... Due to the stand off mini game in in Red Dead Redemption. I feel like it is just random if John wants to shoot, even if i just hammer on the R2 trigger i got mad enough to trow my controller into the other couch hard enough to bound back and hit the floor with a loud thump still not sure if it works; it will be a bit before i go back to it

I have thrown many NES controllers in my days because there were games that gave you a great reason to do so. But RDR minigames aint one of em. Seek help.

The last controller I threw was at my cousins TV when we were kids. It was a Genesis controller, and he pushed me into the corner in Eternal Champions using Jetta. I wasn't used to fighting games back then and he wouldn't let me out so I threw it and his mom, my aunt, got mad at me. 
 
I was probably using Xavier.

I kept throwing my six axis before because it's light. Now I have a dual shock 3, I never throw it because it's too heavy and can really damage stuff.

The last time I threw a controller was in a game of NHL 96. We were playing in 2002, though. I was pretty embarrassed. That I threw the controller, not that I was playing NHL 96.

I've never thrown a controller. I used to get pieces of paper and rip them up. One time I ripped up a sock. I was very angry that time.

Crushed the left mouse button many years ago, never thrown a controller. If I were to throw a controller, I think I would go on a rampage and destroy something more because if I am pushed over the edge, I AM pushed over the edge.
It is really dangerous nowadays because without the cord, the only thing that restricts the air time of the controller, is your strength.
Ah! Just remembered that I made a huge dent in my computer case once, but I was drunk so that kinda doesn't count.

Poor cat, not to make you feel bad but still :(
 BTW, that six-axis thing was awfully light, do they still make those? They felt clean and modern since they were so light :-)
 
I am so f-ed up right now, sick and on medication, everything is spinning and twirling, and here I am posting on message boards :-)

I have never thrown a controller. I do however, do this thing where when I get angry I sort of slam the controller against my leg slightly. I'm not describing it well, because it's less painful than it sounds. In one of my 360 controllers, I've caused the battery connection to come loose by doing this, and it doesn't always work properly.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I do stuff like that, too. I slam the controller down on my leg or the couch. Carefully. I think most of my controller slamming was before giving up on FFX's abysmal mini games.

If I ever throw a controller, it's onto a soft bed.  Rarely does it bounce off and hit the floor (if ever)

@FreakAche: I do slam my controller against my leg and its as painful as it sounds once in a while... 
 
slamming it against the couch is the way to go though, then you can slam it as hard as you want w\o any pain\ damage to controller

I have accidentally dropped a few controllers over my gaming years but I have not and will never purposefully throw one. They cost too god damn much.

@Elerigo: If you draw your pistol before the other person and queue up one shot to the head, you basically win automatically. Same goes for the gun. If you shoot the gun out of their hand, it's a victory.

I've punched my 360 controller until my knuckles bled on it. I don't remember which game I was playing at the time. Blood doesn't go well with white 360 controllers. 
 
Edit: Oh I remmeber now it was Guilty Gear XX#Reload with the dpad because it lacks analog support and I lack anger mgmt.

Street Fighter 4 gave my PS3 controller a good scuffing, and that was just on AI characters. 
I've broken an Xbox controller with Need for Speed Underground, and I've broken a 360 controller doing... I don't even know.  
Luckily I've stopped doing things like that, so I can laugh about it. 
 
The worst and funniest thing I've broken in nerd-rage though was my USB wifi adaptor for my PC. It just wouldn't connect to the wifi, and it was always fucking up, so one day I grabbed it and whipped it out an open window. I bought a new one a few days later, and it worked better than the other one ever did.

My friend broke a controller this Summer due to being stuck at match point for over an hour with a guy on Xbox LIVE. Of all the games to break a pad too, he picks that one.

I have broken a cheap Joytech Dreamcast controller and a Game Boy Advance with my forehead. I used to be a real angry kid when it came to infuriating video game moments (for instance; Biolizard in Sonic Adventure 2.) 
That was many years ago though, I've changed like completely since then. I'm glad I did too, shit, when I think about it, I must've been really annoying back then. Yay for growing up!

When I was young I would pound NES controllers into couches or whatever, or just hit them. Mainly, I just drop controllers out of frustration. Sometimes, this ends up with me team killing someone because the controller just happens to land triggers down and my gun starts firing, which then just makes me shake my head in disbelief.
