Has a videogame "figuratively" showed you the middle finger?

Haze. Oh for the love of God, Haze. I spent $60 thinking it was going to live up to the expectations and that it would be a good filler until MGS4 came out a week later. It gave me the finger with its horrible vehicle controls, stupid plot, bad graphics, and npcs that would not shut the hell up! Aye. It flipped me the bird and took $60 and around 8 to 11 hours of my life away.
CoD4 on veteran dificulty. I was hiding behind a wall and suddenly heard a mass of tinkling noises, then 11 grenade indicators appeared.
Wish I had a screenshot of that since its probably one of the most awsome yet infuriating memories I have of any game.

A PS2 game, Stuntman, where I tried for hours to complete the first level without crashing the car or failing the time limit in the middle of the level (though I am a racing game newb), and then when I finally got to the end it telling me I was still too slow, even though I made it to the end of the course before the time limit ran out. I wanted to smash the TV with a sledgehammer.
The game in question isn't necessarily directly responsible for this one, but anyone remember about seven years ago, when Super Smash Bros. Melee was still new? EGM ran an "April Fools" article saying that one could unlock Sonic and Tails as playable fighters by scoring 20 KOs in Cruel Melee mode.
For those of you who've never played it, Cruel Melee is exactly what it sounds like; cruel. At that point in my life, I was no slouch at Smash Bros, but still could only manage 2 or 3 KOs. That didn't stop me from trying for hours and hours and hours, though.
Then I heard that the rumor was a fake. I could practically hear Master Hand laughing tauntingly at me.

Me and a friend almost got wardriving (MW2 spec op) done last night. Or at least we would have if it weren't for the fact that, I lost connection online, and was signed out. Thus quiting the game on us, the worst of it was, we were only a few short steps from the end. I swear I was this close to losing it.
I have Windows Vista, so it's not really the game, it's the system...
I will purchase Windows 7 as soon as I am not poor, because that is not bad.
But in a not bug-related issue, Crysis seemed to be laughing at me when it made me fight a humongous alien spaceship ON FOOT on a SINKING aircraft carrier that also happened to be on fire.

not when malfoy gets snagged behind the piano letting me take my own pace when I kick his assrandomrob said:
Never really felt the middle finger in a normal circumstance. Though I was thoroughly pissed at OOT the other night trying to play with some glitches you need to be at the final fight for. Fighting Ganondorf and his bullshit lightning ball is frustrating when I can't sit thorugh the entire epic fight afterwards.
Fallout 3, The Pitt - I decided to try the "go in and shoot everything that isn't me" option, instead of hiding and going all Spartacus like what was suggested. I fight my way past all their guards, kill everyone at the outpost (at this point, I'm essentially a power armored, combat shotgun-wielding avatar of DEATH), and when I come in, I get knocked unconscious by...
...3 fellows with lame armor, who are all armed with pointy sticks.
I promptly sent a very strongly worded letter to Bethsada, along with two photographs: the first being of myself hulking out and putting a keyboat through the monitor, and the second with me flipping the bird off to them. Double barrels.
