Like you I find the most frustrating thing is to be punished with the same overly difficult mission again and again. I am pressed for time, I've got a more than full time job, 2 small boys and a wife that are all more important to me than video games. When I'm stuck I do tend to get frustrated. It has been a while however since I've gotten extreemly upset at a game. There are a couple reasons. First I realized most of my anger was comming from being pressed for time. Knowing this (and since I don't have a review deadline) I've learned the fine art of walking away. When frustrated the first thing I do is stop, check a FAQ and try again. If there is no help from the FAQ I just stop. I've got plenty of other games that need playing. The other reason I've stopped getting upset is the 2 boys in my house that watch everything I do. Getting overly upset at a video game is bad form and even worse when there children that will learn from your actions.
