Are there any common phrases you say out of frustration when you play games? Or is it mostly just swearing? :P
Some of my common ones are:
"How did you not die though?"
"Are you serious?"
"I just want to be friends!" *While I'm running after someone, about to kill them*
"That's what I thought." *Smug face after killing someone*

I don't have much against the word fuck, either.

I did that on the final boss of Castle Crashers, me and a friend were playing co-op and gotten to the boss for the first time. He had run out of lives I think and so I was going it solo and thought I had beaten him until he unveiled like 15 more final forms that I cursed my way through entirely.

When the heat died down we got a new one with a colour screen so net gain I suppose.
EDIT: This one:
aaaagh the nostalgia it buuuurns
Also few "dang it"s "darn it"s and then after a few minutes of screwing up. "Fuck" "Fuck" "Fuck I am terrible at video games"
The new Magicka moba thing is pretty fun btw
You're my hero. I loved this game. This and Crystal Caves, and Cosmo. That was my jam yo!
but they're listening to every word I say
If I play by myself I just am silent.
Also, CODs kill cam microphone is hillarious. When you get them you hear them saying all of this stuff. It makes running around with just the riot shield that much more rewarding.

I either need to learn a lot of self-control before having kids (which, I'm sure will happen naturally in the course of raising them), or just not play games around them.
I still remember flipping the bird at my TV and screaming "EAT IT, YOU JELLO PUDDING MOTHERFUCK!" after beating Nightmare's final form in Devil May Cry 1.

"Dangit." - Hearthstone when a guy plays a preist
"DAMMIT" - Hearthstone when a guy plays a legendary
"(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻" Hearthstone when a priest plays a legendary after I get him to 1 health
Frustration is more beating my head against a brick wall until I either get lucky and beat it or I stop playing altogether. See: Transistor as an example of the former, Hotline Miami as an example of the latter.
Generally what frustrates me most of all is shitty storytelling or bad characters, where i'm just rolling my eyes and wondering why i'm even playing at all. In those situations my exclamation is more of a "oh god dammit, really?" with occasional heavy sighs.
Please don't use my trademarked catch phrase
Never been more relieved that Freeman is a silent protagonist
If people don't like my posts, it must be lag.
That or they are cheating. F'n hackers.

Usually when I shoot a dude 5 or 6 times in the chest without killing him before he headshots me with a pistol
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I also know my tastes and skill level well enough that i'll know ahead of time when I will not enjoy a game. In that case it would be because i'm bad at platformers that require precision movement so my skills wouldn't get any better through repetition and i'd run into the brick wall situation.
