Poll: Ever thrown a controller

[Tdc2182]

Surprisingly no.

I am known to Ragicus Maximus in Call of Duty, but I never will throw a controller. I did one throw a headset, and said headset is now kept together by wood glue and tape.

Since then I really decided that I needed to change my attitude when playing an online video game, and the most you will catch me doing is sighing every few "What the fuck?" deaths.

I haven't done it for a long time but I remember the last one I broke was a PS2 controller when playing Tony Hawks, this challenge was just pissing me off as I couldn't do the last bit then finally I lost it and threw it on the floor and it broke.

Now with a controller costing the best bit of £40 I can't really afford to just break them when a game pisses me off.

 

[Jodah]

Everyone has dropped a controller once or twice accidentally. Anyone who says they haven't is a liar! I've never rage thrown one though.

 

[Bravo 21]

well, I was once playing Tf2, and I walked around a corner to see and engi building something. I was so suprised that I threw my mouse out of shock,

I've dropped a couple of controllers, whether by accident or exasperation.

Maybe I'm just naturally unco but I'm sure most people have dropped a wiimote trying to put one's hand through the loop of fabric. Particularly whilst pinching the top bit of the cord trying the move the slide.

I've dropped controllers in exasperation *onto my lap* ....

But I've never thrown a controller. Came close with a wiimote, but that's what the safety is for ^_^

No, I've come close but never done it. I did throw a gameboy once but that was onto my bed.

That's probably good since I can put a lot of force into throwing something

I dont throw controllers, if I ever rage I rarely throw something. But if its bad enough, I'll chuck a bottle or something else in my room.

 

[WorldCritic]

Despite all of the screaming I've done while playing games, I've never thrown a controller. Every time I want to throw one I just remember how much it would cost to get another one and I calm down a little.

Gentlemen.

Spoiler: BEHOLD!

OT: ...I can control my controllers just fine, but I have thrown a few broken ones... on purpose... as a target for my 12 gauge...

 

[elcamino41383]

Yes I have. Generally speaking on a bed, pillows, couch, something else soft. Though I did once throw it on the floor in the frustration of not being able to beat the boss in Dragon Quest 8 for PS2. I don't know how I was messing up so bad but I was and failed so many times, I eventually chucked it at the floor. Still works like a dream, but that is the only time I threw it in a rage.

I've only ever threw one controller. The NES controller. Threw it a ton of times, never broke.

 

[tehbeard]

I bounced one of these of my brother's head for pulling the trip cord plug out on me during a game so he could win.

To those not in the know, this is the "duke controller", which is about the same density as the original Xbox.

His thick head saved him any brain damage. And the controller survived.

 

[Lawnmooer]

No. If I throw it it will break. If it's broken then how do I play more games?

Though I have bitten into one, my arm and several nearby objects.

I have also punched sofas, walls, tables, floors, hearths and the controller.

 

[Tomster595]

Only once out of frustration.. CoD2 on veteran.. the horror

 

[HappyDD]

As a kid I touchdown-spiked my NES controller in rage at the frustratingly punishing difficulty of Final Fantasy 1. Those NES controllers could handle it, which was good, since FF1 was mental. They don't even have magic points, just a maximum number of times you can cast spells! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, just thinking about it makes me want to smash my mouse!

 

[mrdude2010]

i've dropped one. occasionally ill rage throw one into the couch

 

[xchurchx]

One game made me throw my controller
Call of Duty
never EVER AGAIN..................................EVAR

 

[DocMcCray]

I'm usually really good with my controllers and always have been until hard mode final boss on Viewtiful Joe. Got so freakin' angry I just chucked my controller straight into the ground. I didn't care if I broke it or not.

 

[Risingblade]

Yup at my be when I have to go off somewhere or need to get it out of the way

 

[Firia]

odd topic...

when I went from ps2 to ps3, I had the cord incorporated into how I held the controller. How I sat, and how that cord laid allowed me to let the controller drape over a knee, for example. When I went ps3, I unconsiously tried doing that, and kept dropping my (then) sixaxis wireless controller. I've grown wise to that by now. But then? I dropped my controller a lot.
