How often do you yell at the tv or throw the controller while playing?

I threw a controller today for the first time in several years. A forceful, underhanded chuck -- like the motion you'd make if you were skipping rocks across a pond -- sending the controller careening across the floor, crashing into other junk and ultimately the wall.

It made me feel better. Who's laughing now, you stupid video game? I just threw your jerkass controller across the floor!
 
never threw a controller until now.
yelling at the tv... often. but it's the cheaper method, so it's fine ^^
 
I can't remember the last time I threw a controller. Controllers now are so heavy they can really do some damage (compared to say NES controllers).

Upside is they're wireless nowadays so they can really fly. I should get back into controller hurling.
 
I worry too much about breaking my controller. I always start to throw it, and in the 2-3 seconds that I'm looking for a good, soft place to chunk it towards, I end up calming down. But I yell at the TV all the time.
 
Not usually anymore, but I used to a lot. When I was a kid, the end boss (Scar) of Lion King for Genesis made me so pissed off, I ripped it out of the system, opened the window and threw it out. Joe Montana Football was worse, I threw that at the wall and made a hole and cracked the cart. DOA2 for DC was hurled across two rooms.

Somehow, aside from a couple Xbox controllers (2/3 were cheap third party), I've never broken anything. At times, I'd keep a broken controller by me as a reminder, but it'd never work, and I once smashed the shit out of a PS2 controller and literally ripped it apart thanks to God Hand.

You can't make a post like this and not say what game it was

I do more of a controller drop then a throw.

Ah, yes. I'll drop it on the floor whilst simultaneously turning and walking away. Usually while muttering something like, "whatever" or "alright. fine. that's cool."
 
I don't get that angry with games normally. The most i'll do is a downwards toss onto the couch, with wireless anything else is stupid and dangerous.
 
The only time I really wanted to throw a controller was the PS3's. Knew it wasn't my fault for running into the wall and losing the record time. Spazzing FTL.
 
And then people wonder why their controllers break.


I don't do either, I just punch the closest person.
 
playing mario kart ds when the blue shell you to death in the last lap I just close the shell and turn off the power. CAN'T CHEAT ON ME NOW STUPID COMPUTER.
 
I've taken to just flipping off the whole entertainment center when the CPU-controlled coach screws things up in NCAA 2008.

Overtime... 4th and goal... ball inside the 1... DEEP PLAY ACTION PASS ARE YOU KIDDING ME
 
Never.

and if one of my buddies do it, I kick their asses out of the house until they bring their own controllers.
 
Never.

Everytime something overwhelming comes my way, mocking my gamer way or just plain kicking my ass... I just have a big stupid grin on my face and say out loud "Lolz.... it's time to kick it into overdrive bitch!" or "Now THIS is what I am talking about... THIS is what I LIVE for!" :lol
 
No but my gameplay does get more violent. Like being killed heaps of time in HL2 and then just not being able to take it anymore I go for a violent outbreak and thats the last time I play for the day.
 
I am a more "Toss the controller on the couch and punch a pillow" type.

The only time I broke a controller was fighting the final boss Scorpian in Mortal Kombat: Deception. I sure showed him.
 
I have sworn blue murder at so many games, coming up with all kinds of new swear words in languages I didn't even know that I spoke.
I have wound up a full body throw with a few controllers, really put my shoulder into but, but didn't follow through.
And I've grabbed and twisted,wrenched and tryed to tear apart a ps controller or two over the years. The ps3 controller doesn't like that, I think it'd just pop apart.

So much rage, but thankfully few holes in walls.
Thank you Videogames.

That.... that was the game that made me chuck the controller. It was one of those games that just seemed rigged, although that's probably just my own paranoid delusions. But still, every time they'd block me, I'd go sailing like a 98 pound girl. But I couldn't block them. Ever. They sacked me 8 times. It just got worse, and worse, and worse, and still I dragged the game into double overtime.... and they broke up my game tying pass play into the endzone on 4th down with a desperate dive. And there goes the controller...
 
I yell at the other players around me, or make weird grunting sounds when I'm losing at something

I have never thrown a controller
 
When I was in elementary school I smashed a GameBoy over my forehead, the screen cracked and then went black. Next thing I remember is throwing it out of the school bus window at on coming traffic. That was my brothers GameBoy too. :lol

I don't think i've ever thrown a controller though, can't say I have, though I did destroy my first PS2 because of DREs. I don't get possessed by demons anymore.
 
Hmmm I've never thrown a controller.

But yelling yeah, happened to me a few times.

Super stardust HD brought back some memories in this department <.<


F'IN STUPID ASTEROID WTF

Let me guess, you weren't smart enough to take the game out?
 
I always murmur expletives under my breath while playing RE:4. Occasionally those transform in to yelling "****".

Never thrown a controller, other than the Guitar Hero guitar. Some songs on Expert drove me absolutely insane before I beat them. That thing's took some ****ing punishment, the whammy bars on both my guitars are totally loose.
 
I never throw my controller, but I often yell. I usually shout "****!" or "COME ON!!"

I was doing that earlier today when I missed a birdie by half an inch in Minna no Golf 5. T_T

I first read that as "flipping over the whole entertainment center" :lol

Dropping the controller onto the carpet in exasperation was more my thing back in the day, but nowadays I relish the free time I have to game so no more frustration; especially if I have the time to turn on a console, much less a handheld.
 
I slam the crap out of my mouse when I lose a pvp fight in MMOs sometimes, but never throw my controllers in console games. This is probably due to me not really playing online console games very competitively, with a few exceptions.
 
i throw mine all the time, this sucker just comes right back.

I yell, but I dont throw my controller.

one time I totally dominated one of my friends brother in Fight Night for PS2 so bad that he chucked the controller at the TV, it bounced off and came right back to him. the Controller broke, but I still cant believe how strong that TV was.
 
I did this alot when I was around 8... I would never do it today... Never.... Never...

Edit: Random vulgar sentece has been known to find it's way out.
 
more than being mad at myself or anything, I found myself constantly yelling at bad cameras.

today I played a couple of hours of Mario sunshine... DEAR LORD, is that some ****ed up camera.

.- the Windmill in Bianco hills: want to have the view from behind Mario? sorry, does not compute, deal with it, bastard. We will always move the camera whichever way we want just to piss you off, how about that?

.- Pinna park: when trying to go up behind the ferris wheel, the place is so tight, the camera doesn't fit in the place and you can only watch mario's shadow, and guess how much space you still have. Terrible design.

.- Multiple times anywhere, the camera just won't move because it "hit" a wall. WHAT THE ****, NINTENDO!!!!!?????
