Games that calm you down: Destroy your computer

A few posts ago I talked about an extremely violent game called Whack Your Boss where you try to find different ways to kill your annoying boss (if you haven’t seen that already you can check it out here -put link here-). Continuing with that violent streak I present to you another game which is just as violent in its own way but involves a lot less blood.

First off let’s set the mood.

It’s a quiet evening, the skies are clear; stars are twinkling and your lover….. Oops, sorry, wrong mood. Let’s try that again.

Has this ever happened to you? You’re working on an important document on your computer (maybe homework, maybe a work assignment or something else altogether); you finish the entire thing after hours of work, you drag your mouse to the save button, you press it and then you get an error message and now your entire file is corrupted, BOOM. All that hard work down the toilet.

You feel like bashing your computer into a million pieces, but you can’t because then you would have to buy a new computer and that stuff’s expensive. For those of you who have faced that situation I present to you: ‘Destroy Your Computer.’

It’s a flash game in which you well destroy your computer. You punch the monitor, smash the keyboard, crush the mouse, slap the CPU, even pepper the entire thing with a machine gun. Pretty much everything you want to do to a computer every time something goes wrong with it.

You can play the game for yourself here.

So what exactly is the point of this game? There isn’t one, it’s just a fun little stress buster that you can play when you have time to waste but have no idea how to waste it.  Plus it’s a good way to let out all that pent up aggression you have towards technology (you do have some, admit it) without actually destroying anything. So let out all that aggression and wjehricikdk, sorry something went wrong there let’s try that again. So let out all your aggression and +/;×(-??-¥-_!(##),?!#(#?!€()??), seriously! Okay one more time. So let out all yo^@*#¥?!÷^#_*($*hwjbcgcuok&($&¥)/(ksmodjdn….
