When you play a computer game, do you...
Oras na para bumoto uli! Kaya tigilan na ang pag-ngalutngot ng kulangot at birahan na ng pagboto, beybeh!
Ahem, anyway, yeah, it's poll time again, and here's another poll for you killjoys to vote on:
When you play a computer game, do you exhibit any reactions? Like, do you swear, cry or throw things when someone frags you? Do you talk to the monitor if it was a real person who has done you wrong? Do you groan, moan or gasp when something bad (or good) happens in the game? Or are you one of those stiffs who play games like it was an interactive funeral?
Choose all that apply, as I am sure most of you do a combination of these things - maybe all of em...
So ... as Sly Stallone would say:
Yo. You. Vote. Now.

What a great thread! Great Idea laggy.
I voted for "Mutter "What the ****" to yourself over and over again?"
I use to go crazy, I would bang the desk and hit the monitor. But then I learned that it is just a game so I do not get upset anymore.
Now my brother on the other hand has to be the funniest person to watch play CS. When he dies he will freak out. He smacks the monitor, and throws the mouse and keyboard. We have already gone through 2 mice and 1 keyboard because of that

I voted for the first three and the second to the last. Which one(s) apply depends on the circumstances of my death. IE bad pull everyone died, getting resisted and gaining agro, no one healing me, no one taunting mob off of me, sheer stupidity either mine/the groups/the puller/or other people training my group/

It depends on the game and if I'm playing online or not.
Most of the time I say somethign to the effect of you suck, but not in so nice terms.

Depends on the game and how into it I am at the time, but I voted for, "Swear and talk shit at the monitor", "Groan, moan or gasp", "stare at the monitor, silent and open-mouthed", "Mutter wtf", "call someone a haxer", "just keep playing"

Megaman X2 and X3 are awesome games. Heh. Anyways, it really depends on what game I'm playing and how I lost. Most of the time, I just close the game or go play another game.

I voted "play as if nothing happened". I don't react much to losing, or wining for that mater. I tend to get lost in the game play....not the end result.
Opps..got to go..the Hearst has just arrived.

I tend to swear and talk shit at the monitor sometimes, especially after a long day. I also throw things around, though never anything valuable. If I break something after I've thrown it around then I swear some more, and in that case both apply.

By my post don't get the impression that I'm a bad poor sport, I actually have to be in a bad mood to get worked up about a game.
The only game I've found myself get really pissed off at was Warcraft III, because I wanted to do good and I always ran into bad luck, or at least that was my opinion.

I don't normally talk outloud when I'm by myself, but when I'm at the computer it's different. In deathmatch-type games, I hardly flinch when I die, since I do it so much.. but when it comes to single player games with hella difficult missions that take forever to complete, that's when I get angry.
though I never hit or throw any equipment..
