It is hard not to get heated during those long intense games where a small error cost you the game. I run Starcraft II at max settings which is a lot of stress on my rig. It sputters sometimes and some of those times are right in the middle of a crucial mouse/keyboard input. Looking back at 10 SCVs that are sitting idle because your game skipped during the last command you gave them can be pretty damn frustrating.
Identifying exactly what is making me mad always works for me. For example, miss-microing a ball of marines into a hoard of banes, or my computer skipping during important moments. In the former case I could only be mad at myself for messing up. In the latter case it is difficult to come up with a reason for being angry because I am intentionally pushing my computer to the limit running at max settings, which is effectively causing the skipping.
If I can't identify a reason at all I know that I'm basically just mad that I lost. What mostly happens is that I can't identify a reason and then I realize that I am really mad about nothing and cool off.
I've never done anything physical out of anger after any game, mostly because I don't want to damage anything I own. If everything in my room was made of balsa wood and was instantly replaceable I would be breaking sh** all day, but it isn't, so I don't. It's good that you have a sense of humor, but I hope you don't think it's cool to rage. It's not cool to have unwarranted rage explosions, it's foolish. Not to sound preachy.

This thread is terrible.
There is almost no actual discussion, little content, and less manners.

I'm going to re-open this.
Please keep the "are you retarded" and "U mad" style posts out of the thread.
Stories of damaged equipment due to frustration are of course encouraged.

Sorry, no equipment damage stories. The worse I've done is to slam my mouse unto the table.

Anyone who has ever played online poker in any sort of serious volume for a substantial length of time has had something like this happen.
And I mean anyone. If you've played professionally for any length of time, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I have a cool little story from yesterday when i laddered.
So i just played a ZvZ and my enemy was going roach/infestor but i didnt scouted the infestation pit so he came to my base i had mass ling+ upgrades and he just raped me with fungals.I ALT+F4'd out of the game because i was so pissed(i was so mad on myself cause i didnt scouted it),first thing i did after the game i grabbed a crown cap,flipped it with my fingers,it bounced on the wall then on top of my monitor and it landed in my coffee cup and when i realised that it landed in my coffee cup i was laughing so hard,started SC2 again and won 3 games in a row. <3
Every Adrenalin was imediatly gone and i was even calmer then "The Dude". :D

Not during ladder but at poker, i smashed the Keyboard and lost several keys (yeah a bit like the german kid lol). I 've never retrieved them all (although my room was pretty small)

I have a cousin that used to get really angry when playing games on his PC. We'd hang out a lot so I witnessed some pretty funny stuff. I remember the day he got his brand new 800 mHz computer (that was top notch back then). He was saying he'd put a coke bottle next to his comp so when he gets angry he hits that instead (he knew he'd get angry before hand which is pretty funny by itself).
I clearly remember the first day the coke bottle got thrown to the other side of the room and the keyboard bashing commencing.
Boy did that computer eat its share of violence. He would do anything you could imagine. Kick the fuck out of the computer so hard that CDs would fall inside the computer box itself. Break keyboards in half, push his screen into the wall with his keyboard. I remember that one time specifically when I was sleeping and his rage woke me up. First thing I saw was him spinning a chair around the room to ultimately launch it at full force in the wall. His desk and wall were just completely fucked.
He did break his desk kinda like the OP one day. What he did was lift his foot over it and just crush it.
Oh yeah, another classic one. He broke a keyboard over his knee, so we had to go buy another one. We did, but it was defective and wouldn't function properly. I remember calling the shop to ask them if we could return it, while in the background he was yelling and hitting the shit out of that keyboard. I can only imagine what that employee was thinking.

I dont understand people who are angry about losing. It's just a game.
I also was angry sometimes after losing when i was younger but now i just think "yep, he played better" or "yes, i was so greedy that i didnt think about opponent timing attack".
Also when i feel that i become angrier i just go play team play or just exit sc. Dont try to play when u are angry, it's useless...

I have a glass desk from IKEA, quite expensive, and sometimes I have to really strain myself from slamming my fists down when I get bunker rushed at my poor hatchery

I do agree with your post though. I think the difference between the OP's rage and the rage of the poor is that the OP doesn't experience it as often so naturally he goes ballistic, while the less privileged suppress it? IDK, I'm just talking out of my ass.
Clearly
So manner.

That is many rage you have.

Buy a better desk out of solid wood next time. Maybe you'll break your wrists instead :D
