Haven't been back to play PS3 since (except Little Big Planet with my daughters). I really should, since I also have unopened copies of MGS and Resistance: FoM.

MW2 makes me rage! I curse, hit the wall and scream but i've learned to step back and think..."it's just a game."
Games are meant to be fun and lets you escape. When it starts making you slam things and throw stuff all over the place, it probably means you should take a break.

When it comes to gaming, i'm a pretty calm person. I don't get mad if its too hard or if i'm losing. My brother on the other hand gets mad every time I beat him in Mario Party or any other game I beat him in.

Because of that my controllers feel the wrath of the wall.

Good thing he is older now, so he doesn't throw my controllers anymore.

[jamclaur]

my little brother is WAY worse than me. He got a Nintendo DS (the flip screen kind) and suddenly he wasn't playing it anymore... come to find out he got pissed and bent the screen back and broke it in two.

Geez... preach much?

I bet that Semp1 is just as bad as the rest of us but is in denial in order to try and give his self-esteem a boost by trying to put us all down.

[ashman1983]

one of my SNES controllers still has my teeth marks in it when i bite it in frustration once. plus i used to yell at my sisters when i died in super mario brothers, accusing them of thinking and throwing off my game.......yaaaaaa

[blubryant]

I think most controller breaking days are past us, they invented a thing called a continue. I remember playing contra as a kid, beating those games weren't easy. If you got near the end and died, that was a lot of time lost, smashing a controller almost seemed civilized compared to what you could do if you lost to the last boss. I'm just joking of course, I never broke a controller until ps2 when an analog just went crap. But I think that's why it seems a little ridiculous now, but there was a time, were it really did suck to die.

[Xerios]

never broke anything, my clan leader broke 4 controllers over 6 months or so.. i curse at myself while playing only games or tricky redundant single player modes

And as a side note if you have a Wii you can throw the Wii remote without even get pissed off so I guess it's good for a stress reliever.

Warcraft does make people go nuts.

Never broken a controller or keyboard if i get that mad i just stop playing

[hardcore_canadian]

I punch my fiance when he beats me at a game... I used to bite him, but he liked that.

[sotodavid88]

the last boss in Infamous made me bite the right thumb stick on my ps3 controller, had to buy another one after that.

Oh forgot about the time when I was playing Fifa against my brother on the PS1.. He is always so calm, but after I beat him he punched me - well he hit my Donald Duck watch and broke it Glass got into his hand and he was bleeding...

Karma brother, karma....

Didn't think so many people acted this way "good" to know

[ariakon]

I still get very angry even though I feel stupid for doing it. Video games, football, both piss me off to the point where I sometimes stop watching and/ or playing them because of how frustrating they can be. Like Brett Favre tonight, my goddamn stupid hero, playing so brilliantly all year and then making one ( just ONE!) bad mistake so that everyone will forget how good he was and just talk about how he threw away the game, even though his teammates did just as good a job losing that game as he did. Anyway, off topic, sorry, but Madden pisses me off sometimes, and MW2 on-line, when I get the drop on a guy and shoot him like fifteen times and he pops me once and trots over my corpse. I yell, but haven't broken anything yet, though I did throw a remote at the TV once. Somehow, it didn't get a scratch or anything, like God gave me a warning shot.

Not so much with my more expensive PS3 equipment, but I do tend to beat couches every now and then. Worst moment was when I was playing GoW1 on hard mode dying 100 times to Ares. Ripped my PS2 controller out and chucked it outside into a tree.

[Trogdor2010]

I had some angry moments in the past and downright pissed off, but I don't recall breaking anything (Maybe when the Red ring come to mind).

Poor Favre He almost broke down on ESPN afterward tonight. I love the man for always being so true to the game.

I was far from spoiled. If I broke a game it was because it sucked and I knew it would not be missed. If I wanted to replace a game or controller I did on my own, Mom and Dad sure as heck were not going to buy me another because I was pissed. Maybe you should use that thing called restraint and not bother posting your condescending remarks in a thread you obviously have nothing to contribute.

[greyrocket]

for some reason gran turismo can get me a tad pissed. through my ps3 controller out the 2nd floor window did not break thank goodness
