I'm pretty bored and hope this topic gets some replies. Back on topic, I remember playing MGS4 two years ago and the part where you have to grab Vamp and inject him with some thing, I spent about an hour trying to figure out what to do. Then I found out and it took me forever just to grab him. That game doesn't teach you how to do shit. So after failing over and over while trying to grapple him, I threw my remote at my ottoman and the R2 button popped out. I was about to throw it out the window but I just spent my anger fixing it and finally beating Vamp's ass.
What have you broken?
Ever broke something because a game?
Better safe then sorry.... I like the idea." I've been known to throw a controller at a couch. I broke one controller once, so now if i really have to throw one i aim for the couch lol. "
Headbutted a GBA playing Mario Kart, breaking the screen. And I also broke a DualShock 2 controller, but I forgot what I was playing at the time.
More then once bruised my hands on beating the wall or closet thanks to some cheating/camping/whatever ruining my fun asshat online.
Then I stopped playing Warcraft and Call of Duty.
It's likely just me, but I would have thought only idiots take games too seriously to want to break something when angered or frustrated by a game. Never in my entire life have I ever felt the need to break something due to a bad experience from a game.
During Jak 2, I took a detour and grabbed an artifact off a door in the back of the water village slums. The game autosaved and swarms of soldiers dropped in. I was stuck in that motherfucker of an escape mission for several days and, as a result, hurled my controller to the ground and damn near broke it. *sigh* That feels good to get off my chest.
There's still a Rock Band Drum Stick shaped whole in my basement wall from the last time my 360 red ringed. I've been thinking of covering it up, but I sorta like it. It says to my visitors, "Yea, I break shit when I game. Next time you fucking screen-look, that will be your face."
I murdered my neighbors and their kids after playing GTA4 because video games directly affect my behavior.
I kicked the wall once.
My friend has broken his Ps3 controllers in half.....
He's also done the same with his old Ps2 games.
" Headbutted a GBA playing Mario Kart, breaking the screen. And I also broke a DualShock 2 controller, but I forgot what I was playing at the time. "Headbutting a handheld and breaking the screen is one of the craziest things i've heard of. Imagine you knocked yourself out?
I've never broken anything but I rage sometimes. Just the other day I got really frustrated playing Pac Man CE DX and slammed the controller down on my lap, accidentally hitting myself right in the nuts. Talk adding about insult to injury... Or maybe injury to insult...
The hearts of countless women around the world...

I lost to the Bulls in the final game of an entire season on NBA Jam on the SNES. So in utter blind fury I picked up the controller, swung it round like a windmill and screamed "WOOOOOOW!.. JAMS IT IN!" smashing the thing into pieces. I instantly regretted it and eventually figured out how to repair my own controller.
Yes. The controller that came with my 360 originally lasted me nearly five years, until I decided to pop in Assassin's Creed 1 and play through that game for AC2 and Brotherhood. The controls were clunky as all Hell, and unless you were crawling past every guard at a painstakingly slow pace, they would go apeshit and attack you, prompting a bullshit, overly-long fighting sequence where the enemies would often just stand there staring at you and waving their swords around. I threw the controller at the wall multiple times and one day I had had enough, and slammed the thing against a stool I was resting my legs on at the time. It fucked up my right analog stick to the point where I really couldn't use it anymore. I was going to break the disc after I finished it but I forgot about it and wasn't pissed enough to bother when I remembered. Fuck that piece of shit game, but AC II and Brotherhood were both quality titles.
Broke an Xbox controller with Need for Speed Underground... maybe it was DOA3. Anyway, got pissed, threw it upon the floor, and it fell apart.
I also broke a USB wi-fi adaptor because it kept disconnecting me from games, and the wi-fi signal would drop all the time in the middle of downloads. I couldn't get anything bigger than 100mb without like torrents or something, who at least lets you resume downloads.
I just grabbed it and threw it out my open window. That was the end of that. Bought a new one the next day, and hey... it worked perfectly.
No, I have self-control. If a game ever emits such emotion, then you might want to stop playing that game.
I'm a keyboard smasher by nature. For home I buy sturdy keyboards that I can pop the keys back on. When I lost all my new vegas saves a few weeks ago, I had to rebuild that sucker yet again.
Not quite from games, but when I worked as a developer a few years ago, I went to the local parts shop when they had a sale and bought a big stack of keyboards. When I'd have a crash and lose code, I'd generally lose a keyboard at the same time. My coworkers loved watching me yell "Shit!", pound my desk, take a few deep breaths, dump the trashed keyboard in the garbage and reach under my desk and unpack a fresh one.
" A PS3 controller while playing Modern Warfare 2 on veteran. There was a moment where I tossed my controller into the air out of disgust when it landed the R2 button didn't work. $50 gone.. ugh. "you sir should not try to play modern warfare 1 on hard...
I really wish that I would have smashed something but somehow my subconscious always aims for couches, pillows and mattresses rendering my controllers completely useful. "sigh"
I threw my PS3 controller into a wall whilst going for platinum in God of War III. I fixed the controller, and have been careful to control my frustration since then. (I got the plat.)
