interwhat: Jul 23, 2005; it's kickin in dude

I was playing PUBG a few months back, and a really nice European girl was on the squad. As soon as she spoke, another, presumably a broken, incel child, chimed in, "OK GAMERGIRL FUCKONG EURO TRASH BITCH gently caress YOU!!!!" and disconnected.

The quiver in his voice had me absolutely rolling

taking a game out of the system and preparing to poo poo takes to long to maintain that obscene anger. a true critic should play pantsless squatting above the console.

I had rented Mortal Kombat III from the local grocery store.
$2.10, after tax, in those days. And I was playing with my friend Mark. We never really figured out all the kombos and fatalities and stuff, but we still played and had fun.
Well, up until I found out a few Pro Moves with Raiden. Time after time I would spear Mark's hapless fighters until all hope was lost. Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Busty, all met their ends at Raidens white lightning charged fists of justice that day. "FINISH HIM" the voice would say, and knowing no fatalities I'd just do it again or just gently caress up and miss an uppercut and his guy would fall over.
Finally, amped up on Mt. Dew, he'd had enough. He said "Don't pick Raiden again." My fingers paused on the Character Select menu. "Don't do it." I flicked back and forth. "Dude don't. Don't."
I picked Raiden.
With that he got up and walked out of the room and downstairs, out through the kitchen. "HATSHANANANAKA!" Shouted Raiden triumphantly, spearing the now-unmanned opponent. This would be all TOO easy.
I lined up another devastating attack, but heard some rustling noise behind me. Mark was back. He'd found a small garden trowel somewhere in the garage, and now he intended to use it in his own display of 'Testing His Might' and began to brutalize my ribs and face with the small shovel.
I began shrieking for my mother, obviously as his pudgy, trowel equipped fists rained down on my prone body. When my visibly annoyed and drunken mother finally appeared in the doorway, she hollered to Mark "Jesus Christ, what the hell is THIS? You're tracking mud all over my drat house!" Steve, my mother's new boyfriend (one of several) called up from downstairs that Mark needed to "put that fuckin shovel away and hit him (me) like a man", which thankfully temporarily stopped the assault until the trowel was put back in the garage, the floor swept, and we were given some apple slices.
He'd resume beating me even harder later in the middle of the night using one of my own shoes that he found in my closet, but no one attempted to stop him at that point.

My mom has this boyfriend his name is Steve
I want him so very much to die
But he won't - he stands strong, he stays all day long
And he fucks my mom even when she cries
And i want him very much to die
And yet he's still alive

eSports Chaebol: Feb 22, 2005; Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,

A Japanese investor once got so mad at a videogame that he briefly made the publisher's share price take a dip

https://www.pcgamer.com/investor-ragequits-square-enix-over-final-fantasy-xiv-sells-1-of-the-company/

quote:

Square-Enix share prices took a mysterious dive recently, but what was first assumed to be a misplaced stock sale was allegedly down to the actions of one disgruntled investor, who decided to sell his $26 million worth of shares in one go in protest at the release state of Final Fantasy XIV. It's the ultimate ragequit.

As reported over at Massively , it's estimated that the unnamed Japanese investor sold approximately 1% of the company at an estimated value of $26 million in protest over the quality of the game.

seeing that a company put out a lovely product and trying to pull your money out ahead of the curve isnt a ragequit as the article calls it
if it was a good game and he was just mad at getting his rear end kicked int it that would be it
