Hey Guys,

I was talking to someone yesterday about how I was REALLY into left 4 dead 2, specifically the versus mode and I would rage at teammates that played poorly, like they would take their time when the objective is to get from point a to point b, ideally quickly!! I would get really emotional about it, lol, I quit the game, I was getting way too mad and burnt out over it. It taught me that when you become overly emotional about a game it may be time to take a break! Had similar experience with WoW.

Wonder if you guys had any tales of getting a bit TOO hardcore or into a game? I know there must be some, I still see people rage all day online in games.

Once I made two friends rage in BF2 when I kept bombing them with my jet and no matter what tactics they used they could not overcome. The swear words were all over the screen - fun times!

I never get too bent out of shape when I play online, it's just a game.

I do sometimes laugh out loud, but that's about as far as it gets.

I get very frustrated when I can't even touch my opponent in CS:GO. I don't rage-quit though and I'm usually in a good mood (whenever I do well).

me, wanna talk about rage? ive got 2 different games series i got way too into. and one game thats in beta that im very into.

first off, the tomb raider series, i used to RAGE so hard when i couldnt find a way out of an area in the game, and id sit there for entire nights just until i saw the clear screen

battlefield, especially BF3, i get on my xbox 360 with friends, and how many times they whine about choppers and i go "bring a soflam, i have a javelin, we can solve this problem" noone listens and keeps whining, so i rage at them and let them die more for not doing something logical..

and of course, the everloving DayZ,i collected a few vehicles and a bunch of gear, and then people want to go into electro with it. that spells death after hours of work. i actually raged and shot someone the other day when he tried to make off with the ural.

I got really mad and broke my phone one time. I was playing HL2:DM and the game kept alt tabbing out and I couldn't figure out why....it was because I set stuff to ALT + Tab that I constantly used. Anyway I got so mad that I went on a rage spree and split my flip phone in half. I've definitely learned since then.

Back in the days when i played a lot of CS1.6 i raged pretty hard. Not on my teammates, but i got angry on myself for playing so bad. So i think I've lost 2 keyboard that i smashed when i had enough of dying. But now days, it's only swearing and quiting the game, or as i did last week after playing LoL, i uninstalled the game.

The game was crash bandicoot warped. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time. I loved the game, but some levels were just a pain for me to get through at the time. Of course now that I look back at it the levels would have been simple to beat if i wasnt in such a rush. But I digress. I would get pretty into the game leaning right or left to dodge things. Occasionally falling off the chair when i really tried hard. But that wasnt really anything compared to when I got stuck on a level. I would get pissed after trying the same thing over and over about a 100 times. As i got more and more pissed stuff would start to feel my torment. Animals would be snapped at, parents and siblings yelled at. Eventually one day i started chucking the controller at the ground. Never hard enough to break it but enough to dent the floor. It wasnt until the 5th boss set maybe it was level 23 or something like that, that i finally lost it. I chucked the controller at the wall and it exploded into so many pieces that it looked like a trail of gravel falling to the floor. After which i picked up the playstation and whipped it with all the force a 12 year old could muster. needless to say i spent some time away from that game and all playstation games for a while. (I did beat it tho, just took an extra year)
