Haha I can't help but agree with this. I have a friends who is a total douche when it comes to games. When I beat him, I never brag or anything but when he beats me, he totally walks off with an asshole's amount of confidence. Even worse, if anyone else beats me he always has to comment on how much I suck. ugh..
Good write-up. I've never fought with a friend over video games. I guess its because I knew I sucked at the majority of competitive games.
I had to post because I love the "Games that destroy friendships" designation. That should become a genre...or has it already?
So, uhhh Ya like Sean do ya?
Also great post. If you wanna loose friends play a card game called Munchkin.

I used to work with a guy that would ragequit all the time when we played COD4. The problem was, he was the best guy on our team, he just couldn't handle losing even a single match even if he had won all the others.
Yep I had a friend when I was a kid who was one of those smug "assholes", he might of kicked my ass with Kitana (he had an aversion for picking female characters in games) in MK2 but I just fired up and kicked his ass in real life ;-)
Nice article. I can relate with some of those moments in my life, for sure. I don't entirely agree with your "Games to Tame the Beast" genre--some of those games can cause as much rage as the friendship-breakers. I can get just as angry, except the controller gets thrown at the computer instead of a friend.
I've got a pretty mixed bag of friends, and we all excell at a certain type of game, so it just depends on which game we're playing who gets to be the "champ" :-)
there was one guy who sucked at most games we played, until I brought home Links 2004 ( original XBOX ), and he wasted all of us in it like crasy, so that was his turn to shine :-)
luckily we all really liked the "golf-chill-out" after several hours of brutal racing action, heavy fighting and shooting so he got to feel great a lot too :-)

I totally understand why you don't entirely agree. These are just a few games that I played with others that had little to no incidences. Thanks for the heads up.

Hahaha, this stirred up some memories from extended Tekken 2 battles in my mates bedroom back in `97, where 7 or 8 of us would cycle through and try and win out. Don`t want to sound cocky, but i was the shit with Law, which is probably because he`s easy to control. Anyway, i`d always end up fighting my mate who would always play as that big, military geezer (Jack?), and I would get a little alarmed as he could not deal with me beating him, and would get proper vexed. And I did beat him. Many times. That mate of mine is now in the SBS (branch of the Royal Marines), so, i wont be encouraging a rematch any time soon, in case he gets as heated as he used to ;)
And Street Fighter 2.....ahhh, nearly lost a couple of best mates to that game too!

Awesome post man. I can totally relate with this. I'm usually pretty busy with school and what not. But since break started I've been playing a lot of Halo 3 or Gears 2. In a couple of instances I've almost found myself losing it. Usually when the the margin of the score is wide or super narrow. A few times I'll almost rage quit, then only to find myself catching up. Then fall behind. I'll never completely insult someone but I'll say something like "lucky shot" or "Omggg, I suck today." Thing is when you're losing there's nothing you can really say that you're having an off day without sounding like a sore loser. I guess the best policy is just to win. That way you'll never have to worry about being a gracious loser. Jk! =]
