When I was a lot younger I got so mad at a game I threw the disc case to the floor and broke it. That's the worst thing I can remember doing.
Have you ever.

Ditto that. Games never make me rage for real. It's more annoying when I constantly get saddled with chores just as I sit down trying to get some rounds of BlazBlue online. Or having people keep standing in front of the screen as I play BlazBlue. Still not rage inducing, just moderately annoying.martin said:
I got pissed off and threw a punch at my TV screen. It was an old TV and I broke it...then paid for it to get fixed and waited a few days for my knuckles to stop hurting. But that was when I was in my late teens.
Nowadays I fume and find something else to do. Unless I really like the game. I only get mad at games I really like.

Although I am normally really relaxed I once was raging so much that I went outside and kicked a light post I kicked it so hard I couldn't walk straight for 2 days, although to be fair that week everything had gone wrong so it was not just Custom Robo and it's idiotic storyline, I can't even look at the game I hate it's story so much, which is a shame because I like the gameplay.
Actually i had a rage AND an ANTI-rage within 2 minutes playing Star Fox 64 Area 6 back in 1997. I was trying to get gold medal 700+ plus kills on expert difficulty.
After 2 hours of trying i raged and smashed my Controller to the ground and teared up (bad, even for a 12 year old). After i calmed down i did it one more time with the broken controller. It was like seeing the matrix, everything was falling into place, like kismet. I finished with 712 and one hit of dmg. I then spiked my controller on the ground, shattering it, and ran around the house yelling and hooting in victory
...ah, reminds me of the days when beating just a PART of a game actually felt like an accomplishment. *goes to play Demons'Souls*

No. Sometimes I wish I could just really let loose and start tearing stuff up, but I always seem to have just enough restraint to not attack anything breakable, which is itself pretty frustrating.
Worst I've ever done is bite myself, hard, on the arm or ankle. Left a mark for a while, broke the skin once or twice, but one of the few things I like about my own body is its self-repair functions.

Gotten mad enough to cause pretty minor pain to myself. While I don't really do it anymore, I used to have a habit of (pretty gently) biting my lip, finger, or tongue as a sort of conditioning against playing badly/lazily/recklessly/carelessly when I got frustrated with a game.
I've never really gotten mad at a game itself to any great degree however, usually just mad at myself for failing at it.
The cure for any of this however is very obvious: play IWBtG (free, google it (I'm sorry for doing this to you)) for a few hours and everything you ever play from then on will seem extraordinarily fair and since you're likely to get through at least a few screens in that time, you will never doubt that there is a fucking wizard inside of you that can perform any gaming feat given enough time and effort.

I have broken controllers by throwing them against the wall when I got mad at a video game, I don't do that anymore but in retrospect I am embarrassed at myself for having ever done something so stupid. You just need to remind yourself that it is just a game and that losing at it is not the end of the world and that you will live to play another day.
If im really angry i curse under my breath, even when i've muted my mic.
So basically no, my british upbringing has made me repress most of the emotions i feel anyway, why shoul anger be any different.

No, but I've had people (really, just one person) throw my shit around because I (or even other people) beat him in games. Shit isn't cool, bro. Fuck your own stuff up, if you like, but don't come to my house, break my crap, then expect me to feel sympathy for the fact that you have a mental disorder. The same disorder I have, mind you.
I once smashed a computer so hard that the hookups on the back left holes in the wall behind it. It also broke the computer.
I actually broke a controller playing GTA IV. It was a part when you have to chase a guy on a motorcycle (both of you are on motorcycles. Main game, not The Lost and the Damned. So they were the ones with the really crappy handling). I kept failing it. Then I was so close to taking the guy out when a car in the next lane cut me off and caused me to wreck and ragdoll into a busy intersection. I threw my controller and broke a thumbstick. Aaaand that's the first and only time I ever did something like that.
Just a string of creative swearing for example: motherfucking thunder cunts!
I rage most when:
knifed/noobtubed/boosters/I forgot to save before I died when playing fallout or oblivion.
lots more things that piss me off that I can't think of right now :S

I don't know if a game has ever gotten me angry before. Frustrated certainly, but never angry.
It's tangential, but once I was sufficiently surprised in a game that I tensed up and pulled a muscle in my stomach. My friends didn't let me live that one down for the rest of the year.

Yes. During a round of Halo: Reach I became so enraged that I stood up slammed my controller into the wall, and it took such a hit that the left hand side pretty much exploded. The analog stick rolled around lazily, and the d-pad came loose. The shoulder button became useless and the spring in the left trigger popped out of place. I had to raise the cash to buy a new controller, and it cost so much that I've made sure to keep my temper in check ever since. If I get angry at the game now, I turn off the console. Better to lose in-game credits than real life cash.
I chucked my gatorade in rage while playing Modern Warefare 2. The lip broke and spilled everywhere, and I was done one fruit punch gatorade. Never have I raged that hard since that day December 23, 2009. I will never forget it or the slightly red mark on the bottom of my wall.
