I've done it. You've done it. We've all done it. I challenge anyone who considers themselves a "gamer" to honestly say that they've never Rage Quit at anything. Granted, some of us rage quit a bit more "rage-ily" than others, but we've all been at the "OH FUCK THAT! *turn off console/computer*" moment.
This topic is asking for some of your "better" Rage Quit stories. What game were you playing, what caused the Rage Quit, and what were the regretable - though often cathartic - consequences of the Rage Quit?
One of my better ones was when I realized that playing Soul Calibur 4 online was like trying to stuff a cactus up my ass because everyone that plays it uses the same cheap/unavoidable move (I'm looking at you, Darth Vader...) that just murders the fuck outta you and there's nothing you can do about it. Evidently Taki has a move where she just does a quick little swipe with one of her blades down at your ankles. This is enough to cause you to stumble for a moment, which is just long enough for her to do it again, effectively stun-locking you if you get hit once by it.
Now to be fair, I'll say this was enough to make me rage quit, but what REALLY sent me over the edge was the fact that it was in the middle of August and my A/C wasn't working...needless to say I was already literally and figuratively hot under the collar.
Having had enough with these bullshit players and their bullshit tactics, I stood up, threw my controler, and turned around to punch a hole in the wall. Turning back around, I see that my controler had found its way into my TV set, requiring that I get a new one.
RAGE QUIT!!!!1!11!!!
