I have. I was playing Rockstar Table Tennis and I wasn't performing very well. It didn't matter what kind of spin I put on the ball, it would just get returned no matter what I did. I was fed up with the AI being so cheap, so I threw my controller on the floor and uttered a few swear words. On another occasion, I threw a headset at the wall as hard as I could; I was playing Team Fortress 2. Have you guys ever done something like that?

Yes, when I was much younger. Thankfully that was back with the NES and SNES. Those controllers were as solid as a brick.

The only time I ever threw a controller out of my hand was when playing a Wii game a Tennis game and the last thing I knew is that I had completely let the motion controller slip through my hands but lucky enough, I had my strap on so that was a lifesaver.

But throwing a controller out of anger or piss off, never have done that as I have better anger control. I just say "Damn" all the time whenever I lose😅

I dropped my PS5 controller on the carpet by accident. I never thrown my controllers before though my nephews have when getting mad during a game.

lol no, I tend to view things like that as a sign of weakness of character.

We all have our bad days, though, so no judgement.

Yes, but only on accident with Wii sports (anyone who has played it knows exactly how that happens.)

No. I just end up saying some cuss words if I get really frustrated.

No but I know a couple of people who have.

Surprisingly even after losing some very difficult boss fights where I was just about to win, I haven't gotten that upset, just kind of disappointed and wanting to put the game down. Sometimes after you put the game down for a while you can come back and do it the first try. That's happened to me enough times, so I don't lose hope.

Nope. I've had the thought cross my mind for sure, but quickly talking myself out of it and realize these accessories are expensive.

The only thing being thrown around is my fluctuating blood pressure

@outworld222:

Kind of odd given how it's suppose to be relaxing ... I'll see how long of a break I'll need
