    ...and everything in between. ^_^

    For as long as I could remember, I have a friend who has always been a raging lunatic whenever he lost a game. Whenever I went to his house, I would always ask first and foremost, "So are you playing Starcraft?" If his answer was yes, I would leave and see him later. The reason was because Starcraft always made him lose his temper. In fact, he broke his $200 gaming keyboard by smashing it against the corner of his desk, then broke another $300 gaming keyboard by throwing it against his closet and broke another $300 gaming keyboard AND $500 monitor because he punched them both and kicked them into the wall which made a hole.

    Imagine how it felt when our group of friends went into a heroic dungeon in Wrath of the Lich King while under geared? He was the reason, most of us suspended play time in WoW.

    Anyway, what sort of MMO gamer are you? Are you the Raging Lunatic or the Zen Player?

    For me, I rarely throw a temper tantrum. The closest to one resulting from in-game failure was me letting how a long sigh and closing the game.

    Holy cow, that's a little insane. I can see why you would just up and leave, I would too.
    My uncle used to be kind of like that, but with console gaming, if he died/lost he would throw his controller at the tv, can you imagine how confused 6 year old me was? Yeah, pretty baffled.

    But for me, I'm a pretty calm gamer for the most part, I don't really rage, I mean, I have gotten a bit butthurt, and stopped playing, but nothing extreme. I don't even understand why people yell over a game, I mean, c'mon, calm down a bit.

    I don't lose my temper in multiplayer games, but I'll sometimes lose it in single player games. I know, that's kind of backwards. I see no reason to get angry when a real person is beating you at a game. I just don't like feeling like I've been outsmarted by a computer. It makes no sense.

    I never rage actually, not unless there's money involved in a way. We used to do bets and when were losing because somebody is not following the 'rules' we've made to success we usually lose our sh*t but not to the point that we break stuff, Jesus that's really way off.
