Do you swear when playing HL and other games?

I'll swear when I get frustrated, for example in TF2 say if I had an unlucky run of respawning, dieing quickly to a headshot, respawning, dieing quickly from a crit, respawning and then dieing quickly from a backstab.

I'll also swear when lag or other issues beyond my control affect my playing experience.

Lastly, I'll swear if I do something stupid - especially if I've told myself repeatedly not to do it, in CS for example I have an annoying tendency to try going Rambo and then dieing, even though I must have told myself a million times not to do it.
 
I think everyone will agree with me on this, but I think when you have a regular problem (keep dying from getting shot, or are doing a hard puzzle or facing a hard boss), it's never near as frustrating as a bug preventing you from going any further in the game. Those are the worst kind of video-game frustration Period
 
"No no no no NO WHY WON'T YOU ****ING BURN? **** YOU PYROKINESIS!"

"Cheating bitch take those fire extinguishers off your mother ****ing suit! NOOOOOO!"

"Grenades spamming bullshit! Who the **** though it would be good to include A.I. Implant in this game?! Do over dammit! STOP IT. I CAN'T EVEN GET UP."

"No no NO I SAID FRAG AND CLEAR NOT RUN OUT AND GET DEAD. GG"

"I hit you in the face with a damn steel girder. What is this shit?!"



Among other things.

OH god DAMMIT I hate that. With emphasis on the "I CAN'T EVEN GET UP." part. It's always bullshit when they do that.
 
It's like this see: 3 MPs come running into a room with NO SPACE to manuever or take cover in and they begin thrwowing grenades. Characters ragdolls into wall. Another grenade. Ragdoll over a counter. Dead.

Dead from the grenades? No, from HITTING THE ****ING WALL TOO HARD. **** you Midway Chicago, you and your A.I. Implant tech.
 
not much anymore, i used to a lot, but i dont like swearing much c i replace it with words like muffin or crudhumper
 
Not often in single player (and if I do it's a whisper), but in multi-player, well, I can get pretty pissed, but I can control it if people are around.

Also, don't be an ass to your mom, OP.

I don't swear to others, but a lot to myself. Lots of cursing, angry sarcasm, a few racial slurs. I'm not above calling my computer a n*gger if it slows down in the middle of a firefight, killing me.

I do that too! At first I thought it was kind of strange and was trying to figure out why I immediately resorted to calling someone who kills me a racial slur, but after awhile I don't care anymore and just let it out. :p
 
I stuck my middle finger up at this Gunship I just destroyed. It made me feel hardcore.
 
I rarely get angry while playing MP games anymore. But I still swear a lot.

Every death in CoD4 is a "fuck!"
 
I never swear when playing HL games. I like to keep the realism of Gordon Freeman being speechless throughout the whole game. No matter how angry I am.


No, I kid, I swear a lot, especially when you are trying to move during an intense moment and you can't get around something, like a wall, or a ladder, or a box, etc.
 
In COD4, I was going into the TV room with my mates expecting to see the "Al-Saad" guy (can't remember his name) and heard it was just a recording. Then I swore with happiness that the game wasn't gonna end soon. :)

(Still playing COD4! Currently just finished entering the tv room and realizing he was not there. This game is epicly awesome, other than the fact that it runs at 25 fps on my 8600Gt with shit load of lag and stutter)

Yes. Shit getting in my way always results in "**** off"
Especially when it's something like an inch of a window frame sticking out of a wall and it stops you dead. ****.
 
Yeah, that and other people blocking you when you're trying to run away from a nade. :flame:

*runs through the door, almost gets hit by incoming bullet* shit, AWM! *runs into the door frame* no, no, no! *dead* FFF****!
 
You really ought to be slapped for telling your mom to shut up...

And no, I never swear whilst playing games. While I don't play very many games these days, I don't think I ever really did get THAT pissed at a game.

When I get frustrated with a game I just... Ye know... Stop playing :|
 
No, and I'm surprised so many people swear because of the stresses of a video game.
 
Never angry, but some profanity when it comes to MP.

That and I too, use racial slurs, although usually it's due to being on the wrong-side of lame tactics.

"What a jewbag"

People yell at the telly during sports matches.

It shouldn't be that surprising. Emotions run high when heavily engaged in something. Converse to swearing, I've also been known to jump out of my chair and shout in victory, pumping my fist in the air when things are going great.

Well... I still swear when doing that, actually. But it's more "**** YEAH TASTE THE MOTHER****ING OWNAGE" instead of "GREAT ****ING JOB, VALVE. THANK GOD YOU DESIGNED YOUR ****ING GAME TO CRASH EVERY 30 MINUTES. PEACHY. BRILLIANT. **** YOU".

I've NEVER gotten that emotional about a game D:

I don't get it. If you're that frustrated with a game that you've begun to swear, then why not just STOP PLAYING?

Unless you mean like, the reflex sort of swearing, which doesn't really indicate a general mood, rather an immediate reaction.

It is more reflexive than anything. I mean, I'm certainly pissed about something, but I can still be having fun. It's not the same thing as throwing your controller at a wall when faced with an impossibly difficult problem in a game.

But stop playing? Stop playing? Are you gonna lie down at the defeat of a piece of software like a bitch?
;) I guess pride comes into play. No matter how frustrating it may be, you're gonna keep going until you beat the som' bitch.
 
I swear as a daily basis...so does my parents. Swedes swears alot

The only game that makes me swear is CS, mainy because I let my pride get involved. And once I lose I just can't quit, I have to satiate my hurt ego.

What is it with bashing Jews these days? I know you personally don't mean it, but apparently it's now "cool" do be a racsist antisemitic asshole online.
 
He's Mancunian, it's second nature to him to tell his mother to shut up.
 
I swear almost every time I get killed if I don't realize how it happened.

When I got headphones I started swearing loudly. /laff
 
I swear at video games more than anything, haha. I've been hacking away at the harder levels on Peggle and I've actually started swearing at it.

Yes, I swear at Peggle. :(

How many time do I have to say this to people? I AM A GIRL!!! I lead the female revolution, for smeg's sake. (even though it completely fell apart very fast). Doesn't my name (Iron KAT) give it away that I am a girl? I will not tell people again.
 
Like a sailor, especially multiplayer. Fuckers won't stop moving.
 
I swear a lot if no-one else is in, but if I'm not in the house on my own then an unconscious switch flips and anyone and everyone is a wide variety of extremely rude words.
 
So you swear a lot when you're alone, but you also cuss when nobody's around? :p
