Sun Tzu

I’ve been a gamer since the Atari 2600. On through Commodore 64, and then it was Apple IIe. Now I use PC and Xbox. I can say I enjoy them and like everyone else the reason is their fun; right? Now and then I play a game that really pisses me off. When I play physical games with friends, I’m a good loser. When I lose a certain games it infuriates me. I start thinking the computer is cheating- I know that is dumb.
Lately I’ve been playing Midnight DUB for Xbox and have had a revelation, it’s probably time I put games down for awhile.
It seems when I play it’s almost like an obsession. Not because I spend allot of time playing, but because I know I’m going to end up getting pissed, and end up walking away frustrated. That’s not true enjoyment, but yet I feel like I’m pulled into having to play it.

Anyway I wanted to know if there was anyone out there that has had similar emotions over a game or games in general. Have you ever got so pissed you broke your system or joystick, or whatever?
