No, my wife is used to my random profanities that come from my mouth when playing games (or talking about work). Not tourette's, though, just colorfully expressing myself in the quickest way possible

I do pound my fist on my desk if i am in playing with a particularly useless team in UT2k4 CTF matches. (Fortunately, my desk is pretty solid )

Nothing is more frustrating than getting owned because you are the only one on the team with any concept of how to win the game.

Exactly. I actually have seen a Tourette's "sufferer" playing video games (fighting games) at the arcade before. It was both slightly humourous, and a bit sad at the same time.

A friend and I once remarked that we should practice our "fake Tourette's", just because it might come in handy sometime.

Even without the aid of Tourettes, I do swear a lot at video games, sometimes. In my younger years I've smashed a good number of keyboards and a few custom-modded joysticks too. I've realized to treat my hardware with a bit more respect these days. Oh, and plus, this IBM Model-M13 keyboard that I'm now using would likely fight back if I tried to assault it. You don't F- with big black ... keyboards... you just don't. Not if you want to continue living.

Sadly.. I managed to break my Model-M recently while playing WoW... not due to frustration in the game.. but because my friend was being a complete bonehead in real life The keyboard still works for the most part.. but the space bar and the backspace key will never be the same Also.. I'm missing the cover for my , key still. If you find it, let me know.

what kinda game? fopping game?

 

[CalamitousSoul]

Yes, and an occasional "STFU"

 

[RelaxTheMind]

I do that on occasion. Only when I get stuck in a death loop where my last save game is far in the game but i have low life and with no weapons. Leaving me to keep perfecting my way around without getting killed.

shiz

Yes, I'd admit I have lost IT to the gaming induced infamous tourettes syndrome. Its really hilarous when you get a match together on TeamSpeak and you hear others inflicted with the same disease. "DIE! $(*#$&% DIE! You #(*$&% spawn killers!

For those of you who chat wit headsets. It could be much worse as others around you may think you're just CRAZY when you talk, laugh and curse at the monitor.

 

[Atomicus]

use to when I was on a CRT.... now I can't get mad at my lcd baby :heart:

 

[Colt45]

I always swear at my computers. Not usually when gaming though.

It usually involves the shell and me not knowing how to do something

 

[digitalsm]

I used to but I Ive stopped gaming. Maybe I just grew out of gaming, but most games these days are frustrating not fun.
