Really nice controller, just a lil flimsy and I was pissed.

Hahaha yeah I could see that, sometimes I twist or push really hard on my controller. I had one of those FPS controllers...when I first read your post I thought you'd actually broken a regular xbox controller and in that case I would never play with you on the same xbox lol...xbox live is dangerous enough!

Well - I've got a family of mice living in the kitchen you can have - IF you can catch them, though they seem partial to salted peanuts and chocolate - unforunately, catching the main one isn't easy - he's a master of mousejitsu and refuses to be caught by any trap - even going so far as to manage to turn the humane mouse trap I'm using now over, then stealing the food - (I've tried 'normal' mouse traps - but it always got the food without setting them off)... Still - if I leave some peanuts and chocolate out in the open it dissappears - and I'd rather have them eat that than my computer/power cables :p

The closest I have ever come is banging my mouse on the desk after getting sucked out on in poker. This has happened maybe twice.

I have never broken anything because of a game.

Grinding on a game where levels don't do anything? Wow.

I used to buy keyboards 3 at a time because I'd get so mad playing RTSs online. Age of Empires 2, WC3, they all pissed me off majorly when some 12 year old Korean kid kicked my ass. I don't play those games anymore.

I was once playing an intense 3v3 Brood War game. Everyone had decent or better records, and I of course end up with the one fvcking newb who actual has no real idea what an arbiter can do BEYOND invisibility.
"Dude, RECALL" "What?" "We're getting killed, use a STASIS FIELD" "What is that? That option is grayed out."
My army of fully upgraded lings, hydras and mutas got DESTROYED by 2 opposing players while this idiot and his arbiters had no idea how the fvck to stasis field them until Terran reinforcements from the 3rd player arrived. On top of that, somehow he "forgot" to upgrade his carriers to 8 interceptors! And no weapons, shield or armor upgrades! How stupid can one player possibly be?

Anyway, after that game, I was so fed up with gaming in general (for like 15 minutes) that I burned a copy of Starcraft at the highest possible speed, then took my original, snapped it in half, and used the sharp edges to saw through a piece of wood I had lying around, all the while cursing my head off. I then repeatedly snapped the remaining pieces until all that was left of my former precious Starcraft CD was little bits of plastic (metal?) scattered over the floor.

F-Zero for the Super-Nintendo

so for those of you who aren't in the know, there is an extra difficulty level that is opened in the game after you beat it on Expert ... this magical level of difficulty being called "Master". well, I had beaten every race and won both the Knight and Queen leagues, about 12 races in all if i recall correctly. I had won every race so far within the King league and was "FINALLY" about to win the last race of the game.

I had spent an insane amount of time mastering this game with my cousin who lived with me at the time. we were both unbeatable freaks. Anyhow, here i am, winner of 17 straight "master" races; only one left to go. I'm on the last race. the last lap of the last race; on the last turn of that last lap, whipping around going around 400k mph, when out of no where, there is a drone car just sitting in the middle of the track, which happens to be in the middle of my path. so i pull hard to the right, but in F-zero, when you are going 4000k mph in a pod built for speed, you dont turn so well. i rear-ended the hell outta that damn drone ... and since i had always driven the car that was build for speed and not acceleration, i quickly saw 40000k cars go zooming by me and my precious victory go down the drain.

"oh HELLLL NO!" (jumps up) "FVCK THAT BULLSH!T! (chucks the controller into the tv) "oh you think that's all you're gonna get?" (picks up the controller, swinging it into a big circle kinda like a lasso, and back into the tv, shattering it into many many pieces) "FVCKING GOD DAMN STUPID BULLSH!T!!" (yanks f-zero from the console and slings it across the room putting a dent into my dry-wall) "FVCKIN FVCKING FVCK ... " (storms off down the hall, into another room and proceeds to punch a hole *through* the wall)

dad was none to happy when he saw the hole... i can't imagine what he'd of done if he'd of found out it happened because i flipped out playing my good'ol snes

LOL this is what i was looking for. :thumbsup: hilarious

Same here!

I've never gotten mad enough to do stuff. I've gotten plenty mad, but only when I make a mistake, not when something random happens. I usually get over it within a minute or so.

I've got enough things to worry about without being pissed off about a game.

I broke my PS2 controller before playing Mortal Kombat, damn cheating computer! :|

I've seen my brother throw a fit and slam mice and controllers countless times though, I think he went through at least 3 SNES controllers doing this.

I was playing CSS a few months ago and was getting killed over and over. I'd had an exceptionally bad day so I wasn't in a good mood when I started gaming then. When I died for the umpteenth time I flipped out and smashed my DeCK keyboard repeatedly like a tard. The space bar flew off, but I managed to look at the forums and found out how to repair it. If it was any cheaper I'd have to get a new one I'm sure.

There has been plenty of times that I've gotten pretty damned mad while playing. And I always WANT to throw something, or smash something. But then I make myself stop , and take a break. I can't afford to be replacing $80 mice , $50-$60 keyboards...or $40-$50 PS2 , Gamecube or Xbox360 controllers. I'm trying to upgrade! Not replace the stuff I've got!!

there's gotta be a better way you can say that....

threw my playstation 2 controller across the room when utima/omega weapon pwned me with a cheap hit in final fantasy 8. pissed me off cause i had to do it like 50 more times (my characters were level 100 with their ultimate weapons btw). still works, but i think the left side doesnt rumble.

Oh man utima/omega weapon was so hard, I wasn't 100 yet but was really close, I think that was a 3 hour battle where you are just barley hanging on the whole time....

1 - Logitech wireless mouse was killed in the line of duty. Ended up loosing a really close CS-S match. I was super pissed and launched my mouse across the room. My roommate was just walking into the room when he saw a mouse flying across the room at eye level into the wall. I'll never forget the look on his face. LMAO

Believe it or not, I got extremely pissed off when I died playing Everquest (the original). I had a monk with feign death maxed out, so I would go ape-sh!t when feign death didn't work and I died. One time I got so pissed, I punched the front of my PC case where the plastic covers are over the 5.25" spots. It caved in. I also had to replace my motherboard because it wouldn't even get to POST anymore. Luckily, my mobo was under warranty so I got it replaced for free. :)

Then I decided to play an enchanter and died so many times, I just didn't care anymore, so I stopped getting pissed about it. If anyone here has played and EQ chanter, you know what I'm talking about.
