Topic: Nintendo Hate Anger Issues Help

Most of my friends are constantly bashing anything Nintendo related including Wii U and I tend to get really angry when they make these comments, sometimes to the point where I want to throw a chair at one of them. They say the usual stuff like Wii U is underpowered or 3DS sucks because it's from Nintendo. Does anybody go through this to? If so, how do you cope with the anger? Thanks

Yes,this has happened to me at times. When i was little i just tried to convince them they were wrong and that nintendo was cool.Didn't work out .
Now i just try to ignore them and remember they are stupid. They only play FIFA and COD

You think that maybe your friends are doing that because they know you will explode?

I was bashing Nintendo before it was cool.
If you let little things like that get to you, then you have a real social problem.

Good points. I try not to let it get to me much. Maybe it's because of the PS4 announcement that I'm feeling like this...

... Nah, I'm just easily upset sometimes.

Kick em in the teeth.

Or actually, just make a good argument. If they say stupid crap like "Nintendo is kiddy" say "Because birds and pigs are totally symbolic of maturity" or "I don't have some weird fetish to see soldiers getting shot in the head, I prefer saving women and shooting aliens as a hot chick"

This thread is perfect for you, you really have anger issues :/

I was joking when I said kick someone in the teeth. And I enjoy a good argument before ad hominem.

I hate most of the people at my school to begin with so like I'd give a single funk on what they think about games.

I have a friend at school who is a die hard Sony fanboy. He is pretty one sided and prefers graphics or gameplay and believes most future Multi-Plat games won't come to Wii U, because it is underpowered. Anyway the good news is he is a handheld gamer and while he constantly fights me the Vita is failing and it feels good when I tell him that it is dead. Anyway if you can't handel the heat get out the kitchen if they bug you enough just walk away for a while. That is what I did today, because the PS4 was announced and he can't stop talking about how great it will do and that it will slaughter the Wii U and on and on.

Exactly

Own multiple consoles.

The Vita isn't dead yet though.

Back when I was on IDF and I always talked to people who might be into gaming, I found that no1 I met there liked nintendo, they all liked sony and its fifa games(pro or whatever it was). Maybe it was just my base back then who knows, but I got the feeling that whenever I brought it up they got the impression i'm talking about children's games(like mario games):X Of course at some point I stopped talking about it, and I never really cared. I like nintendo, that's all there is to it=)

More importantly don't take their comments too seriously, if you do that they might stop at some point?

I don't see how this is an issue. They're video games. Toys.

Ignore them or find better friends.

This is so true.

It's sad how playing certain games is a status symbol in schools.

Chair didn't work? try a table! ok I have a serious answer too you could try relaxation exercises that can help with anger as well as stress and anxiety, such as deep breathing and muscle relaxation techniques this site seems to show what I'm talking about

PRO TIP: Enjoy the things that you enjoy, and don't let other people's negativity bring you down.
