wow that kid has some serious issues or he's just screwing around with a camera! I wonder what he was playing!!

[Jimbo282]

That kid is a nutbag. I've been heated up playing games myself but not outta control like that kid.

I can't help but think that most videos like that on the 'net are staged.

I wonder who will pay for the broken pc with these people smashing things and such.

[Paul Stanway Jr]

I guess he was using a dial-up internet service. :p

I like the first video better. :)

looks faked to me

looks faked to me

It does look like it is, but there are people like that. I had a roomate in university with a VERY short fuse and a destructive temper against his own things. He was playing "Wing Commander" on day (ya, I'm that old) and couldn't get passed on mission. He picked up his monitor and smashed it right through the drywall. He wouldn't care much as his parents always bought a brand new replacement. But man, was he unstable...

No doubt in my mind they exist , i have also seen two that stick out in my mind. But the reason i single this one out as fake is just the kid's body language and the fact that this came out after a slew of other crazy gamer videos.

I have never even had an urge to throw a controller and i have played some very difficult games.

[Jimbo282]

I remember back in the day when I got my first original gameboy I played that like it was my job and I used to get frustrated and smack the screen off the forehead :p I don't do that anymore hehe but the beating that gameboy took was impressive and it still works to this day.

I played a coworker in a match of starcraft. I wasnt great, but good, but he didnt know what he was doing, I guess. So I snuck in 3 ghosts behind his base, and dropped 3 nukes, and during the explosion, he threw and broke his mouse.

Words I thought I would never witness. :(

Law , perhaps not everyone has the same "impulse control " as you do .

I still play some PC games but I find some games just look better on my xbox 360 with my HDTV. Also, I find some games much more challeging on the 360 then PC. Example Call of Duty , much easier to play it with a mouse thus i prefer to use the game pad on the xbox360 , (although i am aware you can get pads for the pc ) I just find it looks better on the HDTV.

I saw that one a long time ago but theres a worse one with a kid playing Xbox Live swearing slapping amd hitting the TV it get worse because a friend calls him up and he flipped out and was screaming at his friend saying call back later. I admit I found it funny but it really shows you how badly tempered kids are today not that I am very old but I have never lost my temper over a game.

Although there are funny ones like FPS Doug (I think is his name) who mock how serious some people are about gamming.

I do play PC Games I have to admit I find games more additive now then before. I find the game quailty has gone down for the PC because of bugs and glitches getting out of hand but Online play I find makes a game more fun.

Well thats one point i bring up whenever someone says "It looks better on PC"
does it? it looks like crap on MY pc.....
The problem is that not everyone has a high end PC so when people claim it looks better on PC , well how much do I have to pay to have a game look amazing and run perfectly?

I dont worry about that with 360 games.

oh and try out the N3 demo, I love it.

Im not a big game player and i bought 2 sports games. Even though i dont like hockey or soccer i thought i would get them to pass the time and i enjoy playing them.

Those games are NHL 06 and Winning Eleven 9

[Sims2]

Wow, calm down kid! I cant imagine what his face was like when Germany lost the world cup! Do you think this kid set it up or did the camera just happen to be sitting there!:)

Don't get me wrong..I love my PC games as well but certain games I prefer on the 360 and yes you are right , to get as good qaulity or better you have to fork out a lot of money for a high end gaming system that you have to upgrade every year I would hazard to guess, whereas with the 360 I am betting it will last a good 5 years or more.

YEAh.. The PC is great as long as its TOP END.. once it gets a lil old i perfer the console.. simply because games are optimized for consoles easy as that..

though my RIG still runs every game out there well :-)
Good ole ATi
