Really sore losers in gaming that you know of.

For the sake of good humor, any people you know of or encountered that get way too upset when they lose at a game? If so, give some memorable moments of that person in that particular mood.

Me.

On two separate occasions, I threw kids about ten feet after they beat me in Street Fighter 2 in the arcade and rubbed it in.

I've calmed down considerably since.

Obnoxious Excuse of Choice: "I wasn't really trying that time."

[2-4-5_Trioxin]

I used to. I destroyed like a nes and a genesis when I was younger and lacked temper control. Broke alot of controllers in my day to.

Now when I get that pissed I have the control to just shut it off and walk away.

I still dont know what makes me so mad about games every once in awhile, normally I am quite placid. Even if the face of some jerk I can remain completely calm, but just sometimes a game will really piss me off.

My Brother, he once pushed an N64 off the shelf because i beat him in MK4

[bushboy]

I made this one dude pee his pants and scream like a girl in frustration playing Halo 2.

[Demon wizard]

Both me and one of my friends are guilty of this...
A few weeks ago I was playing Soul caliber IV online with some friends from school, and one of them was destroying us, I think he was getting close to his 20th consecutive win. So evectually I just got fed up, pulled out Raphael on the level where you're on the raft floating down the river, and just threw him off the edge three times in a row. He booted me immediatly. :frown:

[Jmacq1]

Never knew the guy's name (well, kid really) but back in the days when there were actually arcades that people went to, in the heyday of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat, et al... There was one guy that used to hang out at the local arcade a lot playing SF II.

Now, to be fair, he was a pretty good winner. Didn't talk smack or get too excited...but when fights started not going his way, he'd just unleash a torrent of obscenity that turned the atmosphere of the entire establishment blue. Ranting, raving, and just freaking out. The only thing that kept him from getting his butt kicked was that he didn't really direct it -at- his opponent. He was just kind of cursing in general.

Of course, I suspect he's largely the reason they posted the prominent "no obscenity" signs not long afterwards.... :tongue:

Quoted for truth. Whiny little babies.

I once destroyed my PS2 with a hammer. It stopped reading the blue-backed discs, then it wouldn't play DVD's, then it stopped reading DVD-games, so I took it outside and had my way with it... with EXTREME PREJUDICE. I felt better. The next week I took all of the loose change I had saved, and bought an Xbox and the Xbox Live starter kit, which came with the headset, 12-month card, and Crimson Skies (that game really needs a sequel). I have to say it made me a fan of the 'Box.

I also broke my copy of Thrasher: Skate & Destroy for PlayStation. I don't remember the specifics (this was around ten years ago), but I got pissed off, opened the PS, grabbed the disc, accidentally cracked it, and a few moments later, was really bummed out about it.

I'm not sure how lenient you guys are on the "no swearing" rule, but the F-bomb is dropped multiple times in these. Just a warning.

My brother, after playing Metal Gear Online, punched a hole in the wall.

He then went upstairs and punched a hole in the wall of his room, out of anger for punching a hole in the wall downstairs.

LOL, same, Our Gamecube was pulled onto the floor more than once when he attacked me for beating him at Smash Bros Melee when we were still holding the controllers. Stupid thing is...he usually wins, whatever the game but the SECOND it starts to not go his way, he is like a beast unleashed, swearing, shouting, insulting and generally just ruining the whole experience.

If I do win, I get a punch on the leg without fail. I seem to have got sucky as I've got older but he's a typical teen gamer. Even if I'm playing alone and he watches, if I do badly he'll either attack me and/or let rip with a tirade of abuse accusing me of "doing it on purpose to wind him up" :rolleyes: . I just don't do very well with big games and map reading!

I used to get insanely angry with games in my youth too though. Nowadays I usually just laugh when I lose...but Mario Kart battle mode often has me swearing cos the team match ups are so unfair at times!

[Black Atom]

I was bad when I was a kid. I got to the end of the TMNT game for the NES and died right at the Technodrome and just went nuts. I walked over and just booted my NES which was sitting on the floor.

[Domo Goddess]

I used to cuss a lot at the arcade, but I never kicked the machine.
I think I broke three PS 2s by hitting them and once kicked a hole in the wall.

[JCAll]

I lost a controller over the Thunder Plains in Final Fantasy X. I don't mind losing and starting over, but once you lose on something for like the 600th trying something that I'm pretty sure is impossible anyway you just have to break something.

All of the Metroid Primes nearly got me too, with that 99.9 "Oops looks like you missed a blade of grass in an area you only get access to for 8 seconds" percent crap.

[Jake V]

My friend kicked me out of his house for beating him too many times in Mortal Kombat 3.


Also, my brother likes to blame the controller every time he fails out of a song in Rock Band while playing it on expert.

[Shawn Hopkins]

When I was younger my mom got to where she would refuse to rent me and my brothers NES wrestling games anymore because playing them would always devolve into actual, physical fights. Once my brother kept beating me and spamming some cheap move and I threw an NES controller at his head. Those things have some sharp corners on them, and it hit him right on the edge and left a pyramid shaped dent in his skin.

Sometimes I get mad enough to scream at the screen, but I was always too poor as a kid and too cheap as an adult to go as far as breaking any of my controllers. The only exception was when I failed a stealth kill in Tenchu 2 for what must have been at least the 20th time. I smashed my Dualshock down on the floor a few times. It must have cracked the case or something, because after that in addition to rumble that Dual Shock often better lived up to its name by giving you a bonus electric shock.

[Wolf-Man]

I guess this sort of fits.

I started playing World of Warcraft about a month ago, after a long time avoiding it. It was ok at first but then I was wanting to go on a quest through one of those hard dungeons, where you need a group.

So I joined a couple of people and we went in, found the first boss and started fighting it. The 'leader' of the group goes to a nearby treasure chest, loots it and then teleports out of the dungeon. Joy.

The next group I join raid this giant monastery, we have five people, me included. I travel half the friggin' planet to get there. We go in, fight through three rooms, maybe 13 bad guys and two of them leave. The three of us decide to try and go on, and do two more rooms before another one just leaves. The two of us who are left can't handle it, so we're forced out.

My point is, why join a raid l like that when you're going to bail out the first chance you get? Its crazy and just a waste of time. I just don't get it.

[Jared]

I don't remember what game provoked it, but my best friend once threw a 32X at my head. In his defense, it was a 32X.

[Young Avenger]

This is a recent one. I had a real hard time getting though the disappearing platforms in the second half of Plugman's stage in Mega Man 9. Whenever I miss the timing on a jump I'd go berserk. I'll throw my controller at the couch, curse the heavensand snaps a couples of sticks in half. MM9 freaking hates me.

I used to work at a comic shop that had two Street Fighter II machines when it first came out. My buddy, who was notoriously not very good but loved to play, after being destroyed repeatedly for weeks came in one day and propped up a wooden baseball bat next to the game that had the words "special move" carved in red. People took the hint......

[x_goalkeeper]

Not sure if this falls under "gaming" but in the football/soccer league I play in there are some whiny players when they are losing. We also saw a team walk off the field with more than a half remaining in the game, and they were only down one goal.

[Mike Pothier]

Once not long ago, I was visiting my older brother in Seattle, and we played Halo 3 on his 360. I was soundly kicking his ass, and he couldn't believe that I could snipe him so often while he was moving. Finally, he just grunts and says, "Well, *I* don't have time to play this game so often." implying I spend all my time practicing Halo 3.

Granted, I play a lot of games, but I just smiled and didn't point out that I don't own any Halo, let alone Halo 3.

Wow, my friends say that to me all the time. I don't own any Halo either. :D

Anyway, I have a friend who's notorious for doing that. He'll trash talk (though he'll apologise afterwards) when he wins, and when he loses his temper is legendary. At CoD4 LAN he actually broke a mouse, but nobody found out until after we left. I think.

[Kaos]

I've destroyed controllers, consoles and games for glitches popping up at vital moments, frustrating bosses and shit. But I've never destroyed ish after getting beaten by a friend.

And this is why I don't play online multiplayer games:tongue:

I tend to curse a lot, but I don't think I've ever broken anything. Yup, that's rage control for ya:biggrin:

[G. Wayne]

Not really video game related, but I know two guys who are incredibly sore losers.

One guy, we'll call him Ton. During a game of Warhammer 40K against another sort of cheesy player a while back, Ton was tickled to be able to finally use his new Black Templar dreadnaught. Now for those of you that don't know, 40K dreadnaughts are fragile hunks of pewter that the owner has painstakingly glued together and painted, they're about the size of a tennis ball, and cost around $40, give or take. First turn of the game, first shot at the dreadnaught, which Ton had put right in front of his army anyway, but the first shot obliterates the thing. With a scowl, Ton picked up the dreadnaught in one swooping motion and tossed it into his miniatures filled case (with minis that were much smaller, more fragile, and just as expensive) that was about 7 feet away.

Ton does this all the time in ANY game, to the point that a lot of people refuse to play him. He gloats and cackles to no end when he's winning, and he scowls and glares and complains if he's losing.

And there's another guy, I'll call him Pound. If Pound loses at a game, off the top of my heads, it's because of any one or combination of the following
-The opponent got lucky.
-They cheated.
-No one knew the rules well enough yet.
-They spent too much time memorizing boards and re-spawn points.
-One dice role disrupted his super Whomp-Your-Ass strategy.
-He didn't draw the right cards in his 96 card multi team/color deck. (When everyone else plays with the standard 60.)
-It's never any fun to play someone that's played a game more than he has.

He nevar, EEEVVVVAAARR loses because his own actions.
