If I find a particularly hard game, say Metal Gear Solid (it is hard for me) I will get really annoyed when I can't get past some bit. I find it so annoying sometimes. I lobbed my wwf No Mercy across the room once. It almost fell apart. The only way it stays alive is if it is stuck in my N64 machine which holds it together. And I don't even feel that i am an angry person much.

I am not prone to throwing Playstation games across the room in the case of it snapping as that is what happened to my friend. (He is grumpy) But when I do find something that doesn't work well for me in a game I sometimes bang the controller off the ground or turn off without saving and losing previous data which I had not saved and that makes me even more annoyed. It is a tough life playing challenging games.

My GBA recieves the worst punishment even if it is my newest games system. When I come inches away from winning in Mario Kart or in F-Zero I will hit the screen which probably hurts my hand more but it does make the screen rather vunrable and feel as if it is going to fall off.

My PC (the worst for doing stuff I don't want it to) is all right. I don't mind when it fails to load up a screen or something like that. (well not much anyway) On my PC games not much goes wrong as none of them are really challenging enough for me. Take the Sims, in which even if something goes wrong, it can still be quite funny. Age of Empire is fine. it is kind of hard but when it goes wrong I have my cheats ready to make it all easy again.

Some of you may think that all of this is a bit mad but i will say that lots of people will be just as bad (or worse) than me. Don't think I am a looney though.

Thanks 4 reading, Afro.

The Playstation and SNES pads can take some beatings although ive seen my friend throe his pad which pulled is Playststion off the side and plummeting to the floor (the fool).

It's quite annoying when someone is a bad looser and goes mad when loosing a game especially when your playing against each other, you almost feel bad for winning!
