I finally watched this video at home.... can't watch youtube on NMCI computers. This kid has some problems. I would not say that his behavior is indicative of a generation. While kids these days are kinda weird, what generation in their youth isn't in comparison to the previous generations. This kid just has some serious emotional and psychological issues. I mean, anyone who breaks down sobbing and starts punching walls until they break their hand has some serious emotional issues, let alone of something as simple as a video game.

Since I started the whole thing about "generations" with my initial reply, I'll try and see if I can't explain what I meant. It is true that what this kid is doing is not necessarily indicative of a generation, that was a broad generalization on my part, but it seems to be that this kind of behavior is becoming more common. It might very well be that when I was a kid (I say that like I'm not still young) there was no youtube so every dumbass who wanted to make a ranting video couldn't just point, shoot and upload. Kids are probably no worse than ever, they're just finding new ways to prove how hideously stupid they are...I know I went out of my way to prove I was an idiot when I was a kid, so....:)
I'm just 23, so I'm part of this generation, but when I was a kid we acted stupid in other (read more dangerous) ways. We blew stuff up. We made different types of guns: potato, pumpkin, 20 oz bottle. We tried to see how big of a tree we could run down with our pick ups. But in small town Arkansas it took awhile for the internet to move in. We still had party lines when I was in high school...
