Video Games Ever break a controller out of frustration?

MMXcalibur · 05-25-2010, 01:35 PM

Shamefully, I still like to bust open a PS3 controller when playing Madden/NHL...although I've certainly gotten better as of late in terms of just tossing a soft rubber ball around. Damn those controllers for being so lightweight and cordless!!!

...honestly though, my wife thinks I've gone insane...but playing Madden or NHL is the only time I really vent any frustration. Any other time, I'm cool as a cucumber.

I broke a PS1 controller when i was a teen playing Need For Speed. Proud moment...

Sadly yes. I am the same way with the frustration venting. I don't get too pissed at people IRL. With the important stuff I am pretty level headed.

When I was a kid my mom threw a remote at my head, because I was watching Beavis & Butthead, and she wanted to see the Barbra Walters interview with Princess Diana

Dear Mr Smith...The Remote Control crashing in this story is a good representation of forshadow

I went through SNES controllers like they were klennex. Mostly playing Madden. 3 1/2 quarters of kicking ass up by 28+ points then a fumble, my players on D couldn't tackle, interceptions and so on. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! SLAM!!!!!

This stuff only happened when playing the against the SNES.

I actually put a hole in the wall from throwing a controller. To be fair the wall was just that fake wood paneling prevalent in the mobile homes built in the early 70's.

I broke so many controllers over my time....

2 NES Controllers
1 SNES Controller
3 Sega Controllers
a Game Gear & Gameboy(threw them against the floor)
1 Dreamcast Controller
4 PS1 Controllers
3+ N64 Controllers
3 PS2 Controllers

might forgot some but yeah i really get into gaming and when I do i get super ****ing pissed when something dont go my way

KCChiefsMan · 05-25-2010, 02:41 PM

yup I used to break old PS1 and PS2 controllers on a regular basis during some intense 1v1 madden moments. But I haven't since controllers started costing $50

**notorious** · 05-25-2010, 08:09 PM

Tecmo SuperBowl caused me to break a few when I was a kid.

Now I just don't care anymore.

Fortunately NES controllers seemed almost indestructible. The old school style of playing a game for hours then lose was some frustrating shit. ****ing medusa heads.

I think I might have broken a computer joystick or two during the 90's.

**TinyEvel** · 05-25-2010, 08:51 PM

Unfortunately, yes.
I have THREE Sixaxis controllers in pieces each in separate ziploc bags (Modern Warfare) and one Rock Band guitar broken.
Once the dualshock 3 came out, at $54 I take out my hate on the pillows.

**QuikSsurfer** · 05-25-2010, 08:54 PM

I've broken a shit ton of N64 controllers... Thanks NFL Blitz.

kcxiv · 05-25-2010, 08:55 PM

about 5 Nintendo controllers, but i realized at a young age, all you do is have to buy another one and your out cash. lol. I just throw something ic ant break on the floor or something.

Street Fighter makes me rage big time at times. haha

**KcMizzou** · 05-25-2010, 09:13 PM

Nah, I did bust a TV remote in celebration once though.

I think it was a Vanover punt return for a TD in OT. I spiked the remote.

(There may have been beer involved.)
