Confessions of a gamer

OK I will start with an example.When I had the Super Nintendo my controller had a tooth mark in it from when I had gotten so mad at a game I bit it in anger:x.I do not recall the game.I just wanted to hear some funny storeys that could only happen to a gamer.

I was playingSpawn for the snes back in 1999 when I was 17 years old and the game was acting funny soI got real mad and kicked my snes which made it do a complete back flip and it never worked again after that.

I Love Gaming

I've killed many people out of anger relating to video game. Fortunately they were all in the games.

I just thought of another thing.I was trying to level up one of my stats in Ultima Online.Whatever the stat was I put weights on the buttons of my computer so the character would be doing that ability over and over there for leveling up faster.I left them there for like two hours.Is that cheating lol:lol:

well with snes and nes i would get so mad... i would bang the controller on my covert which was painted different colors.. so after about 7 years of this.. my controller had the whole thing covered in yellow green red and blue..

then the nes stopped working once in a while... so finally i took the games and started banging them in, until they would work

alright I know SOMEONE her can relate to getting mad at this game.... two words.... NINJA GAIDEN (first xbox version).

Anyways my story is that once during the level where you fight off multiple giant snake mini-bosses I got so sick of redoing **** only to get to the part where you fight 2 at once and die again. So after like 7 times I grabbed my controller by the cable did a whole lasso cowboy thing and threw it against the wall. Fortunately I have only one brother and we had 3 controls so we could both still keep play after it was torn in half :DAlucard_vx

I cut off the wire to the Nintendo Zapper to use it as a toy gun. PsyCho90

haha, ummm I haven't done anything to drastic, the worst thing i've done in anger over a videogame is punch a wall.

I was hyped for hour of victoryctfvyrsgurbnorn

LOL that is the best

I wont laugh I'll just say OUCH!!

This may help.I like Boogie Bunnies..a lot!:oops:

I've owned a great deal of systems(Let me think... NES, SNES, Geneis, GB, GBA, GameGear, 64, GC, X-box, 360, Wii, DS) including good gaming PCs over the years, and yet the only system i havent owned is anything from Sony.

My first purchase so far from Sony has been a PSP i got a month ago. I've enjoyed it greatly.

I destoryed the light gun on my Sega Master System by using it too close to the TV. I think I was probably 10 years old at the time.jrobinow

haha i remeber stuff like that when me brother beat my score on duck hunt and he was gash at it, then said lets see ya get close again and he just stood infront of the tv shooting from point blank was canny funny

i used to love supermario, some games i can get proper into , on mario i used to be that locked into the game when i used to do a really long jump id lift the old nes joypad in the air to give me a boost haha, used to play doom and wolf3d on my pc and when someone wud pop out of no where id jump with shock at being that locked into the game and getting a mini fright like someone just jumped out infront of me trying to scare me. at moment its me racing on forza 2, then not braking enough and trying to get around the corner and im leaning my body to the left or the right just to help get the car around the bend more easily, all dont help at all but makes me laff when i relise what im doingdjrobst

I think we all do the racing lean.I will do you one better.I've noticed in FPS I will try to lean to see around a corner.:P

When I didn't understand the save system of Dead Rising one time I turned the console off without saving. Then came back to find out that I had lost around 2 or 3 hours of work. I was raigng and didn't play the game for like two or 3 weeks after that. Sometimes on GH when I keep failing a song I'd punc the wall too, but no holoes or anything.

My favorite memory of gamer rage though was when my friend and I were playing NHL 08 shortly after the release. It was over XBL and he kept complaining when I'd score but then rub it in when he scored. So then I started taunting him when i scored and how I was winning. In the third he got up and it was tied then with 20 seconds left in the 3rd, it would've gone to overtime but I scored with 20 seconds left then I heard a long yell of the 'eff word' and then some mic scrambling and then I was like "Rob are you there?" and there was no answer or anything, and his players weren't moving for the rest of the game. A minute after the game ended he sent me a message on XBL that said 'I broke my controller" lol it was great

I once managed to snap most of the plastic casing of a Genesis controller in two over my knee after dying for the 100th time in some game I can't even remember now. Man some games from the 8 and 16 bit eras were incredibly hard - and often you would have to replay a bunch of difficult sequences just to get back to where you just died.

During that time I also spiked my SNES controller off the floor more times than I'd like to admit.

I was playing NBA Live '95 for the Sega Genesis, when my friend started using Will Purdue (7' cenetr on Chicago Bulls) to make 3 pointers.

I got so pissed, I snatched the game out and stomped it with the heel of my boot.

When I was about 6-8, I got my copy of Star Fox 64 and I beat the game in one sitting. Whenever my little cousins came over to play I gave them and unplugged controller until one day he caught up to it and asked me to plug it in so I didn't and he threw the controller at me. I didn't do anything I just laughed my ass off.ratchet3

haha that reminds me of what my mate graz done, he lent one of my mates 360s so he cud play halo 3, it was a core he had and when he brought it round he set it up and turned it on, then started asking the lad he lent it from where ya plug the controller into, he started being a nob laffing at him not knowing and wudnt tell him, so he lifted the xbox up and picked it up to take a look then when he put it down his xbox came up with disc unreadable, and they was a massive ring around his halo3 disc and it wudnt work no more, all because he thought it be funny to let him find out where to plug the controller in without telling him . he was gutted haha

wernt they just miles easier, used to have tresure island dizzy for my spectrum, and its about 2-3 hours to complete if you know it off the top of your head, and you only had one life. and had to start again from the beginging if ya died. canny harsh by todays standards.

it took a real long time before games decided ok we will let ya have continues like the arcades, and some games wud only give you a few. most games wudnt have save game option, if you were lucky you might have a pasword system like lemmings to get back where u were,

games got miles easier these days, first off they let ya load the game and not even have lives no more, if ya die its fine go back to the last save at the beginging of the level, then started having check points all da way thru the level so u only go backa tiny bit when u f up.

now its even easier where if you get shot at and loose energy its fine, ya dont even have to pick up some food or a first aid kit off the floor. just wait 10 seconds and we'll top it back up for ya.

no wonder they are that many games where people just complete them in a few days or the first week they get them. even on the hardest difficulty modes, stuff like ur energy restarting and endless saves and check points make even the hardest of games more than doable if you game to try and try again

Halo 2,About 3 years ago.I kept lossing the 3rd game ( the one your supposed to level up in ) so after lossing about 3 games at the 3rd time i went and gived it one more shot,So i won 2 and then at the 3rd one my whole team was winning about 43 to 31 so i thought i was going to win,I was doing terrible that game,and one guy from my team ( the one that was doing best ) had lagged out,Then we ended up lossing the game!I got so mad i threw my controller so hard on the ground the Joysticks poped right out.

i did the same thing when i was 5

Unlike most I never really get mad at games.. NEVER enough to actually do harm to my precious technology.

The ONLY time I ever get mad is in games like GRAW and Gears of War where you go through a long annoying sequence only to die an awkward death because of 1 guy, then it respawns you like 30 minutes behind. I shout obsenities when that happens. Nothing annoys me more.

trying to get FCs in GH 3... i swung my guitar like an axe at the couch and broke my headset in half
