So many N64 controllers, so many. My PS2 has suffered equally.

No. I've never understood why people do, either. Is it really that hard to keep control of your self when you're playing a game?

Yeah, I used to throw my old Sega Mega Drive joypads around loads back in the day

Nowadays, if something frustrates me, I throw the controller on something soft like the bed or a cushion or something.

There may have been times I did that when I was younger, but never to the extent of causing harm to the controller. Once though, when playing Batlefield 2 several years ago, I took off my headset and threw it down, not even that hard, and it broke. Since then I don't really get angry at games unless there is a hacker messing up games online, but even then I no longer get angry to the point I throw anything.

Nope. But I have a friend who rages mindlessly and throws controllers everywhere. He broke his window and his t.v. I need to slap him to make him exit his trance.

Oh definitely, but I aim for something soft usually. Have yet to actually break a controller in anger (although I was seriously tempted to snap a game disc in two, and if I ever see said game on sale cheap, I'll buy it just so I can snap it in two).

I threw my gamecube controller to the floor once or twice. However I do occasionally feel like snapping my wiimote in half after a round of mario kart wii (damn blue shells:cry: )

Nope, but the funniest thing is that the controllers may attack back! :o

I was kicking my friend's butt in Street Fighter one day, and he got so pissed that he threw the PS2 controller at the TV. It ricocheted back at him and then the controller swung around his neck and arm and he couldn't get it off. It was hilarious seeing him struggle in that tangled mess. :lol:

Damn, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen when someone got angry at a video game. :lol:

I threw my PS3 controller once, because of all the Assault people on Killzone 2, it hit my other one and they both broke...$100 down the drain. I bought a new one which cost $50, $150 lost because of one mistake.

I have the self-control to throwcontrollers into the sofa, but yes, I am easily consumed in violent rage against inanimate objects.

I did because of hardcore lag in Gears of War 2 Mp. Now my poor controller's battery pack needs to be held with tape and the LB doesn't work very well. D:

No. I've thought about it, I've come close to it. But; controllers are a bit expensive, flat panels are much more expensive.

I don't remember throwing my controller recently, but I've definitely tried to break a few controllers in half. Ninja Gaiden II.

Personally I can't see throwing a controller. I paid $39.99 for the Xbox controller for my PC, so I'm not going to waste that money by breaking it.:?

I deliberately dropped my controller if that counts. It was ok luckily.

I was speechless for some reason. What pisses me off the most is when some kind of a bug or glitch in a game makes me lose. I curse at the developers.

I throw mine all the time. Not so much in recent times, but occasionally I still do.

I busted a good and expensive PS2 controller. I was playing MGS3 for the first time and The Boss was so hard to beat I slammed it on the coffee table then kicked it on the floor, picked it up and threw it hard against the tiles. Pretty much the whole back was cracked and I got banned from the PS2 for a month.

Not purposely. But I have gotten angry a game before, and shaking my arm + sweaty hand + extremely light sixaxis controler = broken sixaxis controller.
