Personally, I've been known to chuck a controller or two in anger. I sit right between A and B, really, depending on how long I've been awake and how much caffeine is enhancing my ability to keep my eyes open.
Maximum Amount of Aggravation You Feel While Playing Games.
It's pretty rare that I will get in a nerd rage on the vast majority of games. Usually it's only if Im stuck on a certain section that I usually get pissed off, of course CoD is the exception.
I guess somewhere between D and E. Generally, I'm much calmer than I used to be though. If I start getting annoyed I either take a deep breath and keep going or I just stop and continue on later.
My recent attempt at getting 69 stars in MW2 would be a good example of how mad I get at games. I'll be sitting there, total Zen like, until some Juggernaut shows up and kills my dude in half a second.
"Whoorgh! For fuck's sake!"
Then it's time to take a short break and then try again later.
So, no. I don't totally flip out at games.
I don't abuse my stuff, I pay good money for that.
I've got yelled at by Parental figures for swearing at the top of my lungs though
"COCKARSEHITCUNTWHOREBITCH!"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING THAT TO?!"
"A game..."
Well once when I was trying for platinum on events in prototype, I bit off the edge of my analogue sticks... They are now stubs. After getting angry that I still couldn't win with these stubs I began to saw my control in half and melt it in several places.
I still have the control as a reminder not to play prototype ever again >.<
I clench my teeth, sqeeze the controller in my hands, and take a deep breath. Worst-case scenario, and I quietly mutter some profanity while breathing out.
I've never understood people who throw their controllers and stuff like that. I mean, I've certainly thrown a controller or two, but that's been over real-life stuff, not video games I couldn't beat.
" Street Fighter 4/Super are the only games that get me aggravated, resulting in option C plus a few, "that's not what I fucking pressed you stupid piece of shit game" "yup
" I don't abuse my stuff, I pay good money for that. I've got yelled at by Parental figures for swearing at the top of my lungs though "COCKARSEHITCUNTWHOREBITCH!" "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING THAT TO?!" "A game..." "Thats me but all the time. luckily i'm too old to get yelled at by mah parents :p
I only tend to swear occasionally and steady my grip on the controller a bit too much, and that's mostly when I am playing with retards over the Internet.
The only time I was at the breaking point of destroying my room was when I played Sonic Unleashed. Luckily, I silenced my inner trophy whore and decided to fuck this shit, so no damage was done.
As much shit as I've destroyed over my life, I gotta go with A. I've gotten better at not eradicating my games and equipment than I used to do, although I did take a knife to a copy of MW2 I had a week after it launched, so I'm still prone to bouts of rage.
I think the God of War series is responsible for most of my ire. Between the fixed camera angle jumping puzzles, the optional Challange of the Gods, and fucking up QTEs I think the neighbors believe I suffer from Tourette's Syndrome.
Theres never any physical violence, but usually more swearing than normal and typically it's aimed at whoever made the game. If I get annoyed enough the game gets quietly turned off and I end up in an apathetic mood for a bit.
None, seriously anybody who gets angry enough to damage something while playing a game is fucking mental. Swearing or getting a little annoyed, fine.
Clumsiness on the other hand has robbed me of a lot of things.
I messed up a battery pack on one of my 360 controllers, so now I just swear a lot...a whole lot. Or just play a porno or movie in the background so I have something else to watch to keep me from getting overly pissed off.

I usually take it out on the couch or myself (these thighs are stronger than concrete now, I shit you not). But I usually don't get angry at a game. Usually I tell myself it's something I'M doing because even though it may signal some bad game design (or a bad game in general), there MUST be a way to get past whatever I'm doing. Every game has an end. Only games that keep me cool would be puzzle games and such because you can just restart and not lose anything or have to endure things like cutscenes for the umpteenth time. You've all been there. "Hey X, this is what we're gonna do..." "I ALREADY KNOW.... *sigh* Just....hurry up."
