#1 Two things in life that anger me too often - technology that fails to perform as advertised and politicians.

#2 Just comment that you think gaming is a waste of time and watch the rage blossom.

I have said it for over 30+ years.
Too many Teen games are basically programming teens to be Type "A" over aggressive personalities. Eg. "14 known Mass Murder Gamers"


The constant WARFARE gaming scenarios have programmed them to be more acceptable to mass killing, wrecking havoc and fantasizing of performing deadly/hero-suicidal activities.

They must learn that REAL LIFE does not come with Bonus Lives or a REDO.

#5 They must learn that REAL LIFE does not come with Bonus Lives or a REDO

Annnnnd... Real life is learned by getting out there in the real world. Not by sitting on a couch in front of a flat screen TV. Or in a classroom, for that matter...

#6 Worst I've suffered is annoyance, of the "Really?!?" variety; usually when the designers run out of interesting tactical problems and just teleport hordes of baddies behind you. Referred to as "the cockroach syndrome" in my house. Usually the indicator I need to look for a new game.

Additional research from the University of Eastern Finland revealed that common triggers include last-minute game failures, cheating opponents and out of game interruptions.

Doesn't sound like the game theory failure, but outside interruptions to said theory. Like 3am voting counts.

#9 The constant WARFARE gaming scenarios have programmed them to be more acceptable to mass killing

Just like the previous generations were primed for shootouts in the middle of the street, cattle rustling and sending people to reservations by playing "cowboys and Indians", right?

Sitting on your ass and twiddling a controller or keyboard is nothing like running around and getting into it with your entire body, after all.

#12 Good one Skid.
I don't play games that easily allow cheaters / twinks.
Presently World of Warships has my 'focus'. Although I DO get my butt kicked a lot in some scenarios.

#13 I play a bit of World of Warships, so if you see Silentbrick, that's me:p

#15 I'd go with Profound Lack of Empathy as the cause, who are then attracted to a FPS, rather than the FPS itself.

Video games are rather new; people who slaughter innocents without remorse have always existed and, when they achieve positions of power, try to fill that hole with bodies.

In the last 20 years just about everyone games at some level, and gamers usually have some time put into some FPS.

Hell, some people got so emotionally involved with Pinball games they had to develop The Tilt.

I'll give you a shout if that happens Silentbrick; my handle is different. Will say its tough to get smoked in the first 3 minutes and have to watch some knucklehead wander into the finals and get straight blasted.

I've had moments over the years, so I did giggle at that meme which went something like, "The face I make when I'm on my last controller and get smoked by a noob."

#16 Violent video games are a good start for people who can't jump directly into lighting fires or torture killing neighborhood pets.

#17 I'm on the 3rd sigma cusp.
I embrace rage half the time, and don't game.
