I've also bitten N64 cartridges before because I was so angry. I never throw controllers, but I need a way to express my rage. I make a point not to press hard enough to leave teeth marks, but damn is it ever satisfying.
"I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed."

"I expected more from you..."

<sigh...shakes head>

Those are also some common reactions.

Oh...and, depending on the season, I have found that N64 carts taste best if you pair them with fava beans and nice chianti. They really bring out the subtle texture and flavor of each cart. (Also, Aeroguage is particularly delicious if you sautee it with bacon, kale, and a touch of cider vinegar. You should try it sometime!)

Wait, are you saying you're a sentient N64 cart?

haha I remember my friend getting so angry that he smashed his xbox 360 controller and shoved a mcdonalds fries packet into the disk drive.

I'm more of an internal rager or I yell fuck. Although the other day Black dragon Kalameet from the dark souls dlc unleashed the beast in me and I threw my controller at the ground chipping a bit of the plastic.

The most I've ever been guilty of is dropping a controller. Happens pretty often for me, and I've noticed that as the console gens have advanced, the controller's owners have become more sensivitive to the issue. Never have I outright smashed a gaming component, but once cracked my own windscreen with my fist to stop myself from hurling the GPS out the window when it sent me the wrong way down the ICB...

WHY just today I got so annoyed at Balloon Kid I ripped it out of the Game Boy Player, threw it twice, and ended up breaking the plastic off of it.

I've been known to toss a controller and basically rage quit at times by turning off the console, but I've never broke anything.

I did witness a friend get so infuriated at madden so that he he threw his ps2 controller against the wall knocking out the r2 button. This made him more angry and he continued to walk into the middle of the street and shatter the controller against the pavement. It probably didn't help that I was basically rolling on the ground laughing the whole time.

I rushed to this topic as I just remembered a friend I had in Ohio named Adam Bettac.

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.
