Why do gamers get so freakin' angry?

April 26, 2010 in Blog comments 6

When it comes to one's favorite game, nothing is sacred. We've all seen friends, teammates, and family members be brought together and then completely and utterly torn apart by a "friendly" game.

    I yelled at Super Mario Sunshine 5 years ago because the Pachinko stage in that game required me to grab a coin on a platform that automatically moved Mario in an undesired direction EVERY TIME I moved him.

    My windpipes wore sore for a good 30 minutes. At least my controller survived the throw.

    Honestly I only abuse others if I'm playing online and even then I do it without a mic.


    I have been pissed off while playing a friend in fighting games and had them just spam one move and kick my arse but I have never actually abused them for it.

    I used to get so pissed off as a kid at games, and I REALLY got pissed. (made a hole in my tv once thanks to dk 64, stupid lanky and the final level, I HATE LANKY!)

    Been a good while since I got truly angry at a game, so I grew out of it.

    I only wish I could say it's something you outgrow but sadly that's not the case with many, many, many gamers out there.

    Oh, Demon's Souls.

    Well, you see...when you lose an unbelievable amount of souls in an impossible boss area after an hour's worth of collecting....things tend to happen.

    Implying that sports don't bring out the same emotions.
