    So, losing at vieo games sometimes is funny, but other times it is reaallly annoying and make you want to destroy everything around. It is NOT about the hardest game that you played.

    The questions:

    • How you handle losing?
    • Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?
    • Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?
    • Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?
    • Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage? (I have one that swears everytieme that someone kills him at Call of Duty, recently, like 3 days ago, he was killed with a Bazooka. I CRIED after laughing to much because he spent like 40 minutes talking about the other guy and the damnable weapon xD...good it was soo funny)

    • Q: How you handle losing?
    • A: I handle it well while playing with others. If I get "upset", it's in a humorous manner. If I'm playing by myself though, I sometimes legitimately get upset and have a tendency to bitch and complain with heaps of profanity.
    • Q: Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?
    • A: ALMOST ANYTHING ON THE NES, JUST GOD
    • Q: Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?
    • A: Not sure, but it sounds familiar. I've played other "unfair" games like "The Unfair Platformer"
    • Q: Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?
    • A: Something that's meant to be easy like a Mario game.
    • Q: Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage?
    • A: If humor is implemented in the appropriate way, then I don't mind. If people have a serious rage fit, it gets to be annoying.

    How you handle losing?

    To be perfectly honest, it depends on the game I'm playing and who I'm playing with. If I'm playing alone, I'll yell sometimes and curse at my game. If I'm with friends, I'll do the same because I know they put up with me. But if I'm playing with strangers (like at a tournament), I can keep calm and collected and be a good sport.

    Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?

    *stares at Super Smash Bros* *stares at Call of Duty* yes.

    Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?

    -sigh- to be blunt, yes.

    Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?

    Super Smash Bros, because I love the game so much and I'm pretty bad at it XD

    Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage?

    Not really, I don't have any friends that get mad like that. I do love playing Doritos Crash Course with a friend because it's rage-inducing for the both of us 8D

    How you handle losing?

    Well if I'm playing against someone, I get a teeny bit upset. If I'm playing against a good friend, I get upset. It's a rivarly! >:D

    Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?

    I don't really think I've played games where there are things that keep tracks of death/loss stats.

    Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?

    Yeah. They don't really make me angry like those videos you see on youtube. Honestly, they're not that irritating. Maybe if I was forced to pass it, then yeah.

    Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?
    Terraria. Even after I'm post-WoF and can easily defeat the pirates, the Giant Turtles and Ice Tortoises destroy me. And the Jumping Beetle things.
    Showdown. This one is because I'm not too good at Pokémon competitively. :P
    Risk/Axis & Allies. Occasionally, my friend will have a gathering and we play Risk or A&A. He's a genius when it comes to WII history, especially about Germany. This causes him to go berserk when I capture a part of his land.
    And, although I've not played them in a looooooooooong time, CoD/BF/Any FPS.

    Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage?
    Not really. I my friends don't really rage (excluding my Risk friend).

    • How you handle losing? It totally depends on the game. I don't mind in Fire Emblem, but I really really hate it in Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I boil a lot internally.
    • Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing? I'm actually really really bad at some games such as Phoenix Wright. Even though I love it, I lose all the time.
    • Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario? I'm not exactly sure what this is, but I know that Battle Toads was a really hard game that I played.
    • Any example of game that annoys you when you lose? For some reason, it irritates me the most to lose at Nintendo games.
    • Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage? I'm that friend that people like enjoying rage, so I don't know the feeling of watching somebody else.

    If I've been losing a lot, I'll definitely be more frustrated. Losing/dying every so often I can handle.

    Jeez, I've killed myself sooooo many times in the Jax and Daxter games because it's sooooo easy to mistime a jump and plummet into an abyss. I also suck supremely at racing and shooting games.

    I don't know what those games are.

    Um.... I dunno. I kinda hate when I die in the Jak series, mostly because the checkpoints are occasionally really far apart.

    Not really that I know of, haha. That is kinda me if I blow my top though, haha.

    Hey, you have to lsoe to know how to win, am I right? Anyways, I just laugh it off & give it another shot later.

    I'm really bad at F-Zero GX & racing games in general.

    Yes, I play those sort of games all the time.

    Any game that makes it seem that I'm going to win, then makes me lose at the last second.

    Personally, no, but my little sister gets REALLY mad when I beat her at Monopoly.

    How you handle losing?
    If I'm playing a solo game by myself, there's a good chance I'll probably be annoyed depending on the severity of the loss and what game it is. If it's a multiplayer game, though, I'm always a good sport to my opponent, tell them "Good game" after each match, and the like; nobody likes playing with a sore loser, after all. And I always genuinely mean it; I don't mind losing against friends now and then, since it's always more about the fun!

    Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?
    Mario Party, and any other luck-based games. I'm good at most of the mini-games, but there's usually something that'll happen during the course of the board that winds up turning things against my favor at the last minute. A really infuriating example was when I last played Mario Party 6: we were playing on the Fair Square board, and I'd had 11 stars by the last turn of the game... until a CPU landed on Round of Miracles on the very last turn, and I had to give the computer all of my stars. ;~; Needless to say, I didn't win the board or any bonus stars besides Mini-Game Star and Coin Star, haha.

    Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?
    Yup, including Unfair Mario itself. Very tricky!

    Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?
    The aforementioned Mario Party, if I suffer a ridiculous loss like the one I described. Smash Bros. and Mario Kart can also fall under this for similar reasons - in Smash's case, I only get annoyed if my opponent doesn't play fairly. Super Mario Sunshine also deserves a mention for some of the Shine Sprites, like the infamous Secret of the Village Underside.

    Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage?
    Watching some people's rage over losing usually amuses me! One of my pals is not always a good sport when it comes to losing, but unfortunately their poor sportsmanship isn't funny. :c I'm still a little hurt over a time when I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl with them online, and they took their rage out on me because I was winning too much for their tastes.

    How you handle losing?
    - It depends on how many times I've lost. If it isn't that many times I don't get so angry but if I continuously keep losing then I get angrier and angrier...

    Which was the game where you have high stats...at losing?
    - Don't Starve. I've died on multiple occasions and have stopped playing altogether because it is more amusing to watch my sister struggle to survive the game.

    Have you ever played games like Unfair Mario?
    - No, none that I can recall.

    Any example of game that annoys you when you lose?
    - Rayman 3. That's the only one I can recall. Don't Starve too.

    Do you have any friend that hates losing and you enjoy looking at him/her showing his/her rage?
    - My sister. She goes all out. Sometimes she has tears in her eyes because she's so frustrated.
