I once left toothmarks on my brother's PS2 controller because I got frustrated with a game and bit into it.
I also left toothmarks on said brother for getting pissed off at me.

Go kill some nazis/russians/arabs/aliens/zombies. Or go out drinking with mates. The latter is more fun and calming than the former, but more expensive.
Huh....I usually clench my toes and tighten my grip on the controller. If it's my GBA I might hit the screen. Not gonna hit a DS or PSP.
I second "break things."
If it's a game problem, I can be disturbingly patient. I once spent half an hour killing a supermutant with nothing but mines because I could. I seldom let a game error really get me down, and I seldom suffer an annoying player to share my company for long. Better to keep my cool and leave such problems alone.
If it's a coworker, I'm feeling very proud of myself lately: I try to find an effective channel through which the matter can be pursued, make a complaint, and get my station moved.
Unfortunately, this is all adjustment for the fact that my "rages," proper rages, result in a talking to by the local law enforcement wherein I find myself admitting abashedly that I have no memory of the events what took place. So I have to keep my cool, or my personality and self-identity become submerged, rendering me incapable of fully conscious thought for a very creepy duration.
This has never happened as a result of a video game. If a game frustrates me so, I actually put it down and don't go back to it. Perhaps this is why.

I never rage. I'm commended for my "Not quitting LFD Games in Fit Of Rage" abilities. The only times I do rage, it's because siblings make infuriating remarks about said failure.
I'd break my hand if I tried to do that in my house. It's got 50's construction methods behind it, which means it's plaster and I'd hurt myself pretty good.Worgen said:
OT: I usually throw the controller really hard against my bed, as I usually game while seated on it. Or I just shut the system off and read a book.
Pretty much. It's weird cause I always try to find something cheap. If I'm not too pissed pencil will work. Although I did once obliterate a PS2 controller.wwjdftw said:break shit
I hear that. Man I bled a bit after I punched one of my walls. Then I had to clean blood up which is kind of hard.Uberjoe19 said:
The OP didn't say it had to be game induced. Although San Andreas's RC missions were what led to the PS2 controller getting slammed. That thing exploded.Old Trailmix said:
I swear. A lot. I've never rage quit, but I've made my entire team in Killing Floor leave because instead of helping them kill the Patriarch (the boss at the end of each level, for those who don't know)I just swore at them a lot for blocking the entrance to the store. In my defense, I couldn't help, because they wouldn't let me buy ammo for my weapons.
Nothing broken just a little torn hide. It didn't even hurt. At least not until I poured alcohol all over it. Hey can't risk an infection right?Uberjoe19 said:
I swear like a drunken sailor, and I punch things - I remember after playing World at War on Veteran for a while, my sister came in and commented how "I must really hate that game", to which I responded "No, it's fun". I don't really understand myself, either.
I just recently got a scar next to my knuckle after I punched my wall particularly hard - I hadn't even realised it was bleeding until a few minutes later. What's best is that the game in question which caused the scar was LittleBigPlanet.
