You know games are taking over your life when... they make you angrier than a wasp in a jam jar that's suffering an intolerable migraine. And is having her period
Angry gaming is not a new phenomenon. It's just that, thanks to the rise of the Int3rN3t, it has become a widespread spectator sport for the gaming community. But as much as we love spying on undiluted human rage, if games are regularly making you want to kill your keyboard with white-knuckled fists of fury or bawl voice-chord shredding expletives at complete strangers, then you are being consumed by the dark side of gaming. And the dark side leads to hypertension. And that is Not a Good Thing.
Apoplectic gaming is no fun. Terminate power. Inhale. Exhale. Look at fish. Look at breasts. Look at anything that clears the red mist from your vision. Not only is angry gaming bad for your health, it also makes you look and sound like a complete twat.
The movie below illustrates the indiscriminate evil of the dark side of gaming. This kid has barely exited the womb and already the virtual demon has begun its malevolent consumption. Give it another few years and he'll be another odious voice in a headset, stuffing unwanted four-letter words into our ears. Let us pray for intervention. Or exorcism.
And if you want more angry gamers, see the happy vibe well and truly pissed upon by this lot.
