I popped an anti-stress ball after losing Level 9 of Tetris Worlds for about the fifteenth time. I have also tossed my old PS2 out the second-story window when it decided it didn't want to read disks anymore.
Iv broken things while gaming but never in a rage from loosing usally when i get distracted and get up.
Like once when someone knocked at the door i got up un aware my headphone wire was hanging between me and the door, i walked though the wire craphing down the headset and anything elce the headset wire was reaped around, resulting in the braking of the wire. that was a good headset.
Whenever I feel the need to throw things, I always seem to maintain enough composure to throw them at a soft surface, like my sofa. I've hit my Xbox 360 controller off the floor a few times though, but it survives. I also type with a lot of force when I'm really angry about something (although this one tends to be life rather than games), so I'm probably going to end up breaking a key some time.
Usually copious swearing does the job for me though.
I Broke my first ds mostly in half by throwing on my linolium floor and then repeatedly stomped on it after I lost at castlevania after 3 floors without saving. It was kind of stupid because I broke the cartridge and now my ds is sort of wobbly and every thing comes up yellow (I just call it liver failure now)
got so mad at some NES game (I don't even remember haha) that I threw the cartridge down our 20 story building. No one got hurt though, except that game.
I try and take my rage out on something that doesn't hurt when I punch it.
I think it was Mario Kart Time Trials that did this, but I was pissed off my vision was going blurry and I probably looked like a volcano, so I smashed my hand down on the couch beside me,
and right down on my very, VERY, hard plastic glasses case.
There was an indent on my hand, and it really freaking hurt. The case was fine...
I smashed my mouse with my fist when it wasn't working properly. The damn track ball wasn't working right. After I smashed it, I heard it break and clinking inside....But it still didn't work. My sister came in. popped out the track ball and cleaned it. Worked fine after that. Still not sure what was rattling around inside.
My buddies and I were in our dorms and playing COD4 (Not like we're all nerds, it was an odd occasion.) And, I'd gotten knifed by the worst guy out of all of us.
So he ran to my door and started yelling about how I sucked and he was awesome, yadda yadda yadda and the like.
Well I was having nothing of that, so I picked up an empty beer can and chunked it at him. After I heard glass breaking and an explitive being shouted in my direction, I realised that can was in fact an empty beer bottle.
Not since Tekken 5 came out and I got introduced to my new best friend, Jinpachi. The fact that I had the (roughly 5 pounds) arcade stick made a potential That-Fucker-Killed-Me-AGAIN-Rage much more damaging. Thankfully, I never broke anything.
I've never really gotten that mad at a game but; I once beat my brother in some old racing game on my ps2, and I mocked him so much for losing that he kicked a hole in my basement drywall. Very funny.
A while ago, like in 2007, I got so mad because I couldn't beat Freya on Expert on GH1 only because it kept lagging and the sound wasn't aligned with the video. I got so mad that I ripped an old Pikachu doll that I got years ago, in half by the ears.
Also, recently, I was playing UFC and I kept losing the title fight against Forrest Griffin in my career, so I was looking for things to smash that wouldn't break. I have never samaged any controllers or consoles though.
Actually, I threw a controller for the first time the other day. ODST Firefight has some horrible game design. For instance, spawning me in the place I just died at, or, despawning the rocket launcher I had so cleverly got during the weaker enemies attacks right as the chieftans charged me.
