For many of us games are a way to distract ourselves from real life, but sometimes our competitiveness follows us into the virtual world.
Rage is a very real thing that happens often in gaming, especially in online multiplayer. Over the years some heated moments of uncontrollable anger have been caught on tape, ranging from competitive blowouts to objects being destroyed.
Below are some of the best gamer rage videos on the internet.
1. Flash Flash Revolution Makes Guy Break His Monitor
TeRa: Maid of Fire is an extremely challenging song to complete in Flash Flash Revolution. This guy nearly completed it with a perfect score before cracking under pressure.
Instead of deciding to try again or take a break, his first impulse was to pick up his keyboard and smash it into his monitor. The result wasn't pretty. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
2. Classic Counter-Strike Rage
Published nearly 15 years ago before the age of YouTube, this rage video is one of the originals. It shows a player's hilarious reactions to being killed in competitive matches.

RIP monitors.

Some of us are more competitive than others, clearly. As seen in this video, a young Ukranian kid can be seen losing his emotions over losing in a Counter-Strike match.

All I'm going to say is make sure your volume is low when watching this. Super Saiyan mode is serious business.
