We used to go through SNES contollers like candy (others too, but mainly SNES) because he would always lose. I can still bring it up 10 years later and he gets angry about it. Especially when it was 30 to 0 in a SSF game. Ohhh he would smash the shit out of those controllers.

For some reason I've always had an affinity for video games. Whenever someone is stuck they won't let me help because they know it'll take me a couple tries in what they couldn't do in a day. That has always pissed off my friends.

Yeah, I remember seeing the results to a study a while back that said something about kids demonstarting "frustration" after playing violent multiplayer videogames.

They're not frustrates/angry because pretending to shoot guns instills feelings of hatred in their heads... they're just pissed off cause they lost.

I can't tell you how much I cussed and flipped out playing Halo 2 every day when I was 12 and 13. I was HORRIBLE at it, and it made me angrier than anything else in the world.

It wasn't because i was shooting stuff. It because I was LOSING!

@ReconToaster.: I also get really pissed off when losing because either I did something completelly stupid or someone in my team did in TF2, and thats why I get pissed off, but its not related to what the game is, every game in which one loses may ause him/her to get angry, what matters is how much can that person control his/her feelings of anger.

Psht, you think that's bad? I was playing Hungry Hungry Hippos and the asshole next to me cheated by tilting the marbles so they all flowed in his direction. I back handed him before he could finish all the hippo food.

I once saw a guy punch a friend because of a girl... i think girls are bad influences on our children and we should not be exposing them to this threat...

And there's always that jackass that buys every property they land on without a thought. Makes me angry just thinking about it. I need to go play some Halo 3 to calm down.

Does it involve Kamchatka? 'Cause if it doesn't involve Kamchatka, it can't possibly be a viable plan.

I'm not surprised really. I remember way back when I was younger, I was playing Aggravation (marble game, like Sorry) with my cousin. He landed on one of my guys, sent him home, and that made me flip out. I jumped over the board and just pinned him to the ground by his throat.

I'm a bad person.

Sorry! promotes racial violence that teaches children it is justifiable by saying an apology.

Has anyone here played a full game of Monopoly? It lasts for about six hours.

"Are we almost done Uncle Mike? It's 1:00 in the morning?"
"You still have some properties left, so we're not."
"OK, I light all the buildings that I have on fire. Now THEY'RE GONE. WE'RE DONE."

Fun times.

@superdance14:Haven't played a full monopoly game in years. I'm a fucking property tycoon. Everyone seems to quit on me after they land on a few of my hotels. Don't even get me started on scrabble when I play people my age. . .

@NitroAML:

Playing a full game of monopoly is, to me, one of the greatest experiences this world has to offer. Unfortunately, nobody I know is ever willing to play.

As for scrabble... I cannot play Scrabble. I have a decent vocabulary... but my mind simply is not wired for a game like that. I think of a word that Might work if I had just one more letter... and then I'm completely focused on that word for the rest of the game, and I'll never be able to get it out of my head.

I't extremely frustrating.

Monopoly is an evil game... even if you make it to the end, there's only taunting and urges to hit the other person in the head...

Monopoly is seriously one of the most evil games I've ever played.

I used to play with my mom, dad, uncle, and aunt.. and things got heated pretty quickly. It ended starting a small family feud over a get out of jail free card.. I don't even know how that happened.

@Blyr: When I was younger and we used to go to my grandparents for babysitting my grandad used to offer us juice n what not in the hopes that one of us would go to the toilet. Then he'd shuffle about the money of the player that left (usually my younger brother), hand out some to me and my sis to keep us quiet :D

It's all EA's fault. They turn Monopoly into a videogame and now look at this mess.

What about the kids? Will anyone think about the kids?
