I had a friend who I was playing cards with(4 player game) and my team was winning, and he was getting his *** kicked, so he started arguing about the cards not being shuffled correctly, and after reassuring him they were, and even still, the cards are random in the deck anyways, he would not shut up about it and finally yelled @ me and just went off on me. he's thrown controllers, hitting me, his gf, and other things as well. that is anger...

The only game I get mad at is DoD:S...
I mean, this one time I was playing the game and I died via headshot 5 rounds in a row... wtf's with that? I die from random headshots a lot and that really irritates me...
Like, two days ago I was playing DoD:S with my brother and a friend. My brother was using a Thompson, one of the most inaccurate weapons in the game, and he runs towards me from quite a bit away and shoots me in the head (without being shot anywhere else)... 
And also, the whole knifing thing... I usually punch something other than my enemy when I'm point blank with the guy...
Anywho, other than DoD:S... nope.

They're not "videogames," they're called electronic entertainment or some variant thereof.
Edit: I might also consider this to be under the 'gaming' category so I'm moving this thread.

So last night I played my boyfriend in Madden 06 and got crushed. But I'd never played Madden in the last like 6 years so I had no idea wtf I was doing. But I was still irritated.
Then he whipped me in Mortal Kombat 2. Like, whipped. And I was virtually undefeated with Baracca up to that point (on MK Trilogy, but still). And yes, I was pissed off. I kept cool though, I just said 'I need to stop playing games' and we stopped. Sex is better than MK anyday anyway.
so, yes, I think its normal to get mad, because no one likes losing, however, you need to control how mad you allow yourself to get..

I've taken out a few controllers over racing games, because there's almost nothing more frustrating than holding a lead the entire damn race, KNOWING you should be WAAAAAAAY out in front (because you have auto catch-up turned off and when YOU drop back the computer's car gets way the hell out there) and at the last second, some stupid inane thing pops up and you take second.
Once or twice, annoying but whatever. But when it happens over and over and over...that's when I start trashing controllers.
I've had some anger management issues though, when things go really, really wrong on my computer I've taken out keyboards, axed them into the walls, etc. There are these certain logitech keyboards I like, I once bought a case of five of them just because I was taking them out so fast.
I haven't smashed a keyboard in a few years, but to this day whenever I clean I still manage to find a key here and there. Kinda funny actually.

good to see i'm not the only one...the worst is when i'm getting shot and I can't move...that really pisses me off.
the thing that i found interesting is that when i play for like 30-45 minutes and lose i don't care but when it becomes a 3-4 hour gaming session i get extremely angry. common sense tells me that i'm probably more mad at the fact that i'm in the house doing nothing and i'm bored.
i've never hit my gf though...she's gotten scared and went into the other room a few times but I would never do that. if it got to that point I would go to VGA.

Video games dont make me mad. Its the people who I think are my friends, are the only friends I have, that act like assholes, and say **** about me, when I'm trying to enjoy a video game, that make me mad.
Every time I get on xbox live, the kid from school that is nice to me in those walls, is an evil bastard that sets out to make my life a living hell. He says that I look like a drug addict, he tells everybody how I look wierd, that I'm about as pale of a person as his *** cheaks, complains at me all that time cause of the way I play, whenever I say something that offends him the slightest bit, he tells me to go light a bong, and so on. It gets on my nerves, because I dont do drugs, and I really dont like being told that I look wierd.
But yet, when you have no friends really, and he is nice to me in person, heh, I just stay with him and act like we are buddies.
Inside, I want to kill him.

well that did it...i got mad tonight and threw my keys and it put a crack in my labtop screen...I'm deleting cs off my computer. video games tend to ruin my life and every couple of months i break my comp/xbox and my life gets better. then i save up and buy a new system only to realise i'm slacking in school and neglecting my friends. it's so hard to say i'm not going to play but im ruining my life with these stupid games/competition in general. for some reason i can't handle losing so i better just stay away from competition in general and take anger management before I end up really hurting someone and going to jail. dell is charging my i think around 340 bucks for the screen which is only 14.1 inches...what a rip off. i dunno what to go guys...but i'm going to try and calm down and watch doom(the movie)

I can get a little frustrated when I cant beat the damn thing. When I do beat it I scream my head off like the football holigans at the stand.
