I'm so effin angry right now

[hypernova]

I tossed a few controllers when I was a young'un but my parents wouldn't stand for that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- and would ground me for acting out like that so I got over it.  In college I let a guy get way ahead in Tony Hawk then strung together a few combos in the last seconds to beat him.  Dude had been heckling me the whole time so I threw a bit of thrash talk at him right at the penultimate moment of victory and the dweeb lost his ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, threw his controller, and started throwing punches.  The rest of the evening rapidly went down hill from there.

Daaaaamn!  It makes you wonder, even at college age, if they place so much importance on a game, even where nothing but pride is at stake, how craptastic could their life be?

And of course...he's enough of an ass to dish it, but couldn't take it.  Typical.  I've always wondered about the psychology of those individuals and such.  What is going through their heads especially at those moments.

What is going through their heads especially at those moments.

Apparently, an Xbox controller.

I remember my roommate in 2003 or so was playing hotshot golf with me on the ps2 and he missed a putt or something.  He just sat there for a second, then just as simple as you open a can of biscuits he twisted his ps2 controller into two pieces.  one hand clockwise, the other hand counterclockwise, and 1 second later there were two halves of a controller.

Then, as if that wasn't enough to show the game who was boss, he opened a new controller and without saying a word he did the same to it.  He never appeared angry or raged or threw anything or broke anything he didn't own.  he was very polite about his anger.  he just quietly and calmly tore two controllers in half like they were made of styrofoam.

without a word, he left and came back about 40 minutes later with 10 new controllers.  "might need these," he said before we resumed playing.

^ over hotshotsgolf looool 

how do you even get mad about playing the computer. its just programmed. things MIGHT get to me if I am playing against a real person. usually not even unless I am getting glitched. which is probably the only time I thought about throwing the controller against the wall.

Those kinds of people are the ones I think we should be concerned about...they hold everything in, even the most petty of things, then it boils over in an extreme bout of rage...then just as quickly, it subsides.  That dude has issues.

I agree in general, but he wasn't like that.  He bottled nothing up; nothing boiled over.  He was angry with the game and he broke two controllers in half.  That is a clear example of not bottling it in.  I understand how it could appear that he boiled over, but he didn't yell or scream or even raise his voice -- ever.  He was in control 100% of the time, and those controllers broke because he wanted them broken, not because he was so angry he lost his ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.

I agree that's what it looks like, but I knew that guy for nearly a decade and if he was nuts or had anger issues there would have been more foreboding clues than two broken controllers.  He never even opened 8 of the 10 controllers he bought and he probably still has them.

I know that feeling. It wasn't MVC3....maybe tekken I was playing. Pretty much every match online went: Fight Start, LAAAAAAG, Match over, I lose.

worst part is that whoever I lost to couldnt touch me without that underwater-delay
