As far as I can remember I destroyed only one controller. I threw a snes controller against the wall because I lost a game against my brother. Was fun to the see the little plastic controller burst into little pieces. ^^

I remember when my friend spilled coke on the good black 360 controller. The a button never stopped sticking. It wasn't even MY controller. It was HIS...but I was so pissed!

(Mistakenly activated this post before I was finished)

- My Dad LOVED Tetris. And turned Mom off games for good. Dad's turn lasted hours, hers minutes. My Aunt couldn't beat Dad at Tetris so she got crazy good at Dr. Mario.
- When Super Smash Bros. came out, and I was the only person who knew who Ness was in my circle of friends. (Hey nintendo. Remaking SNES games for DS...look at Earthbound!)
- I showed my Grandma the SNES and she was so enthralled she got Grandpa to get her an N64 for Christmas that year.
- The night my Sister and her friends, all Teenagers, were stuck on Day 1 of Parasite Eve for an hour plus and I could do NOTHING because I was banned from games.
- The Christmas Mom set me up. She made it look like I did something really bad, confiscated my games...then made a list of them, took it to a shop and asked 'What would someone who plays THESE like?'.
- Rock Band 2. My friends and I managed the Bachman Turner Award. We cheered so loud the next door neighbour threatened to call the cops. (It was a HOUSE, too, not an apartment or sharing a wall with another domicile.

I think the 360 is a conspiracy to make gamers everywhere totally goddamn miserable

LMAO, I love this post!! Nice comment man, Death to the shit box!!

lml,

Well, I think the most rage I ever had was when I was playing a game on my Ps2, and I got so mad I squeezed it too hard and it broke, and then threw it and it broke more. It didn't think I had the strength to do it, in all honesty.

My problem with controller is 3rd party controllers... or people that can't take care of them, especially arcade cabinets! I hate playing a game with malfunctioning buttons. And I hate losing because of it; I KNOW I'm not invincible, but flawed game controls or a broken controller making me lose is NOT what I play videogames for!

BTW, the pic is just AWESOME!

well i never had that problem of getting overly mad at my games thanx to my timid nature, but i see that playstation had to go and invent a nurf controller to solve that problem as well. i guess that there are some true gamers out there(incuding myself) that get upset over their score. some to more of an extreme.

first day of the psp and it fucking froze on me so i throw it across the room and broke it there went 200 dollers. never got another one after that prop should but idk

lol i only have the oooold playstation and PS2. and yes some cases it's the controller's fault.

Finding out that Street Fighter 4's easy mode isn't easy (first time street fighter here), and finally reaching Seth only to have him fuckin whore moves every round. My controller felt it once before i said fuck it, then i found that there were easier modes. Fuck you Capcom you god damn deceivers with your stupid sexy russian wrestler!!

So you used your |\⁻⁻ + PPP move on the controller - nice, now Finish it!

xbox360 had 3 red lights, sent it in to microsoft to get it fixed. 3 months later, 3 red lights again.

you mean the red ring of dearh?
Due t microsoft they found a problem of why is there is a 3 red ring of deathy
Due to rumors it happened by the overheating the cpu

The single worst think with consoles is - the one dirty friend you have that ALWAYS comes over to play on your machine a but has never once thought to wash their fucking hands first. ¬..¬

The second worst thing (pre wireless as standard) is normally the same dirty friend wrapping the controller wire around the pad like it's a freaking Boa Constrictor and breaking the cable.

The last stage in any Nintendo game (Mario 1) when a family member unplugs it from the wall. >.<

And who hasn't felt like doing this?
DEATH FROM ABOVE!

I fucking hate the 360's controller. It's a big, bulky, and terrible for fighting games. And now that you say it's complex inside, that's hulla lame. I love the PS2/PS3 controller, it's really easy to open it up and mess around with it, and it's D-Pad is the best out there.

Why tinker inside the controller? :?

Well, there are times where my younger brother would overuse the controller and the part that holds up the D-Pad would bend and break. I usually had older controllers that had it's D-pad working fine, so I'd replace it out. Also, the padding under the buttons would tear, and that would need replacing.

And there was the odd occassion I would spray the controller a different colour too.

Bend and break? But that is plastic? How the heck did he manage that? Lol xD lets hope you didn't bedazzle the controller with bright gold and glitter! >.>; j/k

Like the picture mate. An experience we all know too well.
I have never threw my console into a thousand pieces or smashed a TV because of it. My only experience is getting extremely frustrated at stupidly annoying levels in games that any pro-gamer can do with only one hand!

I've only ever thrown the controller once, playing Chrono Cross on the PSX. There's a part of the game where you have to win a "gambling" type of game (it's like roulette) and you have to win a certain number of times or something, I forget. Well, I spent an hour trying to win and eventually got so frustrated that I threw the controller on the ground and broke the rumble part of it... later I found out that the roulette table was fixed and I was supposed to run downstairs and steal a magnet or something. Grr.

How can that be misfortunate? A big ass groila about to crush a piece of crap American trash.????? Made by the shittest company in the world. Microsoft. Hmm Only way you could of made this picture better, is if it was a 360 he was about to crush xD

Bend and break? But that is plastic? How the heck did he manage that? Lol xD lets hope you didn't bedazzle the controller with bright gold and glitter! >.>; j/k

The day after I got a 360, it chewed up the only game I bought with it D:

Seems like people are overly-angry at their systems. Only controller I had that acted like a whore was my Gamecube controller that I bought used for my Wii. I didn't thrash it.

I buried it.

Under a pile of clothes, actually, and I'll throw it away proper when I get my room cleaned up. In the meantime I got a new GC controller and have yet to even use it. For the most part, I've been very lucky with video games. Hell, my NES still works just fine, so long as I blow the games before sticking them in.

Maybe that's where my oral fixation came from.

I loved playing the long drawn out games, you know from the time when people were more interested in developing a completely obscure plot that took several days to figure out? I was more addicted to those games that were IMPOSSIBLE to finish off, either due to difficulty (damn NES games were so hard all the time) to the ones with absolutely NO saving method! Blaster Master, Rygar, Yo Noid! to name a few

well I would never open my conytrollers. But well no console is perfect

The final boss in Silent Hill 5 got me so frustrated (never did beat it) after what must have been the 30th attempt, that I actually threw my XBox 360 controller violently onto the floor. It landed so ungracefully that the plastic bent just enough for the left vibration motor to disconnect and fly out through the briefly existent gap. More frustration, however, was that the left shoulder button acquired a habit of being pressed when it was not pressed.

i was on 8-4 in Super Mario Bros. (NES) about to beat Bowser for the last and final time. My dad decides to play too. He takes my controller, and found his way to Bowser (i was looking for like 3 hours to find him, so all my 1-Ups were slowly going down to nothing. my dad was on my last life after another 2 hours of running around). he gets to Bowser, touches the axe thingy (that destroys the bridge so Bowser falls in the lava and dies) but time ran out, so it didn't go, and he died. as the screen read Game Over and played the tune, my dad (infuriated) snapped my one and only NES controller in two! the plastic chipped and flew everywhere (almost like when you break a CD-ROM, but not as bad) and cut us up a little bit.
after that day, i was never able to get to 8-4 ever again. i believe the farthest i got was 8-2
*shrugs while the Game Over tune plays*

I remember when i had my Nes i used to get mad at difficult games but i didnt want to brake my controllers, i mean i knew that that would it for me for a long time till i get a new one, so i made a zone of pillows so that i could throw the controller with force but it didnt brake, it released the tention and no broken controllers.

I remember playing the megadrive so much one weekend that the actual 'teeth' under the card of the game got MELTED and attached to the console... I was even surprised that the game was still running in perfect condition, though I couldn't force it out to put something other than Samurai Showdown ( '_')

I ended up buying the PS 4 months after that... lucky me~

By the way, that drawing shows the frustration of losing perfectly many times I wanted to do that while playing mario kart!

lol! who the fuck is dump enough to buy a Failbox 360? PS3 for life!!!

Perhaps its the same kind of person who spells "dumb" with a P?

LOL great one there... KUDOS for you

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: LULZ

I used to have one of those old mouse for my computer that used a rolling ball instead of the more modern laser mouse. The problem with it was that it kept picking up dirt and debris and about every 2 days I'd have to take it apart and clean it out. I knew it was time to clean it when the mouse icon on the screen would stop moving in one direction, usually during part of a game where I needed it to work. So one day I yanked it out of the back of my computer, spun it around my head like a lasso and smashed it on the surface of the computer desk. Think you can use that?

Thank you all for COMMENTING... here's my true Situation for games...

The first game was the LEGEND OF ZELDA "THE ADVENTURES OF LINK" how much i hate this game.. (Still do) but it was one of those games you're dying to beat... that and CASLEVANIA... where everytime the character would get wounded he jumps backwards... and there would be the cruicial on jumping on small ledges and you get hit by an object fly backwards and die... i bought 4 LINK games after each one suffered the same fate as the PREVIOUS one... it was at that moment i finally beat it and THRASHED it again to NEVER play that game again.

as for CONTROLLERS?? everyone suffer the slam and bam and thrown across the ROOM ordel... i kinda lost COUNT

just off the subject, this would make a great jumping scene for your comic if you have Gor fight against a particular enemy >:3

Just giving my thoughts.

And I remember when I was a kid, both I and my brother would throw our controllers at the TV when we lost at a game :P
my brother did it more then I did and even lied to get more controllers from the pawn shops he'd sell them to

Original XBox... After like TWO YEARS, I finally get to chapter 15 of Ninja Gaiden (I think it has 16). I'm working through the level but have to pause to do other things. I come back later and the system will NOT read my disc! I try for hours to get it working to no avail. The other games work, though it takes a while. Eventually, I DO get Ninja Gaiden to work, but the system freezes while loading and then it never plays another game. That game was shit hard, too.

You know, NERF made a controller to remedy this. All of its innards and its outer shell are reinforced with durable plastic and firm, coushy foam. You can throw it at the ground and it'll just bounce. The worst that will happen is the battery pack might fly off in the process, but you can just snp it right back on. =)

angry video game..... Ape?

1st PS2 slim (it have more than 5 years and still alive)
2 nd GBA SP
3rd GBC
4 NDS lite
5 NDSi
6 Psp
and if i have money enough the PS3 Slim

Yeah, the batteries in the controllers going wrong are always what bugs me most...

In the middle of Fallout 3. One of mine just flat out stopped holding a charge and will only work on the cord now, hah. Wired wireless controller. Awesome. XD

And yes, the 360 is a whore at being particularly picky about how it's fixed. Or put together.

Hah, I know how it feels. :)
