Poll: Ever thrown a controller

[Irriduccibilli]

I threw a controller once into a pile of pillows, I dont want anything to happen with it, its pretty expensive. My friend almost destroyed my TV with a Wii remote though. It was centimeters away from hitting my TV. He didnt do it on purpose, alchohol was involved too

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

No, but I almost did.
I was playing Dead Rising, and after dying from a bullshit stun-lock attack for the ninth time in the row I was so frustrated I raised my arm up, and had to pause.

I thought, here I am, never letting a game get under my skin before, and about to chuck my (not cheap) controller at my friend's (also not cheap) TV.

That's when I decided I couldn't play that game anymore.

Tiger Woods PGA '08 really hits my berserk button, especially when someone else makes an un-aided eagle.

While trying to defeat Spinal, I kept getting killed by his cheap teleportation move, I cracked it and made the conscious decision to destroy the N64s controller. I felt MUCH better afterwards. I throw my 360 controller all the time, but usually at the couch. Those things aren't cheap!

 

[The Floating Nose]

Yes, many many many many many many times ! Almost every game that i played when i was a kid.

 

[Retal19]

Uh, all the above really. I can control my controllers... usually, but it doesn't stop me from effing up and tossing things across the room, either by accident, or through frustration.

 

[nad302]

No because i don't like motion gaming and never get that angry or frustrated, its pointless and you make stupid decisions and end up with a broken controller

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

I tend to throw them at the back of the couch or a pillow, then I pick up the nearest object that I could give a shit about and throw it

 

[Adzma]

You didn't say whether or not you have...

I however have thrown several controllers in my time. It only happens though when whatever I'm doing basically induces blind rage. Controllers are expensive after all.

 

[AgDr_ODST]

Not at all, not a controller anyway...I've stomped my feet in frustration(and messed up a disc) and tossed(and broke) my headset in anger before though

I threw an Xbox controller out the window into the pool after I learned that I couldn't get all the bobble heads in fallout 3 because I didn't grab the one in raven rock before it blew up...

 

[JdaS]

I answered "I dropped one", but it's more like "I dropped several Dualshock 1-3. Several times". Some times because of clumsy shenanigans, others because of sheer ham-handedness.

 

[Metzeten]

I have been known to Almost throw my controllers, though at the moment my controller is also my laptop so I tend to not even think about it at the moment.

If something pisses me off so much I feel the need to hurl it around the room, I should probably roll a ciggarette before I do anything any real harm!

 

[ChaoticKraus]

I punched my mouse so it skidded across my desk a couple of times. And i've threwn my PS3 controller onto the bed once or twice, i don't want to smash it though. Feels kind of fragile.

 

[pyrokleptic]

I decided to throw my controller once... Worst mistake ever. It hit the couch bounced back and hit me in the face. I haven't thrown another controller since then.

 

[TehCookie]

I've never thrown a controller, and if I get really angry at a game I hit myself with the controller. I'm soft and the pain tells me not to do that again.

 

[Robert2812]

I threw my controller once.

I dont think ill play Army of Two again.

 

[Snipes13]

Haha I think everyone has thrown a controller at least once

 

[x0ny]

Mmmm, not really thrown, more like slapped really hard against my thigh (hurts myself too), mice on the other hand, smacked on the mousepad. I really do worry myself sometimes that I will break my mouse, so that's why I bought spare mice, MX815's are my favourite.
