Ben Affleck can handle losing a video game. Apparently, it's the commentary afterward that gets him.

The actor told Jason and Travis Kelce on their "New Heights" podcast that younger players regularly beat him in online games, then make sure he hears about it.
Affleck explained that he thought he could compete in first-person shooters, only to find himself getting taken out by players he described as 12-year-olds.
Then comes the trash talk.
When those opponents taunt him and criticize his skills, Affleck said he responds with some choice language of his own. His account included trading F-bombs with the young gamers.
In other words, an Oscar-winning actor can still find himself arguing with a kid through a headset.
The clip captures Affleck describing the exchanges to the Kelce brothers. These are verbal arguments during online play, rather than physical confrontations.
The story offers a different kind of competitive setting for a podcast hosted by two brothers accustomed to NFL opponents. Affleck's opponents may be considerably younger, but he described them as more than capable of beating him.
Their advantage doesn't stop him from answering back.
Anyone hoping to recognize Affleck in a future gaming session will have to keep guessing, though. His gamer tag was not disclosed.
