Guy in my WoW guild supposedly smashed his monitor. He had PTSD for what it's worth.

Did he ever play with your guild again?

I remember a good friend of mine bursting into tears when his older brother interrupted his fight against Sagat by pressing start on the 2nd Megadrive joy pad to initiate a two-player game of Street Fighter 2 against his will.

I shattered my MW2 game case once. That was it though. I don't even know why I played that game, it was an unbalanced mess.

How is what I said indicative of me putting a remote controller in my butt?

The remote thing is from that old viral wow subscription cancelling video, c'mon gaf.
Worst I've ever done is whip a fight pad against my couch cushion after getting blown up by a... Chun in vanilla SF4. I hit the cushion, so I figured that it would be all right. Noope. Broke off at the cord. Last time I've ever done something like that.
Rage gamers are obnoxious and stressful to be around.

Not really.
I don't think it's worth it for anyone to loose your Zen over a videogame. I would say t's not worth, ever, but I can certainly understand having some things in real life that may upset some. For me it's one a hobby that I love, so if it's not being fun I change game, genre, etc.

Most I usually do is yell when I get mad, but sometimes I slam by fist down on my cheap Ikea desk and I think it's going to break one day.
Very rarely get mad when playing a single-player game, though. Almost exclusively multiplayer games.

that is some selective quoting on my part lol
but I dont think anyone would ever get that, man even the prep time to do it would afford you some cool down time.

That reminds me of my friend. Sometimes he's vocal, but sometimes he just types "lol" or "lmao" in the chat while being very quiet and you know he's seething.

Had a pretty nice gaming rager the last time I played Gears of War.
Last man standing on my team. Enemies closing in from every direction. Managed to clean house with a sawed-off. The reloads in particular were fucking intense.
I was rock hard for a good 20 minutes immediately afterwards

Yes I know we're talking about the other kind of rager. I like these more though.

lol all good. Well, if you look at the story about my friend, sticking a controller up your ass pales in comparison.

I wasn't in the guild when it happened. He would freak out from time to time when things weren't going well in game. Story is they wiped on something a bunch of times and he suddenly went afk. Came back a few hours later saying he had to buy a new monitor cause he smashed the old one.
Seemed like an ok guy when I would talk to him, but I didn't want to bring it up.

One of the few games that really got me angry was NFS Shift 2, I really hated the AI and the cheap controls on this game. It was strange, because I completed the first one without a problem. I sold the game in the same week of buying it...
Another game that got me angry was the last God Of War, but that was because I expected another game, this was nothing like the first games. I felt it was not worth the 70 pricetag. Should have read the reviews first

It is never that serious lol.

I've gotten pretty pissed at games but I have a lot of self restraint. I'll curse a lot though, but never to the point if throwing something or breaking stuff. It's just pretty much.....
Me: "WHAAAT THE FUCK! FUCKING SHIT, FUCK! FUCKING BULLSHIT!!"
"UUURRRGGG... I'm fucking done. Fuck this. Fuck everything."
"*Defeated* "Omg... Whatever.. This is just.. Whatever...."

Worst I've ever done is swear at the screen, and even that's extremely rare.

I guess I punched a chair a bunch as a kid. Would never harm my games though. Every time I start getting angry at online games, the emotional response I have is basically "this shit isn't worth the stress," and I put the game away.
I swear like a motherfucker though.
The context he's used it in here is not a common one in america either. "Rager" normally means "party," not "time I lost my shit in anger"

I've definitely chucked a few controllers in my day. Also, getting to basically the center of earth and losing all my diamond stuff I'd crafted in Minecraft promptly caused me to immediately exit the game, uninstall it, and vow to never waste my time with it ever again.

Trying to beat Rock Band's expert drum career led to a few moments.
I usually keep myself very calm, or even laugh about it, but the worst I did was (violently) throwing a gamecube controller to the ground after losing a very intense match in a local Smash Bros Melee tournament. It was the semifinals, and we still had one match to play, but the organizers disqualified me for "violent behavior" =/
of course, that made me rage even more and almost got into a fight with one of the organizers.
in my defense, some good money was at stake, and the guy who was playing against me was pulling off some heavy BS with his Jigglypuff, and he was making some annoying dance (IRL) every time he KO'd me.

I feel like there are, at least for me, two different levels of raging.
Good games get the first treatment, bullshit gets the second.
Story time!
- When you're getting incredibly frustrated with the game, and swearing and yelling because its hard. But then you beat it and you're ecstatic and cheering and fist pumping. Then...

The closest i get to raging are when things i have get update errors. I just got my WiiU back after the pcb board went, but all my console would say is to move the router closer. Then since my Wii U was out for repairs before they sent out the new eula, i couldnt connect to the eshop on my 3ds due to errors caused by that, and i thought my 3ds broke too.
I almost threw it, but it took some restraint

I mostly curse (not yell) and blow air out of my nose in frustration but I don't throw controllers or break them. If my girlfriend is with me, instead of raging I usually tell her something to the effect of "this game is pretty unfair, this is bad design right here" and then proceed to explain why I think the game has bad design (i.e. enemies not having reactions to being hit and still being able to hit me through their damage animation, or the main character having hit animations without invincibility frames, issues with camera design, bad level design, etc).

I kicked through the back of my desk once because of lagging / DCing whilst raiding in Cataclysm. Though it was less to do specifically with me raging at the game, but purely weeks and weeks of frustration building up because the uni internet was just that bad. I'm talking internet speeds that couldn't buffer youtube fast enough to watch the lowest resolutions seamlessly.
Playing FIFA online tends/tended to do this to me. There's no problem whatsoever when the opponent is objectively better and when I'm having my ass handed to me, but I tend to get furious when I'm dominating the whole match, hit the post or bar almost a dozen times, and then concede a late, cheap goal in a counter attack due to some stupid passing mistake from my part. Fortunately I never broke any controllers or TVs, but I did hit some walls pretty hard causing my hand to slightly hurt. But I haven't played FIFA since 13, so it's been a while now.
Other than that, not really. Even the Souls games didn't make me rage, though I did find some deaths to be cheap, but that's for another thread and another night.

I'm more than old enough to have learnt, that if an online defeat causes me to rage then the opponent has beaten me in more than just a game.
I get frustrated easily, but usually just rage quit. Recently was playing Xcom and someone died, so my other dude freaked out and killed another friendly? Fuck off, quit to desktop and take a break.
But one time. Mass Effect 1. Matriarch Benezia. I just couldn't stop trying. It was so frustrating. I ended up smashing a controller. It was the only time I've SERIOUSLY ever raged. Never before, never since.

I really don't understand it either. At the most, I've only ever been slightly annoyed. Never once have I felt the need to violently destroy my own belongings.

I've pulled cartridges out in the past and also refused to play games over it. I've gotted better these days but I think it has come at a cost. Rarely do I get the same thrills I used to. Maybe I should seek more challenging games or something.
Okay so I'm boring but I do have stories to tell.
A few weeks ago walking to the supermarket I could hear screaming in the distance, as I walked down the road it got louder until I walked past a house and I couldn't make out most of the screaming but the word tackle was in there making me think it was Fifa related. I was so tempting to knock on the door and be like, "you do know half of the street can hear you" but I may have been broken for that rather than controller or whatever.
