Do you cuss your way through games?
 
Cause I do. Man, I rant and rave and chew the monitor up and down while trying to maneuver my way through tricky levels. I'm working through Rayman 2 right now and I can't tell you how many times I have threatened to throw the game and the sometimes even the whole system right in the mother ****ing trash. My wife thinks I've lost my mind. Especially when I rave about how cool the game is after throwing one of my tantrums. :)

So how about you?

Souljahh 12-12-01 10:51 PM

I cuss while playing SSB:M.

IC_Freeze 12-12-01 10:59 PM

oh hella ***** yeah

Chris_D 12-12-01 11:25 PM

yup, and hurl the controller about as well ;-)

Dragon Fly 12-12-01 11:29 PM

LOL, I curse like a sailor when i play fighting games. Sometimes with rpgs on a hard boss fight. I have a feeling Thunderball should post in this thread, seeming as he has single handedly destroyed 3 (?) playstation controllers through rage. LOL.

Thunderball 12-12-01 11:32 PM

Yes I destroyed 3PS2 controllers thru rage.

Video games piss me off...but I love em.

uberjoe 12-12-01 11:33 PM

I curse so bad people's ears bleed. With Virtua Tennis I also use ethnic slurs. Yeah, yeah... it's not nice. But so what? Who cares if I insult Germans? I don't, and I have German ancestry.

Nefarious 12-12-01 11:41 PM

Yes, and it pisses the wife off :) She is always threatening to turn off the PS2. She also likes to note that it's the person using the controller and not the game charcter. ******** We all know those ****ing characters have a mind of their own. *******s.

darkside 12-12-01 11:46 PM

****ing Video Games, ****ing piss me off sometimes. I love the mother******* though. :D

Get Me Coffee 12-12-01 11:58 PM

I curse like a truck driver!!!! And beat the hell out of my controller!!!

Also if I'm playing a fighting game with my bro....we usually turn a virtual game into reality as we beat the $hit out of each other.....yes we're in our 20s and still knock each other around.

Don Catchpole 12-13-01 12:02 AM

Someone was saying before that the over 50 crowd doesn't play video games because of the blood pressure aspect. Now I truly believe that. I always swear like crazy and even make up my own swear words. My kids love it though, they think it's really funny when I say "you son of a piece of stinking sh*t"

Outlaw 12-13-01 12:47 AM

lol :lol these responese are hilarious! Although I'm not nearly as severe as some of you others hehe, one of my friends is and it is frickin' ridiculous to play with him.

Like in Mario Kart when I get the shortcut on Koopa Troopa Beach he's like "you b****!" its soooooooo funny. the rainbow road is the best he's like "**** ****** ******* ******" hahaha he's awesome to play with or against.

squidget 12-13-01 08:52 AM

yeah I to swear up and down at the tv. When I play mad dash with my roomate it becomes war. not only do we both scream at cuss at the tv, we also cuss and throw pillows at each other

DavePack 12-13-01 09:07 AM

I admit it, I'm terrible, and I have an 18-month old son so I'm trying like, er, heck to curb my language. But yeah, it's bad, and when my son's down for a nap or for the night, look out. It got especially bad with GTA3--don't get me wrong, one of the best video games I've ever played, but boy, the language I was using. Whew. I think I made up words I never even knew existed.

It's also important for the area immediately around me to be clear of objects to throw. For some reason, I do this more with sports games, but I'll get so mad, I'll look around for something to throw. My wife will sometimes pick up the baby toys from around my area when I'm playing games. :) One time, I got so mad at NFL2K--I was swearing up and down that I was getting cheated--that I ripped the game outta my DC and hurled it like a frisbee across the room. It caught the corner of a wall and knocked away a strip of plaster, which I haven't fixed yet. Luckily, in my fit of rage, the game survived. That was the only time my wife actually took the controller away from me and turned off the system.

She asks me, "Why do you play video games when they make you so angry?" I said, "Because they relieve stress." :)

I'm trying to get better, though, and I am. I've started letting my son "play" GTA3. He's a natural at holding that PS2 controller! Of course, he just pushes on those analog sticks and only has a vague sense that what he's doing is affecting what's going on on-screen, but I did have to laugh when he managed to switch weapons and fire them at pedestrians on his own. Sigh... :D

Centurion 12-13-01 10:59 AM

Hahaha!
These stories are fantastic!
I'm so glad I'm not alone. :lol:

The most recent game to get me boiling is Project Gotham Racing.
I swear (no pun intended), the AI actually improves the closer you get to the finish line. That is, when 8 laps are left, they are about 8 seconds behind. Once there is only about 2 laps left they are on your @ss! What the #$%@ is up with that?! My lap times are consistent so I know for fact it's not because I'm slowing down. This typically happens in the Bonus Kudos levels where the AI is composed of only Ferrari F50's and Porsche Carrera GT's. Those mother #$%@ing b@$t@rd$ will come right up behind you, bump your #$%@ing tail, and make you spin out. Plenty of times I find myself restarting a race just so that I can get up to full speed so that I can ram into the son of a &!+ch who made me spin out in the previous game. After I do that, I restart again and actually play. :lol:

Gosh, I love this $#!T.

joltaddict 12-13-01 11:00 AM

My GF claims that not only do I cuss the whole time but I create completely new combinations of curses. Im stuck on the Battle of Endor in RL right now and this is what she comes home to...

"Mother******** Imperial **** ****** star-*****ing Destroy****er Bastards! :mad:
Son of a *****'in Tie ***** Piece of *** fighters!!!!"

Apocrypha 12-13-01 11:02 AM

Hilarious stories and I have one as well. When the DC 1st came out I rented it right away with Soul Calibur my wife and I were determined to open the entire game before we returned it so in the the middle of the night during one of those exceedingly difficult missions and 100 or so tries I leapt into the air delivering a heel blow kick directly onto the Dreamcast controller it kind of made a cracking noise but there was no visible damage and the controller still worked! We bought a DC a few weeks later and the swore ourselves through Rippin' Riders. Anyway I think games are a terrific outlet for frustrations and for yes escape and relaxation. Thats why I play them anyway.

Adboy151 12-13-01 11:14 AM

Lots of 'Son of a *******' combined with the occasional slamming the controller to the ground. My worst habit -- outside of cursing at these ******* games -- is biting my bottom lip while playing to the point it almost bleeds.

Mother- ******* video games. ;)

mmconhea 12-13-01 12:12 PM

I was playing my friend zak at Tony Hawk 2 (horse), and his is just kicking my @ss and I know I'm better than him, it's just that for some reason I just can't get the manual to work when I need it most. And then he busts in with some lucky crap that gets him the win.

So we were on the warehouse level and I had the best combo going and then all of a sudden I came down from a ramp and went through the floor into some black hole that a bug popped into the game. Well that was it. I took out the game, threw it on the floor and started beating it with the controller. "Tony Hawk you *****ing Dick Sucking Sh*thead- I'm gonna kill your @ss, you punk skating sh*t***** can't manual worth sh*t..AAAAARRRRRRG. Then I proceeded to feed it through my paper shredder and it got stuck so I kicked it over and got trash all over my room.

I was a burn though so it didn't matter.

There's also a dent the size of a NES controller in the basement wall (damn those battletoads!)

Super Monkey Ball single player mode. OMG. I actually posted about this a few weeks ago how that game is the first game after Marble Madness that inspired fits of cursing rage the likes of which i have never seen before.

CaptDS9E 12-13-01 05:21 PM

LOL all funny posts. I also sware , curse, and even sometimes throw things at the tv when playing video games. Best example has to be when i play Madden vs my brother. I curse, then he curses, then i yell at the refs and then he punches a wall. The cycle goes on and on through the entire game. Then we realize we are yelling at a tv

Thunderball 12-13-01 05:54 PM

actually SSB:M right now is causing me cursing fits. I'm down to 3 characters to unlock..and GRRRRRRRR!

I wnat to unlock GAnon, so I busted my hump thru the Event mode, got to the event where GAnon is, and went ahead and tried to play it....I played it 13 times. I actually got to fight Ganon 1 on 1, once. out of all those 13 times...somehow Ganon is better than myself and a CPU partner.. :mad:
I almost lost a cube controller tonite

Trelach24 12-13-01 05:57 PM

No I don't really curse. I spit :(

I spit on anything when a game pisses me off. I usually spit on the wall but sometimes I'll spit on the TV. There isn't much else to spit on but if I can I'll spit on the ceiling as long as it's not directly over me.

Luckily I haven't destroyed my XBox yet because it's brand new. But I have beat the crap out of my PS1 but it still works. I will punch down on that piece of crap as hard as I can but it never breaks.

I love games :)

Rofl! I haven't gotten to this event myself yet but i was chatting with a friend of mine living back east and he was doing this very event and swearing up a storm. He's playing that event, i'm playing Tony Hawk 3 and we're just catching up on things and every so often our conversation is interrupted by him going off on Zelda or yelling about how incredibly cheap Ganon is to fight against. As for me, in that game i almost lost in when i had to fight Dr. Mario like 10 times to finally beat him. Grrrrrr.

viscera 12-13-01 10:31 PM

I get more upset at Virtua Tennis than any other game. I was so pissed one time that I actually punted my dreamcast. Then I got worried that it wouldn't work anymore, but it does, perfectly. These systems are quite durable, try kicking your PS2 I bet it goes to pieces. I rarely throw my controler, I just punch it, the dreamcast controllers are easy targets while playstation controllers are a little too small to get any satisfaction out of. Again I have to give credit to the Dreamcast for the durability of the control. I even put the control on the ground and started beating it. Virtua Tennis is such a great game :) One of my all time favorites!
