Ever get so stressed that you just can't handle it and you feel like you could just pull your own head off and smash it against a wall?

Happens to me a lot, mainly with computer games, and most recently a few hours ago. So I was playing Tekken 5, and I went up against somebody extremely difficult on a hard setting. You could tell by the way she acted that she thought she was the dog's bollocks. "Ooh, look how tough I am!" she'd say, acting like she was the hardest, sexiest thing since Linda Hamilton in "Terminator 2".

By the time I finally beat her, about 25-30 (literally) battles later, I had punched the TV numerous times, nearly pulled my controller apart, scratched it deeply with teeth marks, pulled the number 6 key off my laptop keyboad (which was nearby), spat at the TV, torn out a few handfulls of hair, knocked a clock off the top of it (which nearly broke) and cut my fist clean open from punching things.

At one point I was even crouched on top of the chair, biting it as hard as I could.

But I just had to beat her! I couldn't leave her there, thinking she'd won! I know, I know it's only a game, but I can't just leave it like that. I had to beat her, and when I did, it felt so good. 😀

Anybody else ever get this stressed? Maybe not particularly from rogue video games, but in general, at things that shouldn't normally stress you out? (I know one person who gets angry at anything - one time, he dropped a glove on the floor [on a perfectly dry day] and started stamping on it and shouting "AARGH FOCKING HELLLLLL!!!!!!! AAAARGH!!" - and he wasn't even kidding)

Um.... ya know.... that final match... she LET you wi....oh wait... best not say that..... never mind 🙂

No, I can't say I have.

On a similar note, I've been in online battles with people, and I'm about to win or finish them off, and all of a sudden its "dinner time, sorry, I've got to go" or "Damn connection, I might get disconnected, ok?" or some other lame excuse to cover up the fact that they're sore losers and will do anything they can to stop you from technically winning and the battle being recorded as a win for you.

I've even seen some people admitting that they intentionally disconnect their internet connection when they're fighting someone they know they can't beat, so they'll just be forfeiting rather than losing. Some game server systems don't record disconnects as auto-victories.

I understand how thats fair, since its not your fault if your connection craps out on you, but its also a loophole for these sore losers.

Or, here's another annoying situation:

Someone will claim to be brand new and that they don't know how to play. So you agree to give them a little space to build up their forces and defenses and you don't attack them.

And low and behold, several minutes later they come at you with the army they've created which is just like letting you know it was just a lie and they're not good players so they have to cheat to win.

Another annoying thing is in multi-player games and not being able to trust your teammates to stick with the battle regardless of how its going.

One time, we were fighting a really tough battle and there was a point where we were going to lose. So my partner just says "sorry, gtg". How convenient is that?! I think he used the "its time for dinner" excuse. The little coward doesn't want his pride to be hurt by losing, so he bails on me so I'll have to deal with them on my own.

The other players don't care either, because now they know I'm on my own and I'll be easier to defeat so that afterwards they can brag about to others how they beat me and exagerate it to make it look like some huge feat.

And then theres the people who are TOO into the games to the point where its totally obnoxious. Its like they have clans and stuff and they roleplay on a freaking strategy game board, and think they're living in the fantasy of the game, etc., and they get all in your face, talk in an old-timey way, issue challenges to you in codes of honor they made up and stupid crap like that.

Its like...dude...I just came here to play a game, not get a speech from a f*cking nerd like you. Go outside and get a life.

(And yes, we have had this gaming discussion before several times, and yes, this isn't the first time I've said things like this here 😛).

Ah, but I'm not the one who always bails when she's on the ropes. 😎

I've always, repeat ALWAYS given you PLENTY of ler time. That's something even YOU cannot deny....

Oh. We're doing it again.

Sorry guys! :laughing:

Yes, yes, you have. However, when it comes time for you to say uncle, you always manage to perfect the Kevorkian Disconnect. 😎
And that's all I have to say about that here. Moving along now.

*Goes off to my thread to banter at him some more*

 

[tickle_fan031]

I've never been that angry but it frustrates me when............
I keep finding something which I don't need,but when I do need it I can't find it.

I get stuck behind slow drivers when I'm in a hurry.

 

[TheChameleon]

I have a tendency to not lose when I want to win at games... its a magical power... like, we were playin' Counter-Strike... and we were scrimmin' this clan, my pug team (pub players just team up to fight an actual 'team') all decided to try IRC to find a suitable challenge... and these guys had they're own server and stuff, we went... I fired a few shots at a guy holding an AK, and "tang! tang!" bullets bounced off his invisible tac. shield... they were using ill-legit scripts to carry a shield AND a rifle at the same time... not only that, but shields weren't allowed in play during those days...

Well, most of my friends got pissed... I told them that we shouldn't leave, and we should mess with them.

So, we set up this really awesome scheme, involving the use of knives, the "always have" weapon, with no ammo, and for some magical reason, happen to go through shields...

I stabbed 2 of them, killing them, my other friend got 2, and the last one had killed our entire team by that point, but we were laughing at them, because although they were cheating, we still got 4 of they're 5 man team, WITH KNIVES...

Then again, I actually suck at CS really bad, unless i'm using the knife, its kind of like... my special weapon.

how'd this thread get turned into... "well, haxxors ownt me and my friends" and "people disconnect when they're getting thrashed" thread?

I'm not part of the online gaming world, but that's probably for the best - if a PS2 game is enough to get me to trash my entire room, real people will finish me off with a level 46 heart-attack.

Oh yeah, there's another example - I once punched a friend in the face because he kept running away from me on "War of the Monsters." 😛

Neither am I, and you're right, it is generally for the best.

When friends ask me if I want to play, I'll tell them that if they can find a site where we won't be bothered by those pretensious little nerds then fine.

Its always alot better when you have private game rooms set up and can invite only the people you want and no one can waltz in and be a part of it.

 

[juggernaut]

I'm somewhat combustible. Especially in the car. I can't even make it off the church property after the service with saying something like, "C'mon, douchebag!! Thanks for letting me out m-f'er!!!"

As for gaming, I won't do it online. In fact, I won't even play with anyone else much. My buddy likes to play SOCOM and military games. He starts acting like he's in the military and using weird terms and running off like a retard, so I just stick to one player stuff like the Splinter Cells and Call of Duty's. And I say... play to win. Cheating is a strategy. If they're cheating, out-cheat them. Win at all costs.

My brother City of Heroes and he just runs around for an hour getting people to come up and ask him to join a team and partner up. He'll have a three or four minute conversation with them and then tells them how lame their costume is or how supid their powers are and then runs off to a different part of the city to make fun of someone else. He pays the same money as everyone else, so if that's how he wants to play... so be it.

LoL douchebag. Haven't heard that one since I was twelve. :laughing:

Are you in a part of NY where you still do alot of driving? I have three or four friends that have all but abandoned their cars after moving there.


And I've been to Manhattan and Long Island. If I had to drive there, I'd have an aneurism and then go to prison for murder.

I live in suburbia😛. The guy who taught my driver's ed is the same guy who taught my dad to drive :laughing:

 

[juggernaut]

Ha!

Ironically, a couple years after graduating, I was almost in a head-on collision with the guy who taught my driver's ed. No way I could be blamed for that having learned everything from him. 😀

She let me win out of fear, because I told her that if she didn't back down so I could stomp her ass, I was going to pull the disc out of the computer and bite it until it broke.
