I couldn't really think of anything else that was an experiment that had to do with computers, and unlucky me the one I chose has barely any research done on it already, so background research is a pain.

Thanks for your input!

Re: Rage Quit Survey

Also some more from my experience:

The enemy being able to take more hits than me
An OP weapon that everyone's using
In games like FTL or Pokémon there's the annoying missed hits that only ever happen to me
Terrible controls, like if I want to run away from someone in PvP I'll start having a seizure and only run with one foot (Notch is creative with his bugs)
Things that make you think "Do the devs even play this game?"
People with 500 ping that fly around the map at light speed
Clearly hitting someone in Mount and Blade but not doing any damage
Being bugged off a high spot into water or something equally annoying
Server admins who completely unbalance the game to their liking/advantage
Watching myself die when I notice the axe that killed me is floating in mid-air because it didn't even touch me
Taking a step then getting shot by a sniper as soon as you spawn
Being run over as soon as you spawn
Game devs who don't know how to make better AI for harder game modes so they make them do more damage or have more health
Hit boxes that are 5x as big as the model
Team-mates who don't quite grasp the idea of a gun and walk in-front of you then rage that they got shot
Medics who heal other medics when there's injured about
Being on a team of 3 people against 30 because team balance is too mainstream
Losers joining the winning team every match resulting in every other game being won by team 1 and the rest being team 2
People who don't fight and instead sit there and argue over kills
Killing someone then 10 seconds later being killed by their missed attack
Team-mates who insist on being in-front of you then stopping
Team-mates who try to be helpful by running in-front of you when you're attacking someone
The apostrophe key being bound to the console, pressing it requires you to close down your text box losing anything you've typed (UDK games)
People who've bought their way to your level meaning they have better weapons
IGN rating the game 9/10 making you buy it to find that everyone who's playing it is having problems with bugs and lag and nobody's having fun

There's certain games which I only ragequit on, Mount and Blade (MP only), Chivalry and Tribes: Ascend, mostly because they're so unbalanced and/or laggy it just turns into who knows what weapons are most OP.

Re: Rage Quit Survey

Survey for the initial background research is done. You can continue doing this, because it's always better to have more input (I'm going to keep on updating the results about every week.)

Re: Rage Quit Survey

I'm making the experiment right now, all that I'm going to say about it, is that it's tic-tac-toe in javascript.
I never knew AI's were so hard. So far I have the first two turns done, and 40 if else's. I estimate that I'm going to have 250 if else's in all (mostly being the 3rd turn and the 4th turn, in which I haven't started yet). Although I could be wrong...

Just bumping it so people know the survey's still open.

Re: Rage Quit Survey

I don't always rage quit on video games.

I ragequit once on basketball. When I was something around ten or eleven, I was at a basketball practice, my idiot coach was yelling at me and not giving me any chances to improve, and my moronic teammates were giving me a really hard time. So one day, I snapped and yelled:

"IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME ANY CHANCES, THEN WHY AM I STUCK HERE WITH ALL YOU IDIOTS PLAYING THIS (bleep-bleep) SPORT!"

And I just walked out of practice. After that season, I never played basketball again. I suck at it, I tried to get better at it, and I did somewhat, but my "team" wouldn't believe it and just gave me an even harder time.

So I quit altogether.

Sometimes I tend to be very aggressive in real life. In P.E. I lash out at other jocks, call them "stupid" or "future McDonalds employee". When I'm bothered by something, I snap at those who I respect, such as my friends, classmates, and even my semi-girlfriend. Later, though, I apologize.

So, yes, I do rage quit a lot.
