Do any of you throw tantrums while playing video games?

If so, to what extent? Hopefully not like this kid....

I was waiting to see dude pass out from hyperventilating. How the hell does one take games this seriously?

I admit, I'd be lying if I said I've never thrown a controller before.

P.S. That video is very, very old. Like, 3 or 4 years old.

Perhaps a "god dammit" and raising my voice a bit, when games get especially frustrating and broken, like Eureka Seven or GoW on the hardest difficulty. Might be followed with me explaining to myself in my head why a game shouldn't be like that. >.>

WHAT? Shut up.

I have a couple of times (temper tantrums and cussing, that's it) while playing Ninja Gaiden Black. I never bothered finishing the game. Nor does the series hold any interest to me. Including NG2, which I'm not exactly hyped about or exited.

But as far as throwing the controllers. No. I've always been taught how to appreciate and take care of the things I've gotten (from parents. relatives or paying it myself). In my case, I bought all my Gen 6 systems with the job i got after college. And I've always taken care of them, including my car. If I'm really ticked off during a game, I just simply give up on it and turn the system off.

Nope. I play lots of online FPS games (though not so much lately) and other than the occasional "damn," I don't get frustrated to any great degree.

I've never done anything like hitting my keyboard or throwing a controller. I'm surprised some actually do. It's a game. You should be having fun (and/or simply enjoying multiplayer competetion in my case) ..the moment that ceases to be, it's time to put the game down and do something else.

The main offender for me lately is World of Warcraft. Some quests make me throw a few salty words in the general direction of my monitor. However, even though I've toned down my tantrums, any game still has a chance of pulling one out of me.

Edit: And no, I'm not as bad as the guy in that video. I try not to damage my hardware. ;)

The only game that's really made me frustrated enough to make a note of this generation was DoA4.

Except for this one CoD4 match a few weeks ago...f***ing spawn-sniping SOB. 8)

Probably more than I really should. Exeed_Orbit

The worst I did was squeeze my controllar so hard my hands hurt. It was when trying to get that mile high club achievement on COD4.

Man that was frustrating.

I usually have a fit, I wouldnt think of breaking anything $50 or more, This is why my wireless headset has to be glued back together and the rechargeable battary is mangled for the 360 control, Im trying to relax more though when i game, I hate when stuff goes wrong and it shouldnt, Like getting killed by lag.

Gaming Stuff ive broken.

Ps3 Sixaxis- Totaly destroyed.

360 Wireless headset, I have to glue the ear peice back on.

360 battrie- It works but it looks damaged.

I curse and swear at some games..... for instance, yesterday.... (***small spoiler for COD4***) I'm going through COD4 on Veteran.... I'm on the last level, where you are trying to go through the bunker to stop the missiles... and some parts just seem so freaking impossible..... IMO COD4 is a much harder game than Ninja Gaiden.... the only thing that makes COD4 doable on Veteran are the checkpoints...

Ever notice in COD4 that you can try to get through a part like 20+ times and on the 21st try some *badguy* comes out of somewhere that he didn't on the previous 20 attempts..... I think the game knows your about to hit a checkpoint, and is like.... "HEHE **** HIM, *spawns enemy behind player* BLAM!" dead in less than 1 sec.

I'll get frustrated at a game, but never to the extent of throwing a controller or yelling especially loudly.funnymario

same here. sometimes i get a little pissed but i don't wreck my own stuff nor scream.

I mean I've gotten upset and maybe whisper a cuss word or two, but never anything at all like this lil wonder.
