Gamer Rage is Amazing

I knew someone online who expressed his rage by blowing wildly into a harmonica. It was the funniest shit ever seeing him die then hearing harmonica noise blasting over the mic and it made everyone laugh and not take everything so seriously

Gamer Rage is a special kind of rage, gone in like 30 seconds and very confusing to anyone that hasn't experienced it before

Charlie: "I'm always looking for scapegoats" Also Charlie: "YOU CALM DOWN. IT WAS A MIS-INPUT"

"the addictiveness of games is not the rewards, but rather the denial of rewards" I 100% agree with this, I find myself wanting to play game after game when I'm doing bad or not progressing because I want the gratification of doing good. Ill keep losing and getting more and more angry but I still wanna keep playing just to have that one good game. Its easy to stop playing when you're winning, but once your start losing you fall off the high horse and do everything in your power to get back on it.

Rule #1 when gaming: Never go full dolphin.

"The same I thing do with my 2 year old" was a huge revelation for me unironically. When someone's getting upset and baby raging, you can't reason with them like an adult, you have to literally baby them out of it lmao

Gamer rage is real phenomenon, was playing Yu-Gi-Oh once and instead of yelling “Fuck you” I yelled “Fuck me”. Had to sit down and rethink life at that moment. Middle school was a wild time.

"you've sacrificed the best years of your life" is a tough sentence to hear in any setting

Games are made to be emotionally gripping, add some stakes, a kid transitioning into adulthood and some underlying trauma and you get the perfect gamer storm

Everyone experiences "gamer rage" in some form but experiencing it alone is one of the most isolating feelings I've ever known. It comes and goes so quickly but can give off a really long lasting and poor impression.

Charlie is so brave to be able to just disregard the sound of the ghoul breaking into his home at 3:07

I know gamer rage can be hilarious and entertaining to watch, but some people take it too far. I've had friends who throw games, rage quit, or even let it affect personal relationships and it suddenly becomes the dumbest, stupidest, most immature shit. I think you can read a lot into someone's character by how much they are affected by a trivial event in a make believe virtual world.

I think what makes gamer rage so funny is just how pointless it is in the grand scheme of things

I’ve never commented on your videos before but i have to on this one. I’m a 60 year old female gamer and my first system was atari ( that i still have and it works). Over the years i’ve had about every system and a couple of gaming computers. I got my son into gaming and my grandsons. My son turned into a rage player and moved back home when i had cancer. Imagine being sound asleep and hearing that. Sometimes i feel like smacking him upside the head for almost giving me a heart attack. I don’t understand getting that mad. Granted I never really got into cod or fortnite or first shooter games but i play to relax not to raise my blood pressure or give myself an aneurysm. My grandsons now in their teens are starting to rage as well.

I played at a CSGO LAN a few weeks ago and the shit talking was wild, everyone was really friendly when they were not playing but when we got into the server, friendships were ended lol. Another thing is that it's the hype of playing with your teammates in person and discouraging your opponents because the LAN centers are REALLY loud.

How did that first guy not distract his teammate??

Once after winning a 3 VS 3 game in Age of Mythology I told an angry guy "it's just a game" and everyone raged at me including my team mates.

Whenever I rage, I almost immediately laugh at myself right after, because it’s so silly at what I’m allowing to make me so damn frustrated when I look at what’s really going on. The rage is just an initial reaction before I process what’s happening. Maybe it’s like that for others too?

I've noticed that people tend to get angry when they are embarrassed. It's like they need to justify why they did something stupid. This is why, to a certain extent, road rage is usually initiated by the person who drives badly or dangerously; they know they messed up and are embarrassed by it. So not liking the feel that they've made themselves look like a fool, they try to blame someone else. In gaming, they invest so much emotional energy in the game that if - like in any - something goes wrong then they overreact. They then become embarrassed they've overreacted by something so trivial so they overreact more and so on.
