pissed to risk damage to soemthing I bought with hard earned money. I only did this once, while playing fucking castelvania 2 for NES, i threw my controller against the wall REALLY hard, didn't break it, but i felt dumb after doing it.

[RetroYoungen]

All I do is swear. Loud and often. Swear at the screen, the system, the controller, anyone else in the room... just swear. >)

[hezeuschrist]

Console games I never get mad at anymore... they really aren't challenging enough to warrant any frustration. Die once, know exactly what to do the second time, win, move on.

Counterstrike on the otherhand... oh man. When I get on losing streaks I lose it... and my keyboard gets it. If I weren't so broke right now I would have a new keyboard, this one has taken some serious fist abuse. The first time I punched this thing, I nailed it so hard the pegs in the back snapped off, and the impact from the pegs snapping and the keyboard smacking the desk launched nearly every single key off of the keyboard. I was so pissed. I'm still missing my PrintScreen key because I have no idea where it flew off to.

[hydr0x]

hehe yes counter-strike can be the most frustrating game but imho only if u have bad net-settings or just don't get what u have to do to be "good"

[Arqueologia_Digital]

I always cry some bad words...

[tynstar]

When I was younger I threw controllers. But today’s controllers are too expensive for that. I just swear a lot now.

[ehall]

Having a kid has somewhat curbed my old cries of frustration. Now I usually manage to get out a quick "Sonofamothergoshdarnstupid".

Then I just growl for a while.

[IGotTheDot]

I tend to flip off the screen (arcade, TV or monitor). It makes me feel better. :fist:

[punkoffgirl]

I'm always making stupid moves in games.. I don't think I have any real skill. I'd have to contribute any progress I've made to dumb luck.
Therefore, I don't suppose I have much of a right to complain. But if I do get upset, it's most likely a verbal reaction, rather than physical. I'm too poor to hurt myself or break anything.
