Little urges you get from playing games for long periods of time.

I stopped playing Gran Turismo 3 while I was in Drivers Ed. It had me thinking too much about the best way to keep my speed up in turns and whatnot. I won't say it's not useful for learning actual cool stuff like driving lines and such, but instructors and parents don't like it when you treat every trip out on the road like a race.

Whenever I play Mirror's Edge I also get the urge to run, climb, and jump off of stuff. In fact, when I first got it I would think about the best way to scale buildings and run across the rooftops I'd see on my way to work.

Haha, I can relate to that, considering last spring my roommate and I were playing through a lot of the old Megaman games again. Good times.

I don't think anything ever made me want to throw my controller as much as sports' games, though.

Need for Speed II: Hot Pursuit always made me want to run from the cops and then ram them off a cliff.

[Raistlin]

That would be Need for Speed III, eestlinc. Get it right, because it was one of my favorite racing games ever as a kid.

The only racing game I ever liked.

[Kyros]

am I the only one who has never thrown a controller or done anything really b/c of gaming rage? I may get a little annoyed but just sigh and then stop holding myself back. For instance, when omega weapon in FFVIII got 3 turns in a row while my entire party was hasted one time I decided I was going to stop trying to beat him w/o aura in which next fight I had quistis as healer and squall/rinoa limit breaking his face in for a few mins straight ftw.

[Elly]

nope, you're not the only one, i've never thrown a controller... usualy when it gets close to that point i put it down for a little while and try again later when i've had time to calm down... $30+ a piece is just too much to be destroying on a regular basis...

[Shattered Dreamer]

Playing Fifa with my mates & losing 3-0 leads going on to lose on penalties pi$$es me off!

Playing COD online & getting killed by a grenade the moment I respawn 8 times in a row!

Both these give me the urge to throw the mouse/controller out the window!

[Jessweeee♪]

Those weren't the kind of urges I meant, guys, but okay

[Depression Moon]

I have gotten urges after playing Uncharted 2 to climb some random builidngs when I have a 30 min wait downtown when I wait for the bus. I also often have dreams about FF or Street Fighter.

[krissy]

i want to beat them with a stick
because im poor and need some money
