Poll: Breaking controllers?

[Nostalgia]

A Gamecube one. On accident though.

 

[Lancer723]

I had a Wavebird controller, I put it through a wall.
It actually worked better after that which was the ironic thing, though I truly broke it the next time I threw it and it hit a stud.

I pretty much stopped throwing controllers after that, decided it was too expensive to support my rage.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

I don't, mainly out of common sense. PS3 controllers are expensive.

 

[mythbuster343]

I have thrown them once or twice, but so far, all my controllers are in tact to this day

 

[Red Dragon414]

I don't, and even though my boyfriend does it, I still think it's insanely stupid to do so.
Now you need to go buy a new controller, and what if you couldn't wait to smash it before you quit the game? now you can't save because your controller is gone. Good job.

Your question is too... childish sounding... to lack a better term. When I say childish I mean that the sentence was constructed by a child grammatically.

First off, you never state HOW. You should say "Have you ever broken your control in A. A fit of rage? B. On accident for playing to hardcore. C. After having used it so much for so long." You only elude to the controller being broken in a pre-pubescent fit of rage."

Second. The question in your poll should be the same question in the body of your text. The question in your poll is Do You? I assume this is a follow up question in which the former would be: Breaking controllers? So the question in your poll is: Breaking controllers? Do You? I answered: Yes, one time my PS3 controller snapped because I was gripping it to hard and I got scared during a stealth sequence in MGS:3. All the lights were off and then half way through my dog jumps onto my lap and SNAPPPPPP, my controller was gone.

Now the question in the body of your post is (or is what I think it is since you don't really state a question but go on a tangent about how your boyfriend does for w/e asinine reason) Have you ever broken a controller out of anger? In which case my answer is: No. I like to think myself to be a little mature than that. Plus, I have to buy my own controllers and dishing out $60 for a new one sounds like bad times.

I assume your b/f is prepubescent or immature and he probably still lives with his parents who pay for most of his stuff. Now don't take this as an insult, I'm 20 and I still live with my parents while I go to school; but no self respecting person would go out and break a $40 - $60 controller, especially if he has to go out and pay for it himself or have the disrespect to force his parents to dish out the money to get a new one. That's just as much as a new game.

I suggest making your new poll question: Have you ever broken your controller? and make the new poll choices. A. On accident. B. Because of wear and tear. C. In a fit of rage. D. I have never broken a controller. Than the body of your paragraph will make a little more sense.

Wow, taking grammar a little serious are we? LOL Anyhow just wanted to say a couple things, first off, the whole breaking your controller because you got scared... FUNNY STUFF..
And second, I have broken a few of my controllers out of fits of rage, not only that, but an end table, a couple picture frames, and there are a couple holes in my crappy apartment plaster walls. Obviously I live in my own place, and yet I still break my stuff. Most of you people are wondering why would people break their own things? They would just have to go out and buy new ones. Well some people, including me have anger problems, and thats just the only way that said people may feel a little better, or feel thats how they get out their anger. Not all my broken stuff was because I was mad at a game, I was mad at the picture frame, my bf, ect. But my Halo limited edition xbox controllers X button doesnt work quite right ever since playing CoD4 on realistic. I am not proud of it, but I have the comfort of knowing that when my xbox does take a crap, (this is my third xbox because of overheating, red ring, or broken drive) I can just go get a new one for free because I was smart enough to get an extended warranty which includes replacing my broken controller...

 

[Shycte]

Never. Ever!

I'm mature

 

[Grimm91]

I have only broken a few controllers. All of them from over use.

 

[Baneat]

Now why the fuck would you break your controler? them things cost money dammit!

I aint mada controlers!

Good because it you broke controlelrs and you were made of them, it would be called self harm. I've never broken a peripheral in my life, intentional or otherwise.

 

[UpSkirtDistress]

To Me thats a sign of the highest level of retardation. Its also a big hint to the low intelligence and mental abilities of the person.

 

[Moormur]

My original N64 controler is broken. I think the little ball joint thingie for the analog stick has been worn to nothing.

 

[NeoDeath90]

I normally throw it on my bed so the only thing it suffers is a nice cushiony pillow. If I break it, the only reason is because of bad aim.

 

[hondommond]

....reported

It was an accident, moron.

Personal insult, reported again. Your not helping your case.

You sir...are mean...

And on the main topic...I got pissed at guitar hero one day for the game lagging out and making me fail TTFAF almost 90% through and also having a really nice score... about 650k dont quite remember but I failed and tore the wammy bar right off...not total destruction of the controller but there was rage...lots of rage...

 

[hondommond]

I've never broken a controller but once I had my Game Boy in my coat pocket and I fell right onto the pocket and ruined the screen.

I still have my gameboy pocket and the first lair of the screen is gone and so is the rest of the casing its just one big ugly hunk of crap and it still works...but you have to play it in some seriously bright light or you cant see a thing..point is it still works...

 

[ultra_v_89]

I don't break controllers, I try to vent my rage on the actual cause of it and I can never see the reason being my controller, I <3 my 360 controllers. My INTERNET on the other hand, is angsty and suicidal due to the sturdy flow of hatred I unleash upon it on a daily basis. Oh, and my sisters Wiimotes have bore alot of hate aswell, I don't break them because they aren't mine but those things are so damn frustrating, usually I'll say something along the lines of "STUPID GIMMICKY PIECE OF ****!" When it doesn't register that the frantic failing of the wii mote means I would like to knife the approaching zombie rather then fellate him.

 

[LewsTherin]

Are you kidding? These days those things are like $60!

 

[Railgun88]

Definitely should have had an option for 'used to'. I never actually broke a controller but I did damage them when I was a kid. On my NES I used to bite the controller and the cords as hard as I could. But I knew not to bite into the wires, just the housing, so I never got zapped or broke the controllers and its amazing what electrical tape can fix.

Same. You cant break an xbox controller no matter how hard you bite.

 

[Spleenbag]

I don't, and even though my boyfriend does it, I still think it's insanely stupid to do so.
Now you need to go buy a new controller, and what if you couldn't wait to smash it before you quit the game? now you can't save because your controller is gone. Good job.

*snicker snack*

Jeez, mate, do you have to be so critical about grammar? A simple "Check your grammar next time" would suffice; you don't need to rip apart his entire post because his poll doesn't match up with it.

On topic: I've never broken a controller, simply because, as others as have stated, I'm not made of money and can't just repurchase controllers left and right. When I get pissed at a videogame, I do make a sort of vertical throwing motion to get stress out of my arms, but considering I'm directly in front of the TV it would not be a good idea to follow through.

 

[vultureX21]

Now why the fuck would you break your controler? them things cost money dammit!

I aint mada controlers!

If you were, I would set up a mining operation, mining away at your delicious controller-filled interior.

...Sorry, I guess that's kind of creepy.
Whoops.

EDIT:

....reported

Personal insult, reported again. Your not helping your case.

You can only report someone once. It doesn't matter after that first report.
Also, if this was a "(no text)" thing, you should've just waited. It's only polite.

Agree with Max, you're being a NARC.

Hooray, I was agreed with!

while your probably right in that daminahell was reporting on an unfinished topic, I prefer my view, that he's Tygerfires boyfriend, and he's pissed at her telling everyone he breaks shit!.

Theory accepted. Fan-fiction forthcoming.
