Im amazed people are into this kind of "entertainment". SC and now SC2 are stressful games that take a massive toll on a persons patience and mind if they are trying to learn or outplay a seemingly impossible to beat opponent. Posting a bunch of unfunny quotes from people and laughing at them when they are in that state of mind is practically no different than laughing at people for not wanting to touch a burning hot stove. Its normal and human to rage over losses in a game like this. In these peoples minds Zerg really IS OP. Or for the next guy he truly believes that Terran is OP. I dont see the humor in upsetting people. None of these quotes are even funny. If someone is facing what they believe in their mind to be "the impossible" and then failing over and over for reasons they dont understand and cant seem to figure out, anger is 100 percent normal and natural response. To not feel that would be inhuman.

I think that people feel more satisfaction than they should from getting these responses from people. It seems to me like the winners of these games equate the losers rage to a heightened amount of dominance, when really, you could just be going around choosing random and 6 pooling people over and over until you catch someone whos already in a bad mood, then screen cap their BM. It wouldnt really mean you are some kind of super badass player leaving nerds in your wake with your extreme skill. Hell, most of these wins are probably half luck, or the losing player actually is better than the person who ended up winning. But hey, if people want to continue to create a meal out of their tiny victories then no one really stop them. All i can say is, yeh, maybe there is something to people who rage over a loss, but screen capping it when it isnt even that funny and posting it on a forum isnt a whole lot more dignified in my eyes.

Everybody gets mad.
