I myself dont get annoyed with games, only with people. Well there was only one time i ever got annoyed with a game! it was on Sonic 2 for the Sega Megadrive, i was playing for hours and pretty much completed the game, then on one of the levels i kept dying in the most stupid place until i lost all my lives! i got sooo annoyed that i threw the controller across the room and with no break away cords teh Mega Drive came flying off my unit and broke open on the floor. After that incident i vowed never to get annoyed with a game again.

This is taking it to the extreme but true, I once read that a group of people were having a "friendly" game of counter-strike on a LAN, the person invloved kept dying and couldnt hit a thing, he was also being killed by the same person nearly every round, he eventually got so annoyed that he stood up and knifed the other person who was beating him.

Please post about your gaming tantrums in here, i would love to read some of the stories, and hopefully none of them are as bad as the counter-strike incident.

I was playing the oh so crappy game of MK Mythologies on N64. I walked into a pillar and it crushed me! I placed my fist into the television and had an everlasting scar. And when I try to type with my right hand like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooww dammit!
It hurts.

I'm an idiot.............................................And no change.

P.S. If you were allowed more than 60 characters in one word, my screams of pain would fill the whole page.

I forget which game it was, but i got really annoyed with it, smashed the joystick repeatedly on the ground until it came to pieces, then sat on my bed, bobbing back and forth biting down hard on my fingers for about 10 minutes.

I was young, foolish and lacked self control.

now i'm old, foolish, and lack self control. Everything changes, everything stays the same :/

When I was falling to my doom in TR2 I saved it instead of loading a previous game and had to start all over again.
This lead to the controller being throen and my PSX being taken with it - landed stright on my memory card so I couldn't save or load anything.

Oh, the irony.
