What's the craziest thing you've done when you were frustrat

Post » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:30 am

Resident Evil 4. The awful controls had driven me well past the safety margin, and I impaled the game with my model katana.

Oh yeah, I also recently had an outburst, which is weird because I've been doing a lot better with my anger management lately. It was all thanks to Lord of the Rings: Third Age. I got to the final stretch of the game, struggled through the insanely cheap encounters for three hours, then got to Sauron. He caught my party in an inescapable loop where he'd block everyone's skills, then severely damage me. I went down like a rock and there was nothing in my inventory that could put the cheapness to a stop.

I yanked the game out of my PS2 and repeatedly slammed it into my dresser, placed the massively cracked disc into the case, smashed the case, and threw it in the garbage. That game belongs nowhere else.

Def Jam Vendetta on the PS2. I can remember when it came out I was 10 or so and I was stuck on a fight for hours.
It was three guys against you and I just couldn't do it.
I eventually carved 'Crap' into the disc with a pen, snapped it and threw it out of my window. Felt good.
But that was the worst. I've toned down a bit since then, although I have cracked a few controllers playing FIFA before. (The shame.)

worst thing I've done is to turn the disc into a frisbee. It's amazing how far they fly.

Edit: I was wrong, I once destroyed my keyboard over a game once, although I can't remember which one.

My "fits" are few and far between, usually amounting to an assortment of quiet grunts and, from what I'm told, odd faces. They don't happen often because I've long since acknowledged that I'm just bad at video games in general. Failure in games rarely fazes me these days. :P

Never ever physically damaged anything.

Did learn how to swear. Profusely.

Eventually got over it and don't get mad at games anymore. :P

Smashed the doors on my wardrobe to pieces while playing COD4, can't really remember the specifics though.

This was a while ago, I don't get as angry these days as I once did.

Elbowed two holes in the wall. I was sitting right next to the wall so punching it would be kind of hard, so I opted for elbowing.
I was playing Just Cause 2. A message saying MILITARY SECURITY HAS INCREASED popped up in the middle of the screen and all the soldiers in the base I was attacking re-spawned with machine guns and assault rifles and killed me. It was just about the dumbest thing that's ever happened to me in a video game.

I usually cuss a lot under my breath unless I'm the only one home then I'll scream it. Every now and again I'll turn into the Y U No guy and make a wierd screaming/growling noise.

I flinged my controller at the wall when i was playing MW2, because i was on a 24 kill-streak, & somehow commando failed. It slid by his body as if he was made of butter.


You deserve it for using Commando :P

I've broken two monitors while getting angry at FPS games.

I also threw the cat out of the window in rage once. No harm done though... it landed on the conservatory.


Wow. Did he come back to you, or did he run off?

Anyways, I occasionally swear and scream, but that's most of the times. One time I tried to stuff my pillow into my mouth. I couldn't manage, but I turned off the game. Another time I got angry that I.....got revenge on the guy who had killed me. I felt some remorse, but I got over it.

Nothing special, just a few broken keyboards and a few CDs and some miscellaneous stuff thrown around the house.

But back in the day, I had this ancient(bought in 1996-1997) Compaq Presario that I used to smash my fists into when it crashed or some game didn't go as planned. Even after years of abuse, that PC still works to this day. They really don't make the stuff like they did before.. :)

She came back. :P The cat and I both learnt a lesson - no sitting on my lap while i'm gaming.

I've broken a few controllers and games that svcked. I punched my laptop screen once, but somehow it didn't hurt it. The worst thing I ever did was break my flat screen tv. I threw an empty, plastic 12 oz Dr. Pepper bottle at the floor. It bounced and hit the tv. That was the last time I broke anything. Since then, I just kind of pound my fist on the arm of my chair and swear profusely.

Turn the game off. I tend to "bottle" my anger up.

It was empty? And it bounced off the floor? High enough to break the TV? It broke the the TV?

Was it a ceiling fan? If it was, I'd be impressed.

Yeah, I know. I'm that lucky. The tv wasn't all that high though. It was sitting on a low entertainment center. I guess the cap of the bottle hit the screen. I don't know. It happened too fast.
