Long story Short, this big dude was losing miserably and began yelling at this frail kid, whom proceeded to back into the wall and tremble, concede the game and pack up and dip.
I have never in my life been so ashamed to be a gamer. This older guy was so upset he was losing a game which was very friendly at the start, ended so poorly.
That's horrid. Feel sorry for the kid, hope that his confidence isn't knocked so much that he won't continue playing.

I had one game of Warmachine at a tournament.
It wasn't a case of rage-quite, just rage at bad dice rolls.
So, this game just did not go his way.
First, he fully loads up both his Jacks. A Sphinx and a Phoenix.
The Sphinx charges my Revenger but he kinda forgot about the Repulser shield and only went to max reach range. So one attack and he bounces away with nothing else to do.
So then he Concentrated Power's his Phoenix and easily charges the Avatar.
Anything but snake eyes to hit of course.
Charge attack. Miss! Ok, that figures but hey he's got 2 more Focus!
Fist attack. Hits and does 4 damage. Not bad for a fist attack.
Buys an attack with the sword. Miss! Its not funny anymore at this point.
Buys last attack. Miss! Much rage was had. The Avatar of course rolled 4 Focus next turn and easily dispatches the Phoenix.
Anyway, my turn stuff happens and I put Enliven on the Avatar.
His turn. The Sphinx doesn't derp this turn and gets 2 solid hits on the Revenger then his Sentinels come in to finish the job. He finishes his turn and such by running his 2 Mage Hunter Assassins close to Harby(they couldn't charge her but could run)
Now he's down to 2 Ghost Snipers. He activates 1 of them and decides there is nothing better to do so he plinks the Avatar. Enliven triggers. And I notice that Garryth is sitting behind a wall with literally nothing between him and the Avatar. So up I go to sit within easy charge range of him. Well now he's done it! So all he can do is run his last Ghost Sniper to feebly block the Avatar's charge.
Well, this guy just couldn't catch a break. Harbinger is unphased by the Mage Hunters as she just calmly walks over and punks one with her sword and one with Cataclysm. "Wait, she automatically hits???"
The Avatar of course rolled 4 Focus. Choir battle hymn up. Vassal Ancillary Attacks him to punk that poor Ghost Sniper. And the Avatar walks up to Garryth, reaches over and makes an attack.
Him- "K, I'm defense 18 behind the wall"
Me- "Yeah, I only need 8s because I'm Mat10"
'Him- "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."
Avatar boosts to hit and, with Dice+7 for damage, lops Garryth's head off in a single blow.

We held a Summer long campaign at our LGS about 10 years ago, which would at that time put me in my mid teens. I played drop Templars back then and the Imperial side was losing the campaign badly. My Templars were tasked with a one-way suicide drop mission to slay the Chaos Warlord. My Opponent: 40something, Massive man, known to clear rooms after eating chinese. Known by various nicknames: Grandfather Nurgle, Flatulence, but my personal favorite is Ku'Gath Set-Up: The entire board is set up with gigantic bunkers, fortifications, etc. and there are dice marking his units (he would place his units once I was in line of sight of the dice) He had a 2500 point force, I had a 2000 point force. I took a Callidus Assassin (back when she showed up anywhere on the board and could assault the turn she arrived) Throughout the game, my army dropped in piecemeal, and while inflicting some damage it was clear that I was getting dominated. On turn 5 (of 6) my Callidus finally shows up and I am debating where to place her, as I have yet to reveal his hidden warlord. I walked in a circle around the board and only then notice a small unassuming bunker with dice on top that I could not possibly have seen on my side of the board. I place her outside the bunker door forcing him to reveal the warlord inside. ALONE. At this point there are about 15-20 people watching the game, all interested parties that had been taking part in the campaign.. The campaign organizer and everyone in the store go dead silent. I assault and kill the warlord and the gentleman goes absolutely bonkers. This was a man who played an iron warriors army that only ever required him to stand up out of his chair to go the bathroom. He rises from his perch like some beast awakened from a deep slumber and proceeds to threaten to flip the table, stringing together expletives that at that point I had only heard whispered in the hallways at school. He threw a vindicator against the shelves, tore the campaign map from the wall and declared a tactical withdrawl from the sector of the entire Chaos force. He finished by vowing to never play me again, if we were paired in a tournament he would forfeit his game. It was glorious. In one fell swoop I had turned the tide of the campaign and to this day at the store they still tell the new guys the story about how I got Ku'Gath to stand up and nerd rage mid game. A few years later, at a different store we were paired up in round 2 of an RTT (official one too, with the gryphon trophy) and promptly forfeited the game, I went on to lose to the eventual winner in round 3.

Epic, just epic.
There was an Eldar player that came to our club for a while.
We have a monthly tournament and whenever he came he would always quit if he lost in the first round. Meaning our judge would have to break out his Dark Eldar to play the odd man out.
We jokingly said he should have his Dark Eldar in a glass case with printing on the front that said "in case of rage-quit, break glass"

I have never truly raged in wargaming, persay (mostly 40k for me and my mates  ), but I will admit, I have had plenty a sulk. Usually against our DE player who loads all of his kabalites/wyches into raiders/venoms, and proceeds to put out 22 BS4 Poisoned 4+ shots on my guys that I almost never survive. I have been doing a bit better against him lately (now that I have started Tau  ), but it kinda sucks when you have about 5 models on the field while he has almost everything intact, and he insists on finishing the game. I was ready to unconditionally surrender, and he wanted to get off the last few shots... That's the kind of thing that gets to me.
One of my other buddies has an old, metal Bloodthirster. Can't do anything to put it together; not hot glue nor super glue works. He then proceeded to chuck it across the room. He didn't rage during anything that was happening in the game, but over a model that wouldn't be put together. He laughs about it in hindsight, though he still can't get it put together.

Only to people who are happy to attach a negative image through association for any meager slight.
In any group of 2 or more people, there are good odds at least one of them is a donkey-cave.
When talking about "gamers", a group that consists of millions (hundreds of millions?) of people around the world, I guarantee there are plenty of donkey-caves to go around. This thread has already had a fair share of stereotypes, from the 'grown men getting angry over toy soldiers' to the 'real life trolling' to the 'noob slaughter' and more. No different from bad behaviour in any number of sports, games, or other hobby genres.
Not that this excuses bad behaviour. I just don't agree with statements along the lines of "this is why ______s have such a bad reputation". It reflects poorly on the person, first and foremost. While outsiders may append this negativity to all gamers around the world, doing so is being a donkey-cave on their own at the same time. Judging everyone who plays a game based on the actions of one person isn't a reasonable thing to do, even if many are inclined towards doing so.

Well, first, a lot of the things tau can do are bullgak, so the guy was right there  and the biggest thing that tends to make people rage in a game is denial of their abilities. Everyone has their army, they like what it does, and they like that it does it well. Now they take that army and they find out that they person they are playing either ignores or counters their abilities. This immediately puts the person at a disadvantage and takes away a fun aspect. I know that I will rarely have a fun game if I encounter the following:
HeroClix: Power Cosmic
Warmahordes: Cryx, sometimes Legion
Magic: Blue Counter decks (or some variation)
40k: Tau, Grey Knights (only because they do well against my chaos army), Necrons, or Eldar
It's not that I won't play against these lists/decks, it's just that I know I will have a less fun game because of it. There are some people that will become unhinged when their fun becomes 0. When my fun becomes 0, I thank the person for the game, tell them I just wasn't having any fun and politely pack up my stuff and suggest playing something else the following week.

heh. The most fun I had playing Star Wars CCG was a bs Timer Mine deck with lots of undercover spies. It kept the opponent from force draining at locations and my mines could blow up vehicles and people at locations. I'd toss in a few space ships for fun. It rarely won, but it caused much rage and frustration!

me ane a friend did something similar with mtg. He had a treefolk deck and I had a white soldier deck. Are game would last for over an hour and it was even odds on who would when what with all the life gain we both had.

Bounding Dark Angels Assault Marine

So my buddies and I were playing a 2v2, space wolves and necrons (just after their codex drop) vs dark angels (me) and blood angels. We were still playing 5th ed and we were playing on 3'x6' table deploying on long edges for whatever reason.
Turn one the necron player moves three monolyths toward, takes and few shots, blows the Lascannon off the FOR. So then it was our turn, I move up three MM land speeders and blow up 2 out of the three monolyths, my dev squad Lascannons kills the last one. The blood angels player drove a single Landraider up with Mephiston almost to assault range. Next turn the necron player tries to go around the land raider with an hq the gets back, fails, Mephiston kills him with a plasma pistol. He gets back up to have Mephiston assault him and kill him again. The kid already pissed off about being neutered goes to slam his HQ sees Mephiston there and stops inches about the models. He moves Mephiston, slames his model, picks his model up and throws it on the ground. Then walks over to it and smashes it into the carpet with his foot like someone would out out a cigarette.
He hasn't played since, that was also the decline of my gaming group playing 40k sadly.

Pretty much all of mine happened in 3rd edition 40k.
During a campaign the first week of play I had a Space wolf player tear apart my army, but because we were playing for table quarters it was a technical draw. He got pissed that it was a draw with a "if you want to play it that way" argument. I didn't learn until a month later that he reported this game as a win for himself when the campaign organizer announced him and one other guy as finalists for first place as they both had won all their games.
Guy #2 was pissed that during the first turn of a game I had one Necron Warrior within 24 inches of his hammerhead. I had one shot, and nothing better to do, so I rolled, hit, glanced, and destroyed the hammerhead. Swearing insued.
Guy#3 was playing his Tau against my Necron. We rolled for a mission and came up with a scenario that should have me hard-pressed for a win. To win with my Necrons had to cross 36 inches in 6 turns (footslogging) while still gaining more victory points than the Tau. He gets first turn. He fails to scratch a Monolith using a hammerhead and three Broadsides. All I loose (after we'll be back) is ONE Destroyer. The monolith kills a squad of kroot, the Destroyers and a unit of immortals kill his crisis suit unit (with commander), and a VoD lord and warrior unit kills off all the broadsides. He instantly packs his things up while shouting about how cheesy Necrons are.

I take it you speak from experience?
It can work fairly well. I had one guy who repeatedly said he didn't want to play a game with me. So I nailed his sister. I was 23 at the time, she was 18. He hated me even more after that. I was always nice to him...although I was nicer to his sister.

This happened to my friend. We were both learning how to play and so we entered into an escalation league at our local store. First round, 500 points, dawn of war deployment back in 5th edition. My buddy was up against an IG list with a bunch of guys and a Leman Russ. Buddy deploys one troop of Necron Warriors at the very edge of his deployment zone (so halfway across the board) and parks his guys on a hill. His turn is uneventful and his opponent rolls onto the board and drops a pie plate onto the Necron Warriors, one warrior survives, shoots the Russ and immobilizes it. Next turn does it again... the IG player had a rough night, my Tyranids ate every guardsman on the board in our game too...

Yellin' Yoof on a Scooter
|
On one of my trips to the UK I played some Magic with the locals at a Clubstore, just some casual games with basic cards, as im not a big fan of "veteran" Magic.
Anyways, a few tables over there was a young couple, the guy playing against an older Dude. Guy had his Girlfriend with him and she had appearantly helped paint some of the models, they were casually talking over the game, discussing about what models they wanted to paint next.
The older man seemed to be pretty pissed that his opponent wasnt focusing his complete attention on the game, and talked in a pretty angry tone. GF seemed taken aback by this, but didnt say anything, her boyfriend stayed calm as well. Cue around an hour later, I was just trading some cards with the other people, when older guy appearantly flipped his "Loosing my mind"-switch.
They were arguing about a dice roll he made, appearantly it landed off table. Older Guy had announced a 6 and picked it up before anyone had a chance to confirm the roll. The younger man was still talking politely and tried to stay calm, which was amazing to me as his opponent not only raised his voice constantly, but was now also talking smack over the game.
Eventually, the Girlfriend stepped in an asked the guy to please calm the feth down and stop acting so childish. The response was "Im not talking to you, b***". I want to note, im pretty sure that guy wasnt sexist or anything, probably just angry and not very creative with his insults.
This was the line. The guy stood up and demanded he'd take it back, or face the consequences. It was uttered in a tone that made everyone inside the club turn his head, mouth agape as this was the first time he had spoken up. Old Guy tried to be the tough guy and didnt take it back, whereafter the couple started grabbing their soldiers from the table and packing up.
A lot of people in the Club were giving the older gentleman bad looks, and he got even more upset. Without looking he slammed his hand down on the table asking them to wait. His hand slammed down directly on top of one of his vehicles, snapping of a turrent and damaging the table below.
He was angrily muttering, until the couple was gone and he had to pay the owner for the damage. After he left the building I saw him slamming the damaged tank into a Trashcan.
I saw him on one other occassion, where he accidentally broke one of the houses in the Club that was used as terrain, again because he was throwing a hissy fit.

I was playing Magic with a friend at school, back in the days of 4th edition or so, and he managed to pull off that one 'Sacrifice an orinthopter, resurrect it, have a net gain in mana, repeat' combo, and use it to fuel a disintegrate, 'for infinite damage.'
For once in my life, I managed to keep a poker face, and said, 'Just give me a number so we can make this official."
He replied with '70,000,000,020,' and that was when I dropped a reverse damage. This was in the days before, 'denied!' was a thing, but that would've been highly appropriate. Turned an interesting shade of red as he realized how his total victory had turned into irreversible defeat so fast.

I had a small army from when Warmachine had just came out, after a few games I completely shelved it as I realized that I really hated the way the game played. (casterkill wee!!)
For a couple years my "friend" has had a complete hard on for the game and kept pushing me to retry it claiming 2.0 had fixed SOOO much of what was wrong with the game and that if I'd just give it a try I'd totally love it. (He's also the guy who smashed his ork boss in my earlier post) He's an overly aggressive player and brings a super refined hard core tourney list to friendly games which only compounded my dislike for the game. He's the stereo-type power gamer and rules monger who's so abrasive he causes other players to quit the game in droves, no matter what game he's actively playing. He's known to all the locals as "Oh Yeah that guy...."
We play and of course he beats the pants off of me, which I was expecting as I have massively outdated units from the beginning of 1st ed and barely know how to play. At first I'm pretty cool but as we're leaving the store he launches into a fanboy flurry Isn't the game better? isn't it great? isn't warmachine awesome? huh? huh? huh?(cue halo awesome reach style excitement) basically acting like he's going to nerdgasm he's so happy about the game.
I look at him and say "here's what I think... " I reach into my jacket pocket take out my destroyer warjack and fling it across the street as hard as I can (aiming for the nearby railroad tracks) I throw him as hard as I can but my aim is piss poor due to my back pack and the model hits the pavement about 8 ft away but has enough force that it skids across 3 lanes to the neighboring curb where it makes a nice spark and explodes into pieces. My friend is completely shocked and tries to shuffle across the street in order to recover the parts. Then I take my minis box out of my bag and dump the rest of my models in a trash can before getting into my car. He freaks out and starts trying to fish the models out of the trash can and I yell at him if he doesn't leave my stuff alone he's being left behind and will have to walk home (which was about 20 miles). He gets in the car and starts to get all huffy about the models when I cut him off and say; in case you somehow missed it.... F* warmachine!.
It was a very quiet ride home.

me ane a friend did something similar with mtg. He had a treefolk deck and I had a white soldier deck. Are game would last for over an hour and it was even odds on who would when what with all the life gain we both had.
I was playing Magic with a friend at school, back in the days of 4th edition or so, and he managed to pull off that one 'Sacrifice an orinthopter, resurrect it, have a net gain in mana, repeat' combo, and use it to fuel a disintegrate, 'for infinite damage.'
For once in my life, I managed to keep a poker face, and said, 'Just give me a number so we can make this official."
He replied with '70,000,000,020,' and that was when I dropped a reverse damage. This was in the days before, 'denied!' was a thing, but that would've been highly appropriate. Turned an interesting shade of red as he realized how his total victory had turned into irreversible defeat so fast.
Not to sure what this means, but it sounds epic.

The goal is to reduce opponents life from 20 to zero. His opponent used a combo that allowed him to cast a spell with infinite mana (game resource) to do infinity damage. He responded with http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=83132 turning that infinite damage into infinite life.

It's a situation like where all you have to do is have one squad of terminators blow up a trukk with one grot inside to table your opponent and win the game. There's almost no way you could possibly lose, until the trukk blows up in assault, wounding all your terminators, who fail their saves, and then the grot waltzes out untouched. Such a sudden, complete turn around is... vexing.

My Opponent: 40something, Massive man, known to clear rooms after eating chinese. Known by various nicknames: Grandfather Nurgle, Flatulence, but my personal favorite is Ku'Gath
Set-Up: The entire board is set up with gigantic bunkers, fortifications, etc. and there are dice marking his units (he would place his units once I was in line of sight of the dice) He had a 2500 point force, I had a 2000 point force. I took a Callidus Assassin (back when she showed up anywhere on the board and could assault the turn she arrived)
Throughout the game, my army dropped in piecemeal, and while inflicting some damage it was clear that I was getting dominated. On turn 5 (of 6) my Callidus finally shows up and I am debating where to place her, as I have yet to reveal his hidden warlord. I walked in a circle around the board and only then notice a small unassuming bunker with dice on top that I could not possibly have seen on my side of the board. I place her outside the bunker door forcing him to reveal the warlord inside. ALONE.
At this point there are about 15-20 people watching the game, all interested parties that had been taking part in the campaign.. The campaign organizer and everyone in the store go dead silent. I assault and kill the warlord and the gentleman goes absolutely bonkers. This was a man who played an iron warriors army that only ever required him to stand up out of his chair to go the bathroom. He rises from his perch like some beast awakened from a deep slumber and proceeds to threaten to flip the table, stringing together expletives that at that point I had only heard whispered in the hallways at school. He threw a vindicator against the shelves, tore the campaign map from the wall and declared a tactical withdrawl from the sector of the entire Chaos force. He finished by vowing to never play me again, if we were paired in a tournament he would forfeit his game.
It was glorious. In one fell swoop I had turned the tide of the campaign and to this day at the store they still tell the new guys the story about how I got Ku'Gath to stand up and nerd rage mid game. A few years later, at a different store we were paired up in round 2 of an RTT (official one too, with the gryphon trophy) and promptly forfeited the game, I went on to lose to the eventual winner in round 3.
THAT. WAS. BRILLIANT!
As for Rage stories. I'll confess of being a bad rager myself. I oncesent a few Starter set Dark Angels flying when I threw a water bottle in fury. But then again I had taken a basic marine squad spam against my bro's Thousand Sons. Ended up just quiting outright. In my defense I've almost always played Orks and have yet to lose as them. So losing was a very new thing in 40K to me

This is in a Pathfinder society game.
Im playing an ifrit gunslinger with a +11 initiative so Im often going first. Now guns hit touch AC(Meaning I ignore armor bonuses) And im firing 2 shots. So I go first in the final battle of a small scenario. I hit with a nat 20 and do x4 damage so I one shot the guy. Everyone thinks it is cool, Im just one shotting a guy while monologuing boss. Not this guy and his little kid. Playing character who often went last so they didnt do much. They get mad at me, saying im hogging t spot like and made his kid cry because they didnt get to do anything. The GM steps into defend me and get clocked. My friend who is a bouncer Then lifts the guy by the collar and tosses him out
