Poll: Ever thrown a controller

[X123Lewis123X]

When i was little and didn't care i threw my gamecube controllers at the wall and broke one
Now i am older i know i paid for them myself and therefore if i do throw them i throw them into a beanbag i have to the right of me right now

Happy Raging!

Threw mah XBox controller. It bounced off the floor, hit a wall, bounced off that, and landed in a box. It broke.

I answer your question with one of my own. Ever tried to beat the last boss of God of War on god mode?

ive dropped my 360 controller a few times when i set it on my lap, thinking its not gonna fall

Only onto a beanbag that was on top of another beanbag. I'm not going to break them out of petty rage but I will throw them to safety.

I was playing Dragon Age a few weeks ago, and I died. I went back to my autosave which was an hour lost. I threw my controller on the ground and hurt the L1 button. After throwing it again, the button started working again, so it all ended well.

I like corn, delicious buttery corn...

Seriously though, I've never thrown a controller, but when I was 8 I used to play Madden with my dad on the N64. He was surprisingly good and could usually keep up with me, but one day I absolutely smoked him. He demanded a rematch and I actually got up by 7 touchdowns. He then came close to scoring his first, but I intercepted his pass and ran for another touchdown. When that happened he threw my controller so hard it shattered. Bought me a new one though so it ended up being all good.

No, you know have expensive they've gotten? I have swore at the tv and punched pillows many times, though.

I threw my controller once, and almost broke it but It was a mad cat so I was able to unscrew it and put it back together.

very very rarely, I will get so angry at a game that I turn it off and then throw the controller onto my bed, or into pillows or something.

My Gamecube controllers probably have more total air time than I do, but damn that is quality hardware.

 

[Light 086]

I never have done it myself, but I have often entertained the idea and let it hang in the air for a while. Then I remember that I paid for it, so I don't end up doing it.

 

[zehydra]

haha, if you throw your controller, then you have anger problems. If you find yourself in this situation, make sure that you take a break and do something else that is more pleasurable, than playing video games.

i did as a kid a LOT, games back then were just sooooo much harder tho so these days new games dont frustrate me because they are really easy

the older games i still love to play and they do still frustrate me but im an adult now so i just stop playing and regain my composure instead before trying again

 

[akibawall95]

Only once while I was playing Ninja Gaiden on the hardest difficulty I was angry out of my mind I must have died at least 50 times. (Don't worry the controller is fine)

 

[Ghengis John]

I have thrown controllers back in the day, less so after I was paying for them.

 

[Snotnarok]

No. They're far too expensive for me to do something like that.

Yeah I second that Bob, 50 dollars for a second of frustration relief? Ahhh..no. No I'm good.
I won't throw classic controllers either, I love my Genesis controllers D:

The only controller that was ever thrown around here was one that broke from use, a lot of use...But that doesn't count it's just a paper weight at that point.

I did throw an SNES controller down a few times while playing Street Fighter 2 with my brother, but those things were built like bricks. The SNES was dropped down a 16 step flight of stairs and worked for a good 15 years after. The only other time I remember throwing a controller was when I was playing that driving level in the new Alone in the Dark on 360. It was more of a toss, and it was on the couch, but seriously, anyone who has played that level knows why I was pissed at it.

 

[blankedboy]

I'm holding a gamepad right now, should I throw it?

 

[Levi93]

I've dropped them accidentally but never thrown them out of rage.
