i swear at it, i've slammed the keyboard and mouse and have punched the top of the desk a few times. I'm sure I've thrown controllers in my younger console days as well.

i've been mad at games plenty... probably the worst for Links or Tiger Woods on the PC... or Duke Nukem 3D back in the Case's Ladder days... most of the meltdowns probably resemble a 9-yr-old girl suffering from Tourette's.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about. That made me so mad that they did that. I think I made that jump a few times.... It was very hard to land it just right. I wish I still wish I could find the idiot that designed that part of the game.

oooh I hated that shit.

I used to cuss out people on TeamSpeak

I'll see if I can find a recording one of my ex-guildies having a world class flip out over TS, threatening to track down and kill someone + claiming to be the CEO of some multi-million $ corp.

I can get pretty heated when Im playing madden.

I was playing my friend's brother once in Blitz on N64 and I beat him bad. To make it worse, I was talked a lot of sh!t the whole game, so after the game was over, he stood up and punch me in the mouth. I think I was 18 at the time and he was maybe 13. I couldnt believe it.

idk smashed controllers at ridge racer 1 trying to beat the last two tracks which were basically impossible and the slightest nick on the corner and everyone passed you up. Since my teen years my temper is much better.

Ghosts and Goblins.
Enough said. (If you're familiar with the game.)

I threw my PS2 controller as hard as I could. Sony makes some tough products though, and it still works to this day, although the case isn't 100% screwed down correctly.

Yep, the whole series has been that way. And to actually beat it, you have to play through twice :p

I've broken 5 XBox gamepads playing 2D fighting games. :| I've come close to throwing them through the TV MANY times. However I did show control and just broke the gamepad. My friend has gone through countless keyboards. He buys cheap $10 keyboards because he knows they won't last very long.

I don't get really mad at a game, like to worst I did was just kill everyone in the arcade once. It wasn't my fault the controller was broken.
