What are some things that you broke or almost broke on account of losing in a game too much?

I repeated bashed my Super Tennis cartridge into a wall and threw it in the garbage

Benefit of the Wii is its attached to your wrist so you can't throw and break it. :P

In multiplayer games, I don't really care if I lose. In single player games when I lose I just sigh and either try again or turn it off for a while.

I just start yelling and button mash on the controller, bur it also depends on how I lost. If I just plainly lost a match online then I won't get mad and continue playing. If I lost in anything by luck, lagging, or because of somebody else in my team being a dutchbag, then I will get mad.

Too bad I dont have a Wii then. I usually throw the contoller as far as the cord will let me. Any farther and I would probably yank the console out off cabinet and break it then I would be sad and have to attend anger management.

i think it depends on the game. Sometimes losing makes me better, or makes me realize that i'm doing something wrong, like when fighting a tough boss in an RPG. if i keep on losing, it's time to change strategies...

but it really gets to me if i keep on getting sniped in an MMO Shooter. tough to get better when i only live for 10 seconds. never broken anything intentionally. probably some busted controllers from smashing those buttons a little too hard, though.

I bear defeat a lot less then I used to.

I still can endure chronic defeats in some situations, and occasionnal defeats in most situations...but far less then I use to.

Where I was just plainly learning before, now I need an acceptable reason as to why I was defeated. In a strategy game it is easy to figure such, but in a RPG, it is getting a lot more tedious, as RPG have little strategy involved so if I associate defeat to artificial downtime (MMO) and artificial challenges (rah took you by surprise now you lose XYZ for a death), I may just quit the game now.

I only get annoyed if it is the fault of the game (dodgy controls, poor camera e.t.c.) or if I am playing a human opponent and they use cheap tactics repeatedly. I don't mind getting my ass handed to me by the likes of Ikaruga or F-Zero GX because any failure is the fault of the player on those games.

I've broken a few keyboards/mice in my time. :D

When I know i've been outclassed then I don't mind so much but if a spawn killing camper wins then I get annoyed. After I calm down I usually make a point of fragging them as many times as possible.

I hate losing so much, even thinking about it makes me lose control of my bodily funct....

Oh man! See? I just messed my pants again!

Seriously, I try to learn from each time I lose at a game. Any game. One could think, though, that since I tend to lose so much, eventually I will become the Aristotle of gaming or something, with so many learning experiences.

But no.

True. he never loses. Until he faces me. Then he curls up in a corner, whining and begging for his well being.

I never play to win, I play so others lose, because that's where the fun is. I love PvP and I love provoking people in game to start a fight so they both lose while I take the prize.

Sun Tzu says that the best wars are wars not fought and I agree!

The fact that you guys break stuff gives me total pleasure in ruining your fun.

Damn I feel bad but I LOVE it :)

Depends on the game, and situation. Losing half an hour or so of progress due to losing makes me cranky, as does repeatedly losing the same area/fight over and over and over. Most recent example was on PoP: Two Thrones. Don't ever do the 2nd chariot part and subsequent boss fight without sand. Seriously. Don't.

Never actually broken/damaged a controller, when I get really mad I tend to punch the hell out of my couch or legs, and/or swear a lot. Saves me money. :P
