"GAMING RAGE!"

I thought it would be fun if people posted the moment where they really lossed their temper while playing a game and what they did.

It could be one boss you can't do, a multiplayer where your mate allways killd you etc.

I'll start.

Way back when Tomb Raider 2 was new, I died, and i didn't have any ammo left, so I was really annoyed when I kept restarting a few steps away from the boss. I tried endless times to kill the boss but I just couldn't do it. On my 120th (about that) attemp to kill the boss, i failed, and this time i had it! I through my controller on the floor (cracking it) then punched the wall causing damage to my knuckles.

So come on, dont be shy, tell everyone the moment you lost your temper and what you did!

Thanks for reading.

Mario Tennis is the most annoying when you lose.

I once killed Mario 120 times cause Peach kissed him so much.

Bwrahahaha, I hope you like HOT lava Mario...Bwrahahahaha

All those games that have been hell ti play and took me into a rage unconditional to man.....The streetfighter series was always hell on the hardest setting,they always seem to get a lucky punch in.

Trying to get the goldeneye cheats was really annoying on the N64.the guards always seem to get in the way.

Some of the Jest Set Radio levels were very annoying,getting to a point where that bloke kept following you until you just gave up.

Final Fantasy games were always tearing me to shreads because if you got to a point where you had a certain level up,and you cpuldnt turn back to increase it and then you had to fight a boss and it was impossible to beat without that level,i was in a pool in the floor.

We all love games here buit we all get to a point where they become our worst enemies.

The only game I remember getting rage over was when I was no more than 5 years old, the game was Gauntlet 2 on the NES and it was one of those addictive games which you would sit and play for hours. I think it had about 160 levels in it and I took a weekend out (I had a busy schedule back then) to play the game.

Seven hours into it I was on level 147, I was the 'Red Wizard' I had all the extra powers and potions, and I knew that this time I was going to complete it, there I was at the end of 147 and the screen went black, I remember sitting there staring at the screen, the rage building up inside me is to be never repeated again, as for at that moment I threw the sharp cornered NES controller at the 28'' TV screen and it dented on the side plastic, I remember looking at the control and seeing that no damage had been caused to it, that was not my plan, I still had rage and anger so I picked it up and threw it in the opposite direction, it managed to carry the NES unit of the surface and onto the floor, the result of this was a broken NES.

I have never put that game in any of my other Nes machines and I never want to play it again, it goes on my very short list on uncompleted games.

I remember that all this was because of a power cut.
Also this story is annoying as it happened to my personal (not work) PS2.
Here is what I posted last November:

I had just collected my PS2 from Game in Wimbledon. Brilliant I had a PS2 and was addicted to playing SSX for 7 hours.

I let me little sister have a go as she also adours Gaming. I left the room (snack) and within the next few minutes there was no longer a sound coming from the lounge where she was playing it. I thought 'oh' she must have got bored, now I can play again.

How wrong was I! The horizontal stand had collapsed and the PS2 had fallen about 5 ft. There it was a 7 hour old machine which had received a jump which now has major problems on running anything.

The Reason: My little sister (the new devil) had gone to pick up the phone in the lounge (on the other side of the room) she carried the PS2 controller across with her forgetting that there was a PS2 attached to the end! It fell and was heavily dented, and she ran. I will never let her play my PS2 (when it works) again!


Don't you just love Gaming!
Thanks
er-no

P.S The ending of CBFD is the best of any game ever!

Trying to eat them?! LOL!

I get really mad with games...I have quite a natural good temper and I have a very good sense of humor, but when it comes to games like Mario Golf and trying to defeat Bowser in get charachter I just flipped, the controller flew at the wall I kicked the TV (I now have a new one) and threw the nearest thing to me at my brother which happened to be a pair of socks the my mum asked me to put in my draw about 4 hours prior to the incident.

Games do annoy me qute a bit but because I get so worked up when I can't do something it is all the more rewarding when I do it. Most of the time I complete a section without caring, being more laid back and in the end after so much annoyance with not completing the section I just do a casual go and viola! MISSION COMPLETE.

One game I can't stand to lose at it er...Mario Tennis, I am good at mario games mind, Mario Tennis, Golf Party and the 64 Platformers, Its all good...

But anyhoo there you go, a busted controller and broken TV and a slightly offended little brother.

My brother used to get really anoyed (short temper) when I beat him on Streetfighter2, now he gets annoyed when I beat him on ISS Pro. Thankfully now hes stopped chucking the joypads around and trying to eat them in frustration.

Both.............think about

Did you get my e-mail?

Was that before you turned the Amiga on or after?

I'm usually okay, but once I was playing something on a AMIGA (can't remember game) and I completl destoyed by accidently throwing it to the ground!
