Ever thrown a video game controller out of anger?

[Drink Up Me Cider]

Getting cheese whizzed against this bitch on Dead or Alive 4 whilst trying to get a gold medal on time attack mode and wasting five minutes on her.

[Time Lord Soundwave]

I think when I was younger and playing NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis. Those old school controllers were built to last.

These days, there are certainly times when I'm close to throwing one, but as some of you have already noted, they're too expensive to replace, so I think better of it.

My knee and my couch, on the other hand, take a beating. Just today, in fact, trying to beat M. Bison with Ryu in Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max for PSP. I'd never throw that, of course.

[The Ichi]

Mario Kart Double Dash. That's all I'm going to say. That f***ing game should have come with a years free warranty of extra Gamecube controllers.

The most recent example of me smashing a joystick into the ground was in a Madden franchise where I missed out on the Super Bowl due to getting shafted by a video review that was incorrect. I lost my battery pack and have had to play corded ever since, but I actually found said battery pack today ;D

But it's always a sports game that will make me toss controllers. And since I have 3 of them for my 360, it doesn't hurt as much as it would if I hadn't bought a used system with 3 controllers.

The Fatal-4-Way match on story mode of Day of Reckoning 2, it wouldn't have been that bad except for the fact that EVERYONE AND THEIR FREAKING MOTHER KEPT TRIPLE TEAMING ME!!

I've came pretty close just recently playing Red Faction: Guerrilla, but time and again, I stop just short.

I've done it plenty of times when I was younger, but then I realized I don't want to pay $30 for a new controller every damn year.

C'mon guys,throwing a video game controller?really?If I get frustrated with a game,I just push the power button.

[Michael Coello]

I've done it a few times, and even stuck a game cartridge in a freezer to "teach it a lesson". It wasn't plugged in though, so I don't think it counts.

[The Charismatic Enabeler]

Thrown them all dating back to Atari 2600. I've spent more money on controllers than I have on systems.

[Maidpool w/ Cleaning Action]

Never. The worst I do if pissed off at a game is turn it off and watch some TV.

[Deleted]

Never did really. The worse I did was just drop it lightly on a couch or 2 inches of the ground or throw it 2 inches above a soft couch.

My friend on the other hand went through so many controllers or screwed up many controllers in the past. The gamecube controller was stronger then the N64 but the old ones were built to last.

[Alucard]

Only once that I can remember, didn't break, and luckily it didn't break the glass I accidentally threw it against.

[Angus Mcloud]

Twice that I can recall. Once with No Mercy when I had a handicap match against Road Dogg and X-Pac and once playing Day of Reckoning for Gamecube when I couldnt beat The Undertaker in the final match of the storyline mode.

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

I didn't throw controls, my frustration was more of an angry acknowledgment of defeat. So instead of throwing the controller, I'd open my hands and let it fall and just give an exasperated "f*** you and the horse you rode in on" to the screen.

I've saved a fortune in controllers and other accessories by taking a "F*** me? No, f*** YOU!" approach to impudent games.

[Firearm: Supposed Big Deal]

Only done it once. Kingdom Hearts, where you battle solo against Riku/Ansem. The main reason for my frustration: cutscenes were unskippable in this game, and you had to sit through about 5-minute cutscene leading up to the fight. Took me about 10 tries.

And one of those times, I was able to heat up some pizza rolls--AND EAT ALL OF THEM!--in the time it took to finish the cutscene.

[♥ Bunnyslinger ♥]

nope never

[Pervy Stone Cold]

I'm pretty laid back. [sarcasm] Also I am so good at video games I don't need to. [/sarcasm]
But really, I won't throw a controller but maybe stop playing for a while.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

I used to have Rhino controller by Ascii for Super NES. I was playing super Street Fighter 2, hardest level using Balrog I think. After loss 800 I lost my shit and chucked it. It looped on my arm, came straight back and hit me square in the forehead.

If you never had the joy of a Rhino, the damned things could literally crack walnuts and not get a scratch on them.

Fourth pad in that pic.

[Big L]

I may have it's been a long time since I've done it

[Next Level was WRONG]

No. However a friend of mine once accidentally threw his Gameboy out of a second-story window.



The thing didn't even have a scratch.
