Have you ever thrown a controller?
 
I threw a couple. Recently my Xbox 360 controller while playing Madden and I fucked up the LB button.

With No Mercy, I'm amazed my N64 controllers still work.

Crippla 12-10-2006 09:15 AM

Yeah, I have out of anger but I voted Loose Cannon.

Rage issues mostly.

toxic rooster 12-10-2006 01:07 PM

yeah anger

what are you?

CSL 12-10-2006 01:44 PM

<font color=white>I still have a little bag somewhere with a PS2 controller in about 100 pieces 'cause of the flight school on San Andreas. I just destroyed it for like 5 minutes straight. And then I felt better.

I also threw my old PS2 'cause I was playing Pro Evo and as Roberto Carlos, some 70 odd speed jobber anihalated me for pace. I was already in a real bad mood, trying to calm down by playing the game. That didn't work.

But yeah, I tend to get wound up sometimes with computer games...

I hit my old laptop plenty of times 'cause of Football Manager as well.</font>

Avenger 12-10-2006 01:46 PM

don't start me with FM, CSL

RoXer 12-10-2006 01:48 PM

I throw it on my bed so it bounces back up.

toxic rooster 12-10-2006 01:59 PM

Yeah I generally try and hit the couch with mine.

PES4 on 6-star, away to Juventus. Very bad memories :'(

The Mask 12-10-2006 02:12 PM

nah. my brother always did though and i had to give him a kicking more than once to stop him from breaking everything.

The Genius 12-10-2006 02:52 PM

madden 05 is the only game that made me break a controller.

Fignuts 12-10-2006 03:19 PM

Nintendo and ps2 controllers yeah. Would NEVER throw my 360 controller though.

Silent 12-10-2006 03:47 PM

Well no controllers but I threw Super Smash Brothers for N64. Something was wrong with my game and after I worked my butt off to get Luigi unlocked, it corrupted itself, so I took it out and threw it against a wall. Didn't break though.

Shaved Monkey 12-10-2006 03:50 PM

Yeah, I threw it after getting frustrated playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.

One of the areas near the end really, really pissed me off after like the 25th try.

Shockingly it survived, but I had to replaster part of my wall.

My brother ripped a controller in half once

Kalyx triaD 12-10-2006 07:20 PM

Never tossed controllers; controllers that go from $25 to $50 shouldn't be considered for in-house flight. Some of you guys need anger management. Besides; breaking a controller does nothing to the AI that angered you.

Break the the game with a cheat code and call it even.

Bad Company 12-10-2006 07:29 PM

I've had a 360 controller fall off the bed and break the R1 Button. Fucken stupid microsoft made them switch buttons, not squish buttons. Morons.

El Fangel 12-10-2006 07:30 PM

When games freeze, when you beat bosses then power outages, or when someone cheats to beat you in a game.

D Mac 12-10-2006 07:54 PM

Threw my TV remote at my tv after the Chiefs loss. :mad:

G 12-10-2006 08:15 PM

LoDownM 12-10-2006 09:00 PM

I've thrown mine. But that's about it.

My friend tho, lol, I was kicking his ass in Perfect Dark, and he must of slammed his controller on the floor like 50 times in that 10 minute game. I was untouchable that game :cool:

McLegend 12-10-2006 09:57 PM

I throw mine all the time.

Once I threw my controller at my door which is like half way across my room from where I usually sit and surprisly it didn't break. A few mintues later though I threw it at my friend and he put his hand up to block it and in doing that he broke the rumble pack part of the PS2 controller.

Kapoutman 12-10-2006 10:37 PM

I only dropped mine out of pure goofiness a couple of times. I wouldn't throw a controller though, because I'm a cheap bastard and don't want to pay for a new one.

Destor 12-10-2006 11:59 PM

I have. Several times. But that was back in the SNES and SEGA days. Maybe once or twice on the 64 but nothing since. Wisend up once I started buying them.

RBM 12-11-2006 12:33 AM

Nah. Most of my rage came from computer games.

I got lag killed in Diablo II and the game in general was virtually unplayable for long bouts of time. Although it would go in and out so you think you might be able to play but no, you can't. I punched my deck as hard as I could and it somehow messed something up in my monitor and it wouldn't show picture anymore.

More recently, World of Warcraft. I have a big hole in my wall next to my computer over this game. I also threw my nearly empty jug of iced tea on the ground and it bounced up and sprayed the few drops left all over my roommates computer and desk.

Disturbed316 12-11-2006 08:35 AM

Yeah, especially with No Mercy like people have said, but it was mainly to the floor rather than a shot across the room.

El Fangel 12-11-2006 10:14 AM

Snes controllers are so resilient its not funny, to break them takes alot, I had one with a torn cord, and for fun I tried smashing it, it took 10-15 hard hits on a concrete floor to break it in half.

FourFifty 12-11-2006 12:17 PM

Playing Chrono Trigger unlocks my inner rage. It's the only game that I've yelled at, and the only game where I've thrown the controller. I wasn't playing the game, mind you. The game was playing me.

Extreme Angle 12-11-2006 12:36 PM

I usually drop mine and as I drop it I usualy try to catch it... which ends up in me slamming the controller into the wall.
When I am angry I just punch my bed, that way it's stress relief and my hand doesn't hurt :love:

Meh, its good for a quick fix, and if it breaks, I'll just buy a new one.

No big deal.

Boomer 12-11-2006 12:46 PM

If I would ever throw it, which I probably wouldn't, I would throw it against the couch.
