How Seriously Do You Take Video Games?

[QingXin]

Yay, first topic on the Power On board :) :) :)

Anyway, I just wanted to know... How seriously do you (yes, you) take video games? Do you rip your hair out if you do poorly, or do you brush those nuisances off your shoulders, and just keep playing?

Personally, I don't take video games too seriously. I'll get frustrated now and then, but that's probably the pinnacle of it. I don't have tantrums and throw my controller at my console :| :| :|

Post away, kids :D :D :D

I don't really take them that seriously. Sure, I get mad if something goes wrong.
And maybe I might get really angry,so  I just go do something else for a while. ;)

I wouldn't say that serious, unless I am playing friend and there is money involved(Such as a bet or wager).

Depends on the game and/or the person I'm facing.

I hurt people occasionally, ask Lichi >_>;

Normally I get angry at something annoying, but not generally at people, unless it's really stupid.

Like Zelda reflecting Thunder.

Depends on the day. I'll get fustrated if I'm trying to get a Full combo on a song and I miss one step.

This.
I also take RPG's seriously.

Both of these.

I only take RPGs and MMORPGs seriously and that's only because I want the strongest possible character in the game.

I try to get the best equipment and spells for my characters and if I lose or sell a weapon by accident I get mad  >:(

[Triforceman22]

not very seriously...

But there are some moments in the NES Super mario bros. that just piss me off :P

Oh, and doing a really hard challenge and failing sometimes makes me angry.

You know it's a game but you get mad off at that one thing you can't beat.

[Linkman]

Depends on the game and if it has online play or not.

There's just something about knowing you're losing to a real person that makes you get annoyed...

[Mystic]

Depends on the game.

I get annoyed knowing I'm losing to artifical intelligence  :-\
