Ever get so angry you wanted to smash something?

A gamer in China who lost a League of Legends match was so mad with his teammates, he smashed his head through his computer monitor.

That's right, through.

The gamer was playing at an internet cafe in the city of Lanzhou.

Needless to say, he received head injuries -- and the screen was also left with a pretty sizeable hole.

According to the Lanzhou Morning News, the shop owner confirmed that the event occured last Thursday.

The images have gone viral on Chinese social media site Weibo -- where some netizens weren't exactly sympathetic.

"Wow what material is his head made of? Steel?" one asked.

But it's this user that really says what we're all thinking:

"Is this really necessary? It's just a game."
