Sometimes if the grenade spammers in CoD 4 are really pissing me off, I'll out of rage throw the controller. I've done this quite a bit and it has only resulted in the partial damage of the left bumper.

I'm not sure how much could be chalked up specifically to frustration, but I remember having to replace a whole lot of springs on my old Thrustmaster flightsticks. I've certainly taken plenty of controllers to the edge though; the NES gamepad in particular was *surprisingly* flexible.

COD4. Mile high club.

Slammed my controller into my forehead so hard that I broke the joystick.
I played that mission for 6 hours, literally, before I beat it.

On topic: I played COD4 until my game wouldn't play a few online maps, and then I threw it into my friend's wall and stomped on it until it broke. I was pretty pissed. And, my friend broke his Halo 3 game and case when the second level wouldn't load. We do things like this all the time though...

So has anyone ever actually broken a controller or peripheral or other input device when frustrated? I've been gaming for years, and I've done the teeth grinding, shouting at the screen, claiming the game is cheating, and gripping so tight on the controller I can hear it creaking, but I've never actually broken one.

Anyone got any amusing, frustrating or interesting stories about frustration breakage?

EDIT: Anyone heard any stories from Escapist Staff on the subject? I know they did their 'Frustrating Gamin Experiences' but I don't recall any breakage.

And please, if you don't have a story and want to say 'They're just video games', don't. I just want to read some stories of frustrating breaks, not how you don't break stuff
I havnt brocken any 360 controllers (yet) but i used to trow ps2 controllers at the wall. 1 time i was playing nfl street (fucking hate that game now)and i threw the controller at the wall so hard it shattered, and the wire pulled down my ps2 and that broke so needless to say i started controlling myself after that but id say ive brocken about 8 to 10 controllers in my days of gaming

Edit: i did break 2 headsets from dieing in halo or cod 4 or something but once i ponyed up for the wireless headset i stopped throwing those out of my ear

World of Warcraft, and this wasn't my keyboard thankfully, but I have a steel water bottle. Its about 2am and my guild had been wiping on Illidan for about a month sadly. We had him at 1 percent and power went out. The water bottle went through my door and woke my roommate who was pissed. I quit the game about 2 weeks before the sunwell patch after illidan it was boring.

I hated jabu jabu's belly. Everything looks the same! I hate it ALMOST as much as the water temple.
It's wierd, I think I'm the only person I know who really enjoyed the water temple. It was just a case of memorising where things were and exploring every avenue available.

The only part I hated was that annoying whirpool dodging section.

As for Jabu Jabu, terrible navigation and signposting, two annoying bosses, boring backtracking, unfair fights against emenies you can't kill and to top it all off... a goddamn escort mission. Ugh.

My brother kicked me over an old x-men fighting game. To be fair he did warn me but I assumed he meant he would kick me in the game not irl.

My friend once broke his controller by throwing it on the ground so hard it bounced off the ceiling and hit him on the head. No joke! I witnessed this happen!

That would make in interesting challenge... put two pro gamers in a bouncy castle and see who can win a one on one COD4 game without falling off thier chair.

The loser has to remain in the bouncy castle as the winner deflates it and laughs.
