Demolished my Gears of War 2 box when playing Gears of War 2 online. That was my peak. I don't get very angry at games any more.
This. Can't defeat 10 randomly moving about things in 10 seconds? You lose. Not die. Just. Lose.Quite surprisingly, facing this guy.

So perma banned accounts... aren't actually perma bans?Playing WoW when I was young and dumb circa 2006ish. Prior to the following, I had already been reported a couple times for swearing.
I had loaned a guildy the mats to make the Arcanite Reaper -- no small cost at that time. The very next day he quit the guild and refused to pay me back for the crafting materials. I went on an absolute rampage with profuse language and then reported him for scamming me.
As a result, he was suspended 72 hours but in doing so I was permanently banned from the game for my use of language. So, not only did I get my materials jacked, I also banned myself from a game I had dumped hundreds of hours into. It's actually probably the angriest I've ever been in general.
About 2 years ago I sent an email to Blizzard appealing the ban of my old vanilla account, and the ban was almost immediately lifted. It was awesome to log onto my UD Mage on Archimonde. I was one of the first mages to have a piece of Netherwind at that time.
I remember getting to this exact spot pretty much first on GAF and complaining about it so hard. People were saying git gud and shit, then when they finally got to that part, days later, I had the biggest grin on my face as I watched the same casuals nerd rage on their keyboards.![]()
I've never raged out at a video game before. I got so frustrated I started squeezing my controller, not bending, just squeezing, and I only caught myself right before the controller snapped.
So perma banned accounts... aren't actually perma bans?
Blizzard be like: "yo dawg, unban this guy - he's a costumer with $!"Rofl. Just did some digging. Here was my appeal that got me reinstated:
Hello Blizzard, this is the owner of the account 'Xxxxx' that was banned, pending an appeal, on August of 2005. I am making this appeal because it has been nearly 4 years since the incident occurred and can honestly say I have matured immensely since then. Then I was 15 and a sophomore in highschool, Now I am nearly 20 and a junior in college at a major University. I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to have my account reactivated and renew playing World of Warcraft for months to come. I have no excuse for the inappropriate, immature, senseless behavior I exhibited in the past.
With that said, I do believe being deprived of my account the past four years is more than enough justification for the unruly things I did. If you could please at least take the time to heavily consider the alternative of reinstating my account I would be very grateful of your gratitude.
