Ok i've known Sav for 20 years (we're cousins so errr makes sense) anyway i went round for a chat and an x box session last night and we got talking about Sav's errrr gaming tempers.
it's not like he's short tempered or anything it's just some games can push him a little over the edge.
lets go back to the early 90's when sav's uncle brought him a nice game for the NES i think or maybe it was the SNES, the game was called 'Marble madness' now this game was one of those so called puzzle games.
it wasn't what sav was exspecting (he wanted gremlins 2 which was a pretty sweet game) but he was polite said thanx and put the game on.
he failed the first level a couple of times and thought to himself 'hmmmm so it's challenging'
after about 30mins of falling off the edge of the maze and hearing that stupid noise the game went through several punishments.
first it was slung against the wall, then later thrown in the bath complete with water! later on it was thrown from a window onto concrete followed by (and the one that tickles me) he flipped big time and lobbed it down the bog and flushed it LOL.
now this kinda made him feel better till the game dried off and he thought to himself 'hmmmm wonder if it still works?' he puts it back in the 'Nintendo Entertainment System' and the game still worked!
anyway moving on to the sav of today, remember he had a game cube for a while well he still has one game which he couldn't trade in. Luigi's mansion. Now it wasn't because he liked the game so much he couldn't part with it, it was because a few ghosts got to him and the game basically wound him up into a fit which had the game disk ripped out of the machine and thrown and the game case was jumped on and sherreded by his bare hands.
sometimes when sav plays a game it's just kinda fun to watch the game wined him up. Like when we played Fifa world cup on the PS2. listening him shout abuse at the england squad as well as the computer controlled team was so funny. sadly none of the terms he uses can be typed here due to the word filter but really it has to be seen.
the best games were the nintendo ones as nintendo games normaly have stupidly hard setting that can't be done but sav will always try and prove them wrong hehe like rouge leader LOL another classic.
all these games i mentioned were mainly of sav being beat by the game and that's the nice way of putting it, some games are just stupidly hard on settings like 'expert' that they just doesn't seem a point to the setting.
when sav wins on the other hand there's normally a lot of bragging which isn't as funny as it's normally me he's beat LOL.
i hope you enjoyed reading about sav's savism and i hope one day it'll be a download on the x box site so everyone can see how games can push certain calm and ok people into abusive monsters.

I guess theres a reason a lot of my friends have associated me with a likeness personality wise to Mr Burns, Darth Vader, the Emperor (Star Wars), etc. ;-)
Thing is theres so much more detail to it all than whats said here but of course the filter limits things. ;-)
Same with the bragging, I could say stuff I do, but its not really the same as experiencing it in person - even on a headset with X-Box Live, it just lacks the visual part. ;-))
Its the sarcasm part of the abuse that tends to have people like my cousin laughing. That and the inventive combinations of words and insults.
Oh and Luigi's Mansion, well, what was left of it, went in the bin.

Rofl, you'll be able to hear him rip off his headset and then the sound of a flushing toilet. Then you'll hear Sav saying "Damn Microsoft, screwed me over again with their headsets too big to flush..."
Hurled abuse?
Urgh! I'll mute him on Xbox Live then!

Sav had/has a Gamecube? SWEET!
I wondered where ~res~ went!
Let that be a lesson for you kiddies, don't play savatt on Xbox live when he gets it.
