Goldeneye on N64. A summer of ridiculously competitive games almost every night with a rotation of a bunch of friends. I think we went through 7 or 8 broken controllers. Wasn't always anger either, we just played so much and so hard that the joystick would stop working.
I remember Goldeneye.

One word "Tenochtitlan". Just when I'd get to the end some idiot would whack me from behind and I'd have to start the whole thing over again.

My worst would have to be when I'd nearly completed the level and had invested roughly an hour on Double agent meticulously ensuring I didn't get killed. I completed the level with nearly no health only to remember I'd forgotten to deactivate some cheat earlier, making the entire accomplishment void.

When my Oblivion game froze after 10 hours of play, only to discover that my brother, who was using my file, turned off my autosave option because he didn't want to wait for the saves. I lost 10 HOURS of game play!

The second to last mission on any SOCOM game. For some reason the second to last is always the hardest. Which is why I have yet to beat SOCOM one. That and I just hate the fucking gameplay of it after playing 2, 3, and 4.

In GTA, from the first one to the 3d ones (dunno bout IV tho) they put in the annoying thing where you accidently scrape a cop car and get the entire police force on you. Yet no one reacts if you run around the city carrying a bazooka!

After trying about 30 times to get through the final mission in Call of Duty 4 on Veteran, I finally get to the very end, and I panic and shoot the hostage in the head. It took me another 30 or so tries to get back there and that time I really did shoot the right person, thankfully.

Also, fighting any character on SC3 on one of the higher difficulties. Anyone who's tried this knows what I mean. It's the only time I've ever thrown the controller as hard as I could at the ground.

transformers game based off the 2007 movie

who thought it would be a good idea to make you refight every drone youve ever fought(except for the seeker with flame throwers)while your chasing down optimus and he goes to hide?

Ninja Gaiden for the original Xbox.

Fighting Alma (Cheapest boss ever). Had her down to where one more hit would have killed her on my fifth try. All of the sudden she shoots this giant laser-beam out of her head (an attack which she has never done before this point)and kills me in one hit.

I was picking chunks of my controller off the floor and out of the dry-wall all day.

any fight in tekken 5 against jinpachi i swear he juggles and the once you've landed he uses the massive fireball that comes out of his stomach that takes off 70% of your health

The Force Unleashed.

Pulling that F**king Star Destroyer out of the sky, with waves of Tie Fighters murdering you.

I'm going back through in Sith Master (hardest difficulty) and I'm probably gonna be doping on whatever keeps your blood pressure at bay.

Trying to fight the "Ultimate Enemy" Mr. Hanekoma in The World Ends With You. I definitely felt like breaking my DS.

And I think a really breaking one woudl be when Xemnas uses his Carpal-Tunnel attack in Kingdom Hearts 2. you know what I'm referring to....when he fires a million lasers at you.

Gear of War. The last part of the third level on insane. The refinery area. Those dynamite arrows are the most annoying weapons I have seen in a video game. Took me days to beat it.

That bloody annoying sequence in Bad company where you have to run through a town full of bad guys, tanks and barbed wire ahead of your own tanks to blow up some bridges and then try and escape in a timer that wasn't just short but was also UNFAIR! blow up bridge 1 and 2,shit a tank just went across three, back to a checkpoint and then run nearly 1 kilometre through the enemies again. get six inches from pushing the plunger and watch a tank round spinning through the air en route to your face. man, that sucked

That honestly sounds more like a brother-breaking moment to me...:)

I lost to Tabuu in SSBB when he was so close to being beaten, I pitched my wavebird controller at the wall.

My young cousin came over today was looking through my old PC games and found a locked box. upon asking
A) what was in the box?
B)where was the key?

i told her the truth: all i remember was throwing the key in a lake when i was like 10.

despite the fact there was probly a reason for ditching said key i helped her pick the lock.

inside was beast wars for the PC.

now i love beastwars, and after seeing it on youtube she loves it to so she demanded i load it on my PC

about halfway through the 1st lv, 5 hours later we have both given my keyboard a beating and she informs me i should have thrown the game in the lake.
