Do You Yell at Video Games?

I was just wondering how many off you really get worked up over a game. I thought of this thread because earlier today I was watching my little cousin (10) get so mad at Gundam: Battle Assualt, that he was screaming and throwing controllers. I have to admit, that I have done so too, at one time. I screamed and yelled, and threw a controller. Which broke so thats why I do not throw controllers any more. But I was just wondering if anyone did this too, or if you are more calm. The only game I have ever got really mad at was Blitz...:flaming:

[color=red][size=1]*insert ranting mode*Yup, I've yelled at every game I've ever owned. I'm somewhat short of temper and patience. :D Anyway, the game I've yell at most though is Sonic Adventure Two Battle. I know all Sonic games are easy, but man, this game is driving me insane. It's all move and no logic; and you have to play the hero and the dark's side. That's like two annoying games you're hooked on in one!*end ranting mode* :D[/color][/size]

Okay, I will go ahead and admit it. I yell at more games then just blitz. In fact my throat is hurting right now because I yelled at "Wreckless" all day long. Its funny though, sometimes I find that the games I yell at most are the ons I like the most. But this is not the case with blitz, i hate that game with a passion.

I feel better knowing I am not the only one...

[COLOR=blue][SIZE=1]Sometimes I yell at the screen like in Grand Theft Auto 3 I was always yelling at the cops and some of the gangs. I also am a frequent yeller at other racers in racing games. I use to be so loud as a kid my parents had to tell me to quiet down but am much better now and yell only once or twice a week at a game.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Well, I still get asked to quiten down. I am more worried about trying to remember to not throw my Controller. Especially my X-Box one, 40 bucks to replace it. I think it helps though, you got to vent that anger, or else it just builds up inside and impairs your judgement.

Those are my favorites :D I seem to crash less when I floor it. But I am really pissed right now, because I suck at street racing, it's impossible to blow up the laundry trucks with ten grenades, and I can't get away from the cops on the bank robbery, which means I'm outta choices on my missions >.< I still don't yell, but I get really pissed and hit the monitor (cuz I play it on the PC)

heh, I suck at video games. I never really have a desire to shout and scream at it though unless I'm playing w/ someone else. what really irritates me is when I'll be playing against, like, some little kid I babysit who's beating me by about 30 points while saying 'haha, you suck!'. but I just sit and stew (a lot), then when I'm by myself I [i]quietly[/i] rant to myself. so I'm not [i]too[/i] bad about it ^_^'.

[color=indigo]I don't really yell so much as I do make fun of it, lol. I'm really just making fun of myself cause I'm controlling it, but I just make fun of the character for doing the stupid things I do. It's like blaming your dog when you pass gas, lol.[/color]

[B][color=red][size=1] Little kid, huh? Ha, you suck...J/K!!!! Don't be mad. Anyway, [i]quietly[/i] rant...*scratches head*...I'll have to try that sometime...:D[/color][/size] [/B][/QUOTE]
actually, it works quite nicely for me ^_^. lol, the kid I was playing against had console after console since he was probaby three. I just barely got my first console a little over a month ago (my parents were against it up until now, since they thought me and my 4 sibs would've been constantly fighting over it). I'm actually decent at trick and race games though....

I've never yelled [i]at[/i] a videogame, but back during the days of Aki's Nintendo 64 Wrestling games, my pals and myself had some pretty heated battles that usually resorted in a lot of hooting and hollering. Ditto for GoldenEye.

But, I will yell at a game as soon as one learns how to yell back or hear me. For now, I'll have to settle for muttering profanities...

The only time I can remember actually yelling at a game is when I was playing FF VII the third time through.

I just got to the chocobo farm area and was doing some leveling up. When I got there I was on level 17, give or take a few levels. I stay there for a good three hours. By the time I was done it was about two in the morning. I guess I knoded off while pressing my directional pad. The next thing I know I woke up and was staring into the "GAME OVER" screen. The last time I looked I was on level 23. I got into a battle whn I was asleep and got killed.
I screamed so loud that I woke everyone up.

I also recently screamed at my computer, and broke something.

I could not get my printer to work. Everytime i would try to print it would say something like "An error has occured. Check all connections and try printing again." I would check all connections and they would be fine. I determined the problem to be the USB hub I had it hooked up to. I, against the opinion of a Best Buy proffesional, took it apart. Now I know my way around electronics pretty well. There was a bunch of gunk inside it. Hair, dust, etc... I cleaned it and put it back together. I hooked it up and turned on my computer. The thing started sparking. I unplugged my computer and shouted at it in a raving fit of rage. So the moral of this story is to listen to Best Buy people. Always!

Um . . . I don't yell at games . . . really! *sweatdrop* Ok . . . I yell at a lot of things . . . you'd start thinking I'm insane if ya live with me.

The only games I really yell at are Tomb Raider (when Lara runs off a cliff to her death when you're holding down the Shift button) or at Perfect Dark for the N64 (the same thing, but Joanna tends to do stupider things than that) I also yell at the other characters in racing games . . . I'm bad about that.

I also have that annoying habit of yelling at nothing too . . . *sweatdrop* I'll shut up now.

I never really yelled at video games. Allthough, I did have an old friend that did. He would get really mad yelling at the games and break his SNES controllers, it was a shame. I tried to calm him down at times but he got pretty mad. Now that I moved once or twice, I haven't seen him since.

Yeah, when me and my freinds are playing fighting games, it gets real loud. We are all yelling at our characters to quit getting beat up and fight...lol And iof you play Wreckless, you will be yelling on a couple of levels...

Oh, and one time I almost shattered glass with my loud yell. My cousin thought it would be cool to Use some gameshark codes on my FFVII save file....Yep, I was hoarse(sp?) for a week.

Sere, I know far to well about the Tomb Raider thing...lol
