What do you mean? I do that everytime a unit dies or gets an affliction. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
p.s. I think its loser, not looser? I make that same error all the time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

It would be loser indeed, though looser could apply here: it would mean "freer, more unrestrained...", which seems to be the case too. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
But really, there is no reason to assault your screen. If you feel like expressing your ire after a defeat, it would be much better to have a... talk with the players who beat you, while being more... interesting as well. Erh, forget about that last sentence.

Well, that looks like a lot of fun =P
I know I can get really upset, even at mere games.
My response is a bit more restrained though...
I just stop playing, muttering a phrase expressing my disappointment at the game for doing such a horrible thing to me, something along the lines of (translated) "damn, bleh, Im not playing this game anymore" and end up playing it again later =P (this is said in a very calm tone)
On the other hand there are those times when something really annoying happens, much more annoying than losing, something along the lines of my computer crashing and my keyboard and mouse falling down all at the same time, or maybe my chair breaking (happened to me once, no Im not fat, yes I am sure).
In those rare occasions I just turn to kicking a wall and/or door and/or closet etc.
Long live madness!

I haven't, yet, done anything that drastic. But I have had few times I have wanted... Mainly with ADOM and other roguelikes.

Well...It's a person who I wouldn't be near in a traffic jam http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
I've never behaved like that. I've hissing some minuts after losing LOL, but never like that guy.
One of my friends once smashed his keyboard in frustrations.

I may never have done <i>that</i>, but restraint is hardly my forte.
Sometimes, when I've got a few minutes to kill, and nothing to read, write, or browse, I play a few rounds of StarCon 2 supermelee. Two minutes into the inevitable Dreadnought vs Pkunk Fury matchup, you can hear me "express my frustration" two floors away. To say nothing of manic cackling when I finally slag the bastard.

Hmm... was that Japanese he was screaming? If so, he might be one of the Japanese Super Gamers - in which case, the reaction isn't too far off.
