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.
what college do you attend ???
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 (http://www.cinemassacre.com/new/?page_id=13), 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.
