I was playing buffy xbox game, and it gets very frustrating with the camera angles......and I was so pissed at times that I throw my controllers onto the ground, it bounces back up and finally land. One of them doesn't respond while the other one got fvcked up analog controls. DOH!!!!!!!1

Random question kami, you gonna do covers for TTT when it comes out on DVD?

As far as the controllers go...anger management. ;)

Speaking of throwing away money, I left my brand new $25.99 fitted NY hat at a luncheon today. There went $25.99.

You should replace them with the new Logitech Cordless controllers. You will be able to throw them further without the stupid cord interfering, and they cost almost 3x as much to boot!!!! ;) :D :confused:

Smashed the hell out of my PSX Dual Shock Analog controller. Out of all the consoles I've ever owned, only one controller has been destroyed.

My coworkers have anger management problems too. One smashed and broke a fairly pricey (at the time) 3com nbx IP phone, and another pounded his fist into a sun keyboard. We still haven't found the 5.

I was playing buffy xbox game

I have to admit that even I have broken a controller by throwing it. I just kept the old, broken controller and now when I need a controller to throw, VOILA!!! - a nice pre-broken controller that can be thrown without guilt!

I am also a video game rage-a-holic. While I haven't broken any console controllers yet, I have gone through 2 keyboards and one retractable keyboard tray on my desk :( Most of this was caused by losing badly at Age of Empires, I have since stopped playing most RTSs.

WTH? Buffy was ridiculously easy. I beat it in less than a week! Now Splinter Cell... that game got me pissed enough to almost punch a hole in the ceiling!

My PC gaming is done with a SpaceOrb 360, they stopped making these about 3 years ago. They are rather fragile and I'm down to my last two.

I just got UT2003 to work with it and I'm giving the one I'm using a real workout.


New purchase price runs around $90 when you can find it. :( I'm headed to e-bay as we speak.

Screw that thing. Just use a keyboard and mouse. :D

The last time I threw a console controller, it was a NES controller. It has been a long time. :D

Splinter Cell on the other hand is definitely very easy for me. I guess I'm more used to that kind of games, been playing MGS2 for a long time.

My ex-roommate actually broke a PS2 because of the controller throwing thingy. Good thing xbox has that easy break off connections.

My friend came over and got pretty far with buffy using the busted controller which makes the camera spin around the character all the time. big buffy fan.
