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've never physically abused a game or a console/PC/whatever, but when I get really hissed off with them I start swearing and turn it off. My thinking behind NOT throwing bits of my console or a game around is that I spent money on it, so I don't want to bloody break it! If I get REALLY frustrated, and lose all will to play that game, I pack it up and sell it off.

ill bet that was on a one on one race, they just push anything out of the way its annoying, i was watching my brother do a one on one against the corvette the other day and it kept spining him out, he was getting so annoyed i was laughing my head off, and now hes not playign on his own console it is my console so he knows what will happen if he throws or breaks a controler :P

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.
