I've been known to throw a controller or two in my time, turn off the console after losing to the computer or a live opponent, I've been known to even hit the person who won or throw the controller at their face, but never once did I break any of the equipment.

I don't hate the game, I hate the player. I rarely get upset on the game or the console, I get upset at the person who beat me. HAHA

The kid would grab an nes controller with both of his hands as if he was about to perform a curl, and smash the controller repeadetly into his forehead. That controller must have been forged by Gods as it was never damaged. Spy Hunter probably caused Adam permanent brain damage or at least a few concussions. Good thing he didn't own an Advantage.

And although the guy doesn't really throw the controller, my friend Bruce always gives the controller a flick of the wrist, in an attempt to spin the controller when he loses. It's a very "Pfft, whatever" move I see a lot of.


Also good thing he didn't have the power glove....that would be just awkward.

I've broken a few things out of anger in my younger years. Even now I still can have a rare moment of weakness. I think I broke a PS3 controller last year when I threw it on the floor. I don't know if I just don't know my own strength, or if those things are just flimsy to begin with. The left shoulder buttons were inoperable, one popped right out. It was a stupid and immature thing to do, but I figured I could just buy a new one so I just let myself go and vented some of that rage. You'll never see me do that to my Vita though. I have no plans of replacing that expensive thing any time soon

The SNES is a badass system. I used to pound on that thing every time I got mad as a kid(fuck you M Bison LOL). I still have it to this day. You can hear something rattling around inside when you move it, but the damn thing still works and I'm in my 30s now. That's Nintendo hardware for you.

Nope. Honestly never happened to me. I don't get gamer rage. I can get frustrated but it makes me persevere and I usually get through it.
