personally, i'm a mouse man. i've destroyed at least 3 mice in my many years of gaming, all met a sudden end during quake 1 and 2 clan matches. i know that's really not much. some have better stories. let's hear em.

You kill mice when you're angry? ..... The most I have done is punch a hole in the wall during an intense MLG Halo 2 game when a stuck grenade didn't kill the person.

ya i used to. i'm a tech for a living and we always have tons of mice at work that will suffice for gaming. since i've switched from fps's to mmorpg's no mice have died. imagine that.

oh..... THOSE kind of mice. You sounded a little disturbed for a minute there.

no i would never hurt little real mice! im talking the plastic kind...

One time a bunch of my friends were in a counter-strike tournament at a lan party. We were all dead, and our one huge noob-ass nerdface loser friend was the last one left. He crouched to defuse and it wasn't defusing. We sat there for a full 10 seconds screaming at him until the bomb blew. The problem? He had...>>>UNBOUND<<< his use key from 'E'. WHY? "I didn't think I would need it".

What I felt like doing would have involved spending the night in an Orlando jail. What a big noob...

My friend had the same problem but with Techmo Superbowl on the classic NES. After the fumble he yanked the game out and grabbed his shotgun. That sucker got blasted.

Old room mate smashed his Key board down all of the time. He was playing EQ once and did this, but happen to smash a pen. It broken open and flew across the room sending ink all over my walls, my desk, computer screen, etc. . I was pissed, as it was my house. I made the d!ckhead clean it all up.

that describes me perfectly

I've broken AT LEAST 4 XBox controllers (I've got a few as spares) and I think I've cracked a keyboard in half. Better than my friend though. He's broken COUNTLESS keyboards and gamepads, and has destroyed his desk and cut his hand really badly.

We'll right now my speakers are dented and broken becasue i punched them several times. Also, I punched my laptop several times, and eventually last year I go it a little too had and broke the motherboard. However not to worry my college pays for this stuff, and i got it replaced the next day :p. IF i didn't have unlimited free replacements i might nto punch my computer as much, but since I do i jsut take it in every time i kil something (so far I've killed a motherboard, hard drive, screen, 2 keybaords, battery, and of course the outer case twice). Yay for free replacement parts on a free computer :p. If you are a DELL customer and mad at your prices you should probably tell them this is not a good policy.

I've complained about Wizards in Dark Age of Camelot for forever. God damn Mythic sucks ass at balancing. Now EA owns them, so it's going to be ten million times worse.

Any time I get angry at a videogame, I stop playing. It's a fvcking videogame for pete's sake. There's no use breaking things over something so retarded.

I've slammed the mouse down hard on the desk several times, pounded a few keys on the keyboard, and pounded the left mouse button. Everything still works, although my left mouse button is finally acting kind of worn out but hey the thing is a few years old now its to be expected :p It still works but not as responsive as it used to be.

One time I missed an AWP shot during a CS match, smashed my mouse until i broke the left button off, than punched a hole in the wall.

I also destroyed my keyboard tray by kicking it after losing a war3 RT game, where I would have gotten to lvl 20 (back when levels beyond 20 were extremly rare) but my partner sucked so bad that I ended up kicking the ****** out of the bottom of my desk.
