I advise against letting a stupid game get you angry and punching a $500 tablet. FML.

If video games are not pissing you off sometimes you aren't a true video gamer, though smashing a $500 tablet is a bit much. Most I have ever done is rip a cartridge out if a console and smash it. Cathartic. I have probably snapped a game disc before as well.

ROTFLMAOPMP!!!!!

Though, I do have to say.....I've been there before with plenty of things in life. Just because it's a tablet doesn't make you any different than those of us who've tossed tools, slammed a gadget, etc.

If it's any consolation....this thread made me laugh!!

It isn't uncommon. I've broken a few controllers and keyboards in my day.

This. I got mad at Madden 2003 for the PC one time and ripped it out of my drive and flung it as hard as I could into my door, where it shattered. 😀
 
Heh, well glad to see I'm not the only one. In all honesty, just gave it a quick flick with my pinky knuckle. Didn't expect it to break. And then I punched it hard a few more times after seeing it was broken 😀.

Was playing Hearts online. Hate people that can't pass protect.
 
I remember being disconnected playing poker once and losing a $92 pot. I slammed my laptop lid shut and the HD got so much shock I heard the click of death. Thank goodness for warranty?
 
Well OP, you can change your sig now. (Or just add, + rage-smashed screen to the stats.)

No, it means you don't have anger and impulse control issues.

🙄

I've never been so mad that it made me lose sight that breaking things means I'm an even bigger loser.

When I was a kid, I went through several SNES controllers. Thankfully I was much less stressful on ps1 and n64 games. I was done with highschool for one.
 
I've thrown controllers, tossed games cartridges, yelled and cussed, but I can honestly say I've never taken it out on my tablet or any display for that matter.
 
I threw a phone against wall once thanks to Candy Crush when I learned that a level could actually be incomplete. What a lazy programming. Thankfully the phone did not take damage.

What game were you playing?
 
I would also recommend getting your iPad a case if you're going to let your toddler play with it. That was an expensive lesson 🙂
