What is your relationship with your monitor and keyboard?

Maybe TS will be on these monitors one day too. Please watch whole videos:

when I was younger I could relate to a lot of these gamers but now that I'm an old man I take things more in stride.

I'm used to get angry when something bad happens (e.g. dad starts downloading mail while i'm leading IRT -> big lag). Luckily my reactions aren't any close to that.

My keyboard isn't very safe when I play PB in a semi-serious match, though: if an opponent dribbles me by doing a move I predicted, I might get very angry and hit the keyboard with my hands. I must admit that I got a solid keyboard

In very serious matches (competitions), I keep the concentration even if I make stupid mistakes. No way to see me hitting the keyboard in those cases!

ruining a good lap due to driving a few pixel too tight makes me writing some "iodsjfölaissdlkjksd" stuff, but in these cases it feels like i'm just angry about myself for kinda 2 seconds maximum

while on the other side, paying for someones else mistake or random bad luck can f*ck up bigtime...

smallest is getting a visit or a phonecall during a somewhat important race or cup and you start to loose concentration and do mistakes...

biggest is losing plenty of places in rough racing cups (even they are unimportant and you would win the cup anyway) by getting randomly hit in a crossing you could have maybe avoid, but the other guy, half a lap behind, was clever enough to ruin his own lap/race by pushing you offroad... and instead of winning by a huge gap you suddenly hear you thinking "get out of my fking way" while facing a mass of cars driving right into you and instead of getting back at own road, you just keep on getting pushed more far away from it and get almost last place instead of easily winning the race. that definately makes angry for a minute...

and that kind of bad luck in rough racing makes a lot of people angry, i've seen^^ - lately one driver even said he's gonna quit sliders due to feeling so much hate about it

though, losing pots in poker of couple hundred dollars due to opponents mistake still keeps making me more angry^^

I get angry only when we play full contact on stupid crossed tracks. That's reason of my I insistance on moving those tracks out of there.

I never hit my keyboard or monitor, but I think it could be bad too (It's not good to keep that anger in my self). I could kill my mother or dad one day without any reason.

My favourite here:
- 1. video (6,56sec) and 2.video(5,16sec)-triangle, triaaaaaaaangle

- 1. video (7,48sec)-power hits
- 2. video (5,47sec)-I'm not fu... screaming, this is my normal voice.
- 2. video (7,11sec)-...........

I don't ever take my anger out on my hardware, I work to buy nice things and I don't want to harm my stuff over a game. By the way, it seems most people in the videos have shitty keyboards... I have a nice one so I take it easy.

Usually I get pissed off if I'm interrupted during a league race. Knocks on my door, phone calls, any noises really. I think I'll used my e-drumming headphones from now on because they cut out sound.

Oh and when I get a pop-up on my desktop asking me to update some unused software, and it minimizes TS. It happened in a GPOR F1 race some years ago, when leading. I had the win no problem, and then my desktop appeared with a spysweeper window. Everyone knows I don't win much, so that really sucked. Fortunately I got a couple wins in that league.

Years ago playing FIFA games on PS2, I would get the most angry. Progress in long tournaments, and in the final it seemed your players started to respond slower and do dumb things. It was out of my control and it pissed me off, I sent a few TV remotes across the room. They only cost $5 to replace though.

I guess I get pretty pissed when playing Call of Duty on PS3 too..... If my team loses because I should have done better..... FFFFUUUUU*****KKKKK. Tied 3-3 in Search&Destroy, the last alive on your team....

hahahah, I finally saw that today when we wanked with anti. That reminded me immediately on this post.

I like your way of expression. I will take it from you sometimes.

My first reaction was to the high number of Swedes in the first video.
However, that didn't affect me... What a F!"#¤!!!!11
