Thread: Broke a record breaking my game

  1. #1

    Default Broke a record breaking my game

    I just damaged a game to the point where it will not load by tossing my controller at the console when I got really pissed off with it. Have you ever done this?

    This is a new record for me, as it happened within two days of purchasing the (fortunately second hand for a fiver) game. The same controller is currently missing its R1 and R2 buttons, or rather when I reattach them they stay pressed down constantly.

    Oh, and to pre-empt any replies that will no doubt appear, yes I know I have some anger management issues :P I learned everything I know about rage from my dad ^_^

    I treat mine like not-babies, as I'd sooner throw a baby than my controller around. My brother does, though, and he broke one of mine one time :sad: I buried it and lit a candle.

    No I haven't done this since I know how to just set the game down and walk away, and don't feel the need to spend butt loads of money replacing things if I decide to break them.

    I might shout at the screen, or thump the table if I think something is particular BS, but I don't get riled up by games like I used to for the most part.

    I used to bang my controller on the (concrete) floor if I got frustrated with a game. The worst thing that happened was the vibrate function broke on the left side of the controller.

    Though I once threw a Wet Wet Wet CD against the wall, repeatedly, until it broke. I have too much respect for games (even if they are crap!) to do that.

    The most heated thing I do is probably just say, "Spoon smurf," or something similar when I die. Doesn't hurt anybody and it makes me laugh every now and then.

    I've yet to break anything out of anger while playing a video game, but I find the idea rather hilarious.
