Poll: Ever thrown a controller

[mireko]

Nope, but I do swear at the screen sometimes.

 

[Danny Ocean]

No, but I've smacked my mouse against the mousepad.

 

[Dasrufken]

Only into a pile of pillows and safety. I paid for those controllers, I'm not gonna break them.

^this.


Mostly happens when i play FIFA 11 with my little brother... He's annoyingly good at it.

 

[spartandude]

i dropped them when i was gettig frustrated and sometimes by accident

i did one kinda throw my mouse when i was playing one of the STALKER games and one bit scared the shit out of me so i jumped and accidently threw my mouse, it landed on my bead so it was ok

For those who can remember the glory days of the NES, at that point, everyone I knew had thrown a controller at least once. They were indestructible, however. After games like Contra, TMNT, and the first (and by far most needlessly difficult) Castlevania, it was nigh impossible not to throw a controller. Great games that made for better gamers, but so painful achieving the skill level required to play, much less beat these games. At least on the Atari 2600, you could just walk away because they had no ending.

No, never thrown a controller through rage or otherwise. Anyway, whenever i lose repeatedly on a game, or have just had a devastating game over (i.e. 2 hours leveling without saving then get wiped out) i just give a dejected sigh and try again (help! I'm trapped in skinner's box!!!).

I threw one once during a bike chase in GTA IV. Some car in the lane next to me turned into me and caused me to fail, and I had been struggling with that particular chase for some reason. The only time I've ever thrown a controller...and I break it. Learned my lesson. It's too expensive to get that mad about games.

I'll throw my controller, but onto something soft so that I don't break it. I never get angry enough to want to break something.

 

[Nouw]

Never, I'm not that type of Gamer that throws their controller. Besides, I paid good money (and sometimes received as a gift) so why would I waste it?

 

[Skyline16]

If you are frustrated enough to throw a controller and break it,
You need to not do that because games are about having fun and if you are that frustrated, take out the game and take a break

 

[Iwana Humpalot]

I don't never throw my controller, because i might break it when doing so. But i have dropped my controller countless times >.<

 

[Artina89]

I haven't really gotten that mad at a game. If I feel that I am getting frustrated I will turn the game off and walk away and do something else for a while. Controllers are expensive, as is most of the stuff in my flat and my parents place. They would end me if I broke their stuff because I got mad at a videogame.

gamefaqs inspired ftw

 

[kommando367]

I threw a PS2 controller once.

 

[Xyphon]

Threw one on the floor pretty hard last month and have yet to find all the pieces. Broke hard enough for the plastic to slice through duct tape. "

Battlefield, I love you to death, but WHY must you piss me off more than any other franchise out there!?

 

[DasDestroyer]

Once, out of frustration, but at a pillow.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Wow, seems there are quite a few maniacs roaming around these forums.
If something really frustrates you somuch why not put the controller down and take a breath

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

Only into a pile of pillows and safety. I paid for those controllers, I'm not gonna break them.

This, and that's only a very few times. Not even from anger so to say, just fed-up-ness:].

 

[Sovereignty]

I've thrown a couple. Usually onto the bed though. But one time I did throw it at the bed, it bounced, went through my 3rd floor window and shattered on the ground outside.

It was a sad day.

 

[spartandude]

One of my friends is a very serious gamer and in all honesty for a couple of months he was getting through 1 or 2 controllers a week from when he was throwing them with rage, every now and then he gets a new one.
