Sooo last night Lurid really pissed me off again and I couldn't get my laptop to start up and I ran out of leathery stuff to tear off the arms of my chair so the only outlet I really had was drawing something really pissed-off..... I was so mad I just kind of kept adding more detail and such until I was calmed down enough to even speak again.
For anyone who's curious, what he did to piss me off are as follows:
1: He has this habit of complaining about even the teensiest petty little things in gaming, which I hate. He did that.
2: What he complained about was that it took him a minute (if not less) to figure out where the trophies are on my PS3 (He's not used to using a PS3). In reality, it was incredibly obvious where they are, and it was a matter of his own stupidity and/or unfamiliarity with the system, not the system itself. He also has a tendency to do that when complaining about things.
3: The very first thing that came out of his mouth after he got to the trophies was a comment about how the Xbox did it better than the PS3 (it's a difference of about 2 movements of your thumb). In my book, when you compliment a system's competitor over something it does better, and put down the other system, that's an insult. The PS3 (I have the original model) is one of my top favorite systems. Do not insult it if I'm within earshot, let alone glorify its competitor on top of that. That is a huge peeve of mine, and I have told him not to do that on at least one occasion prior to this. This is about the third time he's done this exact thing and I keep telling him to stop and yet somehow he still acts all surprised and dumbfounded when he does it and then I get mad.
4: A minute later he refused to admit that he said what he said. Absolutely would not admit it. At all.
5: He did not apologize in the least. He did not even admit that he said something he probably shouldn't have said at that time. He still hasn't.

He's probably got the same mindset about it as I do: If I don't believe I'm in the wrong, and I think whoever I've upset is just overreacting, then I won't apologize. In this case, though, he really should have known not to say what he said. This has happened a couple times before.
Well that seems a bit excessive, but I have told him if this kind of thing keeps happening, I'm just not going to let him play games at my house anymore and he can borrow them. It already is that way for platformers specifically. I swear he just reverts into a 5-year-old playing things like Banjo-Kazooie.
"Bullshit I made that jump!" "No I hit you like 3 times!" "This is ridiculous how can anyone be expected to do this?!"
When in reality it's just that he's not good at the game and refuses to believe that.

I realize no one wants to hear they're bad at things, but if you're blaming the game for something that is entirely and completely your fault, that makes you a very bad sport, and he does it CONSTANTLY while playing platformers. It makes me pretty mad to watch someone play a fantastic game and keep talking about it being a bad game, not because the game is bad, but because of how bad they are at it.
i wouldn't get mad at him but tell him you don't like it when he wants to shit all over something and then praise something else. you should make is clear how it upsets you he should understand that. i'm sure he's not use to the ps3 and would more then happy to play his xbox 360. i'm also sure he doesn't like to try new things or use something different.but as i said before you should tell him what makes you upset and anything that might get you mad even if you told him before sometimes people need a bit reminding. but that won't fix eveything its ok to let a few things past but you should have some key rules for whats ok and whats not ok. you should also do something to blow off steam. cause sometimes people don't listen at first or a few times when you tell him. but i wish you the best of luck
