Rage

[Sweetchild]

I was playing a huge 30 min master league dual against "Mambo" tonight and as the final whistle went giving me a 6-3 victory "mambo" smashed his controller is this taking things a little bit far and should he see someone for his rage?

 

[Giggsy11]

I used to do the same..I broke 2 of my ps2 controllers by throwing them against the wall

 

[Nifty1Pound50]

I broke my mate's one by throwing it against the TV.

We all do it.

There is a thing called "losing rage" meaning when you lose at something your body sends this angry signal to your brain and your brain is unable to read that signal properly and that`s why some people do things when they get that losing rage that they wouldn`t normally do. There were a few deaths caused by this rage, not by playing PES3 a kid was playing some action game and he lost I guess in his last level so the next day police found him hanged..and a suicide note.. i guess its always good when someones there to calm you down.

yeah the little bastard things split open at the sides when you hit a radiator with em, trust me - i know

all you gotta do is put em back together again with a tiny screwdriver and rearrange all the little bits and pieces

im sure most people here have done something of the sort anywho

 

[pubey3k]

they should really make the controllers alot stronger, i have broke in the last year 2psx controllers, 3 xbox controllers and the keyboard of my computer. really should learn to calm down

WOW. Do you guys get that angry when you lose at other things too? Do you throw stuff at people as well?
Say, winning 11 - do you know if this stuff happened to an adult as well or is it an adolescent thing? (I'm not kidding, just trying to find out).

 

[Zygalski]

I have never broken or thrown or hit anything (/anyone) in rage. I'm getting used to my opponent quitting the match in the pause menu.

Be a gracious winner and don't be a sore loser.

 

[gollan]

amen to that. especially the gracious winner part, that's what most people miss on.

 

[Giggsy11]

I have learnt to controller my temper now..I tend to hit the pillow next to me when i get annoyed.

 

[adams9802]

I put a hole in the wall with a controller. I've probably destroyed3 controllers, I also got mad once after losing and broke my Ps2, I hit it with a broom stick..I also attack my friends as well if i'm playing and i'm drunk, I alwayslose too.

well seen as you asked so nicely
im guessing people up to about 20 could do it

i dont do it anymore coz ive got a tv in my room now (where i have a boxing bag suspended from the ceiling)

it gets a right good thumping if i get annoyed

nothing wrong with letting off a bit of steam eh

Actually it was 6-4, and I was cheated. And I beat you 10-1 today so there .
*Nips off to the shops for a new controller*

 

[ChelseaDave]

i dont throw controllers or anything... i just swear REALLY LOUD!!

 

[Jasper]

this is all very sad.Does this make you's feel big?

 

[ChelseaDave]

for me it just vents the frustration...

 

[mutu]

what he said, why would it make anyone feel big

some people just have short tempers, oh well, dont be a hater jasp

peace and love

 

[CtrlAltDel]

you guys crack me up
it sucks to lose but jeez

 

[mutu]

i've only broken one i think

i blame hormones - damned pesky hormones

celtic beat me in second to last game of season to win ml league

what a bunch of tossers

 

[Nifty1Pound50]

Does this make you's feel big?

Looking down upon your sad excuse of a life does, yes.

Throwing controllers doesn't, no. That would be ridiculous. I haven't personally thrown a controller since my mate's one got busted open, I don't find it as enthralling any more.
