Losing at FIFA can be a supremely frustrating experience, as evidenced by this kid who literally launched his PS4 out of the window after conceding a late goal to his mate.

A dude named Elliot Hackney has come through with another fine example of people taking their gaming way too seriously, sharing this voice note he was left after beating a total stranger on FIFA.
Elliot set the scene (as told to Mashable):
I was losing 2-1 and this guy had been speaking down the microphone all game. Just along the lines of ‘yeahhh have that’ and ‘tell your mum how crap you are’.
Then I scored 2 very late goals in the 90th minute to win 3-2, so I grabbed my headphones and laughed hysterically down them.
Then this happened:
Smashed some fella on FIFA and he sent me this voice note. Am dying

Not happy is he? The scary thing is he actually sounds like he legit wants to slice Elliot up for beating him 3-2 at FIFA. I get that playing FIFA can be an intense experience but come on man. Hopefully he hears himself going viral and realises what a twat he’s being.
And just in case you’re a bit FIFA-obsessed, better heed this guy’s warning.
