    Oh yes. Mostly just talking to my pc, trying to inspire it to great deeds.

    My parents have called the mental institute numerous times, but they figured it would only get really bad if I'd go out in the streets on horseback wearing a linothorax slaying random people, calling them filthy Getian barbaroi.

    I don't yell any warcries, but I do yell "Damnit!" and "You idiots!" quite a bit when trying to get my phalanxes to maneuver properly.

    Yeah, I get frustrated and swear a bit too, but when I see those cowardly barbarians running before my proffesional soldiers, I grin and let out a whoop of triumph!

    I once contemplated shooting my computer when it would not load EB. Purely to put it out of its misery, you see.

    Hey, it's my computer, my house, my property, and a free country. I can do what I want.

    As for verbal irrationalities, I only occasionally swear after CTD's and the such.

    When you attack a settlement/stack: "TO ARMS!!!"
    When you start the battle: "FOR HONOR!"
    When the battle turns to your favor: "feh, now this is my catch"
    When you order the glory charge/cavalry charge: "WAAAGHHH!!!/FOR <insert faction>!!!"
    When you chase the routers: "KILL MAIM BURN!!! KILL MAIM BURN!!!"
    When you get a heroric victory at the end of battle: "VICTORY!!!"
    When you CTD after the battle: "@#$%^&^%$#@#$%^&............"

    Thumbs down Re: RAWR!!!!!!

    Damnit. That was originally my balloon...
    Anyways, if a battle doesn't go my way, yeah, I can get pissed off pretty bad at my defeated troops:

    "I can't f-ing believe those stupid sons of b****es. F-ing ***holes. Go rot in prison and burn in h***!"



    Losing a battle in EB is one of the few things that piss me off in life. And it happens now and then, too. It really sobers me and and slaps me in the face, along with the phrase: You're a mortal. Act like it.

    I sometimes tell my men to stop acting like idiots and do what I tell them to.

    And I also tell the enemy that they are idiots and really shouldn't be milling about like that.

    They never listen.

    I know what you mean. Especailly when they stand side on to some cheap levy and get butchered, and just ignore you.

    Seconded!

    There are some efficient expressions in Bavarian to motivate ze zoldiers! Something like "Free beer for the first man on the town square!"

    I only get/got honestly angry as soon as one of my 50 reinstalls CTDed at the exact moment after choosing a faction.....

    Yeah well, I do sometimes. Mostly when I get a ctd after a great battle, or when my soldiers disobey me and get slaughtered afterwards, or when I charge with my cavalry. I really never expacted that so many out there do the same as me, like talking to their pc or yelling/shouting/swearing

    I tend to give short grunts or barks of displeasure, punctuated by the odd "HA!" or "Huzzah!" when I'm winning. Other than that, I just fart.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    COD4 is where it comes from. Addicting game, that. I play it often (not as often as EB....).

    Yeah, I generally yell "WTF?!?!" a bunch, either at my pc, or at my own men or the enemies quite often for one or the other's stupidity.
