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.

That was funny.

And as for me........... eerrrrr........ just probably got in a mood a few times.

When its the game that does my head in its not so bad but the real pain is my mum.

When im playing on a game she'll be saying "oh, whats that there?" "there, there's one of those things" "no, over that way!"

Clearly i know what im doing and she insists on bugging me and telling me of all the things she can see on the screen which i noticed as i passed them minutes before.

gggrrrrr

I've never really got annoyed with a game just some people i know who play them.

I get so annoyed when someone use the same moves over and over again on fighting games. It requires no skill at all to do that and when you complain at them they start saying things like so or you could do it too but i bet they would do the same if it happened to them.

I used to get so annoyed and try to smash joypad wiv stik. They're pretty durable. For a joke once, I pretended to grab my mate's monitor, but he thought I was serious and had a go at me. It just left me confused.

Screamed, like a girl. Very loudly. Then blamed my sister and told my mum to take her away for killing Mario.

I was eight. It was my way.
