Itchy point

I was playing some game on some console yesterday. I got up to a level and kept dying because I couldn't get past a certain point. The checkpoint was only just a few steps away from the certain point I kept dying on. I played it to tears.
Try and try again, I couldn't do it. I got so angry, that I ripped out my bazooka and blew a hole in the console, and ran around my house kicking the walls in and swearing. It ruined my whole day and made me angry.

Today, I thought I'd give it one more try, and passed the point with ease.

Has this, or anything similar, ever happened to you guys?

Happens all the time, and not just with video games. It's one of those things, you know.

The most notable example I can think of is Abe's Oddessy. That game was RIDDLED with bits like that. Got there in the end though.

Yep.It happens with all the games I play. I was working on getting the best ending in a certain game. I done all it told me to do but every now and then, I seemed to leave the smallest thing out. Due to my boredom, I kept doing the same thing over and over again to view what I was working for :mad2: and left it for months...but in the end, I managed to do it in one go :D and ended up with one of the best endings I'd ever seen but then suddenly got bored after viewing it once :confused: Gaming is a thing that's there to just annoy you when all you need is a break :cool:

Happens to me all the time
Maximo cracked my controller

I recall Metroid Prime 2 being a controller breaker.

That happened to me a couple of times on the Splinter Cell games.

mine's tetris

Aw, hell yeah. I broke my Logitech turbo controller and Sony DualShock2 that way. Now I can only play games that accept a standard PS1 non-analog controller.

This recently happened to me when I was playing Super Metroid. I was stuck on Phantoon. :(

Kinda. I think that the more worked up you get about not being able to do something, the less and less you can do it each time. There was a bit in Wind Waker which really wasn't that hard but because I got kinda worked up about falling off some platform a couple of times, I kept messing it up everytime. Then I just calmed down, tried again and did it with ease. I get mad easily when I can't do stuff though. >=|

It happens all the time, but I've learned how to avoid such situations.

Would that be to never play video games? :(

No...NO! :mad2:
But I just learned not to stress over such trivial matters. :D

in and out of the gaming experience
yes
