Have you ever.

[ilikedoom]

I once lost to a gymn leader in Pokemon like 10 times so i threw my game boy advance across the room. I wish i hadn't

 

[Sansha]

I have a punching bag I wail on when games frustrate me.

It's my third one.

 

[Rawne1980]

I had been saving up in anticipation of getting a Mega Drive.

I finally had enough to buy one so on my 14th birthday I went out and got myself one with Mortal Kombat.

I challenged my elder sister to a fight to show her that, when it came to gaming, she was inferior to the mighty Adam in every way.

I picked Scorpion she picked Sub Zero and the fight began.

It was an epic brawl of backwards and forwards and "get over here" and "i'm gonna freeze you dickhead".

The fight was finally over.

The winner stood with their arms raised ...... it was my sister. She had beaten me.

I ripped out my Mega Drive and launched it at the wall and the thing smashed.

I had to work a paper round, milk round and any odd jobs that would get me cash so I could buy a new one.

I felt like a right tit.

 

[Lim3]

I once punched a wall when i was 16. I put a fairly big dint in it. Good thing i didn't hit a stud, or i would have broken my hand.

That's the only instance i've ever lost my cool. And that was 6 years ago.

 

[MrJKapowey]

I broke a 360 controller. After 45 minutes trying to get the 'jump of cliff and stabby-time' achievement for HALO Reach I threw it down in anger to go and get a drink and a cookie but (I play sitting on my bed) I didn't realise that the bar at the end of my bed was there. I threw the controller right onto it and the left analog and D-Pad stopped working properly...

 

[dimensional]

I used to get really angry at some games back in my youth but I would never break anything dont think I have ever lost control enough to do that, its my stuff im not going to smash it so yeah just lots of very loud swearing.
These days im much cooler tempered with games and in the two instances this gen where I have been in danger of raging and turning the air blue I have just switched off the console and chilled out. I have seen people smash controllers before though and unrelated but in pool after me and my friends beat this guy who played winner stays on (with a pound side bet) just so we could have a game of pool between us he went mental and turned the cue into matchwood then got ejected from the premises. Some people just cant handle a defeat although a recurring defeat in the same way every time regardless of what you do is slightly different looking at you Seth and Silver Kasumi stupid bosses.

 

[Krinku]

When something really rage worthy happens I just UUUUUUAAARGH. Otherwise I just go meh who cares.

 

[Samurai Silhouette]

Yeah, I called someone a "noob" seriously for the first time. Enjoyed the butthurt reaction. Now it's in my vocabulary

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

i had a 200 dollar gaming keyboard and a concrete wall have an unexpected and very fast meeting one night after id stayed up all night levelling a character in an RPG only to have my power go out.

$150 UPS and you have like 30 mins of game time after the power goes out....worth the investment....trust me.

yeah, i gave up playing after that. just toooooo much stress.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I was playing Soul Calibur 2 on the hardest difficulty.

It was the most frustrating thing I have ever done, it was mostly okay until I fought ivy. Did not matter what I did, she could hit me, do tons of damage...it was like being stun locked. >.> Eventually I got fed up and shattered my Wavebird on the TV.

I had other controllers. But that was the turning point for me. I haven't played a fighting game since <.< they all tend to be that way vs AI.

Did you throw the controller into the TV? If yes, did the TV break as well, because I don't see how a TV could survive that. If it did, it is the strongest TV I ever heard of.

----------------

I don't do much. I curse and I do shout out the classic trope "the computer is a cheating bastard":

I do have a friend that does get angry enough he throws controllers, usually down on the ground. He sort of broke one of his 360 controllers that way.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I broke a 360 controller. After 45 minutes trying to get the 'jump of cliff and stabby-time' achievement for HALO Reach I threw it down in anger to go and get a drink and a cookie but (I play sitting on my bed) I didn't realise that the bar at the end of my bed was there. I threw the controller right onto it and the left analog and D-Pad stopped working properly...

Ah, that achievement. It took me several hundred or so tries to get it. As far I can tell, it is one of those achievements that the game doesn't tell you that there has to be precise things happening when you do the action:

Like:

Before you jump, the wind has to be blowing from the west, and the Grunt standing next to the Elite you are about to jump on, has to be picking his nose, while the other two Grunts are taking a whiz behind the burned out truck.

It must have been that complicated a condition, because I counted how many times I succeeded in assassinating the Elite mid jump so that I didn't die from the fall, as the achievement wants, and I did it properly, without dying, 30 times before it gave me the achievement. I even tested the jump/fall position that I completed those with, and if I had hit the ground I would have died.

The game was just anally picky.

 

[Suicida1 Midget]

Ill be honest. One day i was unloading cans of r*pe in MW2 (before mods, after care package glitch) i was on kill 24, lining up 25 (for nuke cause everyone hides from choppergunner) and the modem just turns off on its own. Think office space meets modem. Thats all i am gonna say.

 

[Collins254]

I was playing MW2 once and one of my team mates kept getting annoyed at dying all the time, but not speaking just grunting or whining at death, and we kept saying to stick with the other team members, until i said "if you cant play the goddam game just go do something else and stop being useless" at that point i heard someone crying at the other end...

i did appologise and it was theyre first time playing online but i wasnt expecting tears, more nerd rage of kid swearing at me for being a "n00b" yet i was on most kills/least deaths

ahwel we all live and learn

 

[Cheesus333]

I try to keep relatively calm when something distressing/frustrating happens in a game. I never break anything, or hurt anyone. But it puts me in massive rage for an hour or two afterwards, during which I'm more easily provoked than the Hulk on adrenaline shots.

I was playing Fallout New Vegas the other week when I accidentally overwrote my best character's file. Fortunately, I'm not a moron so I keep a back up, but even that one was about three days and countless in-game activities ago. It stressed me very much, but I managed not to destroy anything or hit the guy I was with.

I know this has nothing to do with the topic but that is the single sweetest avatar evar!

Hehe, why thank you =) I came across someone else who had the same one I did (the Doctor with 3D glasses) and I decided that it was time for a change. I did have a bit of outside inspiration

[Kingme18]

Normally I let loose a good, "FUUUUUUUUUUUdge!" I try not to swear.

 

[Jakub324]

On Fallout 3, I spent 20 minutes working out how to kill Colin Moriarty without anyone seeing, someone did and then I killed everyone in the town. I only had one save file

 

[OverweightWhale]

I believe I threw my controller in rage while playing Demon's Souls and broke the analog stick. So I had to buy a new damn controller since I couldn't fix it.

 

[SilentCom]

I raged so hard that I left the game and murdered someone in real life. Just kidding.
