I need videos of crazy people playing video games.

Hey all, what's up?

I was wondering if you knew about some videos of crazy kids playing video games. I have a presentation about it next week @ college.

I think the crazy german kid is the winner, although he's a bit long. I also remember another kid playing Unreal or CS (older vid) and then he's like smashing his monitor with his fist, but it's a tragedy as he is hurt by it and doesn't really smash it hard, even though he is vividly upset. hehe

Anyways, any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Boom headshot?

First choice for opening video, not really a kid though

This video has LOADS of angry gamers, rip it and cut it up i say.

That crazy German kid was proven to be a hoax some time ago. He staged that video for something, I forgot what, but it's not genuine "freak-out" footage of him going nuts. Gotta keep that in mind if you're going to use video as proof of anything.

Seconded. No need to prove it, as a german one can clearly hear that it's a fake.

Sorry I have no video, but I did throw a controller at a wall once. I was playing Madden 2005 on my PS2 and the game was pissing me off because I could not rush the ball and I was always getting intercepted.

I still have the controller, but I don't think it is usable. I can shake the controller and hear little parts moving inside.

From that one video is the reason I do not play games online. People can be such asses.

I did play UNO on the Xbox360 one time with other people and I had my mic on, and people were bashing me for no reason. To this day, no more online UNO. :'(

What came to mind was the Angry Video Game Nerd, which although he pre-writes it and then acts it out for the camera there's some good footage of him putting on an amusing 'angry' face whilst playing.

Again though, not a kid.

It's psychology what I study, and it's for a paper I wrote about kids and video games. It's not all black what I wrote in. It actually concludes with more positive features than negative with impact on you cognitive and in some researches on your social skills.

The german kid, actually the video I want to present doesn't have to be genuine, but more an example. It just has to be plausible.

The 10 min compilation isn't bad, I believe it has all I need, just in a strange order. I'll search the compilations on youtube some more, or maybe I'll just choose from there, now that I know under what to search. Don't know why I was looking under crazy player.

thanks all.

edit: haha, stupid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg28yENvrBg&feature=fvw
the first part is actually believable.
