When you lose, right?

Friend of mine does that when he gets multiple owns (be they cheap or not) against him. I've seen the holes over the years embedded in his home walls which have since then been repaired. Kinda cool watching an N64 controller get broken with just his bare hands too...course it kinda is dumb watching him bleed when he does it...but those N64 controllers WERE crap.

Most of the time I get really angry at a game, it's because I've been trying to pass the same area for quite some time, whether because it's just too difficult, or because I can't figure out what to do.

An example of such would be my experience with Trauma Center this weekend. I'm up to the point where you're required to perform 5 operations to remove GUILT from each of the 5 patients within 10 minutes. The couple times I've tried it so far, one operation takes me 3 minutes, and two if I use the Healing Touch, which seemingly can only be used once, and lasts for 200 seconds (I think). It's extremely frustrating performing the operation on 4 of the 5 people, then not having enough time to finish the last one I haven't touched the game since Saturday afternoon because of that

The only other example that comes to mind was when my brother rented Wario World (or whatever the pseudo-3D Wario game for Gamecube is called). The areas you fall into got on my last nerve pretty quickly. Around the desert level, I started thinking about how I badly wanted to find the people that decided to put those areas in the game, and give them a piece of my mind.

To answer the question quickly, I'd say that sometimes I do feel like doing violent things after playing certain games, but that feeling passes fairly quickly, after I realize that it was just a game, and as such, it's more foolish than anything to be getting angry with it

Who doesn't? Often times it is the controller and/or input logic's fault (you press jump, and the character doesn't jump and you die). Smacking electronics always seems to get them working, dunno how or why, but it does. (Unless you hit them too hard and break them. )

GTA didn't make me want to randomly kill people and steal their cars. Manhunt didn't make me want to brutally kill gangsters. So my answer is NO!!! Unless you take these games VERY VERY seriously of course.

when I play a game, any game at all...I get the urge to kill everyone in the room...

errr...when I was playing Zone of the Enders 2 I kept getting my ass handed to me during the fight against all the air ships. No matter what I did I couldn't win...it got to the point where I threw my controller at my dresser, than I grabbed it and ripped it in 2 with my bare hands. Than I ripped the soft pieces to shreads, and finally I grabbed all the buttons and threw them in random directions in my room. Oh and also I spit on it.

About 2 minutes later I got out my second controller, and preceded to play the level again. Almost broke that controller too, but I realized it was my last one so I had a little bit more restraint.

I have punched many many walls, and almost broke my hand for punching the ground as hard as I could.

Another sad sad event for me was when I broke my dreamcast controller. It all happened when I was playing Jet grind radio. I wanted to get all the souls in the level the first time around. I ended up doing the level like 6 times, and on the 7th time I just got so pissed off I threw my dreamcast controller in the air and punched it so hard, it just broke...it didn't crack or anything...it just simply broke. I couldn't play jet grind radio till about 1 year later.

In short...its not good to break the only controller you have

I want to jump on people's heads.

The hiccup noise they make when they die is funny.

No, at least if hitting the controller or the console counts

You know, I can't really say I've ever felt compelled to do something in real life because of a video game, aside from wasting time playing it... D:

I just shoot fireballs at them. Seeing them fall through the floor is awesome.

Who voted 'yes'? THEY WILL DIE!

Seriously, though. I wouldn't understand why you'd feel violent unless the crappy CPU owned you hardcore. Then again, I know what it's like to have an impossible CPU against you. Try playing Power Instinct 2 in the arcade. Geezus cripes.

Yeah. Then they'll have to respawn way back and be forced to do a bunch of hard stuff over again. That'll show 'em.
