LOL. I used have a similar attitude toward school. In my Freshma and
Sophomore years of High School anytime I would walk through the school
corridors I would mentally hum the cave or Tartarus theme from the NES game
Battle of Olympus. Then anytime I was in class with a particularly unliked
teacher I would mentally hum the boss theme from the same game and consider
every instance when said teacher didn't address me for the answer to a
question as a strike to the boss' weak point. Of course getting out of that
class when the bell rang was my victory over the boss. LOL.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

I remember after I moved to my horrible new boarding school playing the game
rampage on the Amigar.
For those who don't know, rampage is a game where you play as either a
gorilla, a lizard or a giant wolf man and must destroy the city by tearing
down buildings. Believing that I was smashing up my new school was rather
good fun, particularly since it was a cracked Amigar coppy with a cheat
screen I had infinite lives so couldn't be killed by the puny tanks and
hellicopters sent against me! :D.
Bewaree the grue!

Hi Shaun,
I am sure games work for different people in different ways, but I do
agree it does help in large part with say anger management. It is a
constructive way to deal with ones anger, feelings of harming someone
or something, in a way that is socially acceptable.
There have been many times in my life when I was very angry, very
upset, and I turned on a video game and took out my feelings of rage
upon the virtual game characters. I might beat them senseless in a
beat-m-up or killed everything in sight in an FPS game. Either way I
was able to redirect that anger, that rage, in a way that allowed me
to get rid of it without directing it at a real person.
Cheers!

well I find that playing some of these games just gets rid of the
anger I would have had if I didn't.
So it must work for others in different ways.
