List your most common form of Gamers Rage here !!!

"FORK" is not a swear word.

I don't rage, but I have been known to say bugger once in a while.

I laugh and say, 'well that sucks.'

Then I go do something else constructive.

flappy birds on my amazon fire TV, I don't normally swear much but when I am playing it I'm like someone with Tourette's on crack.

Way back in my younger days, I remember one game in particular, TechnoCop on Sega Genesis or Sega MegaDrive for those across the pond.  That game pissed me off so much I swung my controller above my head like a helicopter blade and let it fly into the wall.  I've calmed down over the years, now I just turn the game off and do something else.  But I remember the days of gamer rage well...

Back in the day I broke a joystick, it became unresponsive when fighting some end of level dudes on an old computer. I had 3 lives left and it had taken me ages to get to that level. I remember shouting "look I'm moving left/right/up and it's not doing anything." I then began pressing every button, but could only watch as all my hard work was undone. I listened to the voices on screens such as aaaaaahhhhh, but it all became to much and I pull my joystick apart after that. I learn't my lesson though because had to pay for another joystick.

You are the fun police Zenbane, that is why all your gamers rage is politically correct.

Ive been there.. LOL..
I slam on the button on the controller and go 'Look I pressed it.. I pressed it.. FORK me @! Then threw it' and yeh I just bought a new controller recently and im 41.
I think you can get gamers rage at any age. It does not discriminate.

Pretty much same here Zenbane - I usually just move on until I am ready to try again. Some games I just move on from permanently if the part is just stupid difficult - stink-eyeing the Steam icon with disdain from time to time. :tongue:

I have been known to throw controllers full pelt at the wall causing damage to wall and destroying the pad. I haven't had the game rage though for a number of years now. I must have mellowed with age or just got better at gaming, or not taken cheap design techniques so personal. I still swear a lot though (apparently, this is good for stress).

I find driving in London far more rage inducing to be honest.
