The Rage Quit / Controller & Screen smashing confession thread - The Bear and Badger

Eric

I smashed so many third party quickshot Megadrive pads playing Super Street Fighter II on the MD. I had a first party pad that I would play with that I would calmly put down before unleashing my rage on the cheaper 3rd party pad.

All versions of PES too, especially after a last minute loss due to some unstoppable CPU skill

It were a few moons ago but FNF Storm Island had me switch off the TV and glare at the wall for ten minutes to calm the rage.

You're welcome.

Don’t make me post that gif.

I once smashed a mouse to bits. I can't remember which game caused it.

Come to think if it, I'm not 100% sure it was a game.

hylian_elf

I regularly smack the mouse at work. Slow computers/network so frustrating.

Moot_Geeza

Lolol.

I had Streetfighter The Movie on Saturn. I cant be sure but I think I was fighting Raul Julia and the game was just fucked, he had cheap, way overpowered moves and I just could not beat him.i spent hours at it.
Eventually I took the disc out and smashed it off the ground. Repeatedly.

I switched my xbox off after failing a raid on destiny for the God knows how many time. Just bam, power off.

Don't think I've broken anything... Not that I remember anyway. I'll usually just slap the sofa seat next to me and use Harsh Language

I once got mildly frustrated playing Taz on the mega drive on a minecart level. Tried to swat a fly that was on the corner of my wardrobe to vent my frustration. Missed the fly and broke three fingers.

Moot_Geeza

Haha. I found a nice gif while refreshing my memory

Lol, yeah this is me every other night since online mulitplayer games took over my gaming time.

Srsly, even the most frustrating of single player games (I'm thinking trying for 2 hours straight to get that extra 0.15 seconds on a Trials Evo track) don't come close to the feelings I get from getting beat online, but only really when I know it was my bad positioning/potato aim or gameplay bugs (Overwatch and Fortnite take a bow) that did me in. If my opponent just played better, well, okay then.

Im both ashamed and poud to have twisted a duke controller in half. I think splinter cell vs mode was the catalyst.

I was playing Celeste this morning and realised I was doing a sort of silent shouting thing when getting really frustrated.

It's a small house.

I'm too leet to get frustrated

Kevin Keegan’s Player Manager. You could immediately reset if you lost a crucial match and play it again, something I must have done five or six times in a row after not getting the three points I needed in my promotion push. By the seventh or eighth successive failure I had just had enough, lost my temper big time and slung the controller against the wall.

Cue one smashed SNES pad and some inappropriate & foul language that shocked and disturbed my Nan, staying with us for a week whilst her leaky ceiling was mended. Damn you Keegan.

I also bashed a friend’s head against his own bedroom radiator after losing a round of Streetfighter 2 to him, leading to me being banned from going over to his house for a while. His virtual K.O. was immediately followed by a very real K.O. as skull met radiator with a sickening thud.

Angry ... angry young man.

I smashed my PS2 up after repeatedly failing to read any disc I owned.

Probably had a bit of dust in it but I was not having a good day.

I once completely broke my bed by bouncing on the side in frustration at my mates incompetency to finish a co-op level in N+ on the 360.

Aaroncupboard

When the first Gears of War came out I borrowed a copy from a mate so I could play co op with my brother. I didnt have gold so we linked our 360’s up with a long cable contraption between our bedrooms. All was well until we came to the minecart moment and my brother proved to be utterly, totally and completely inept. After numerous fails and stupid deaths I stormed into his room to have a massive go at him. Cue foot caught in cable, 360 ripped off the cabinet and smashed to the floor. Luckily the console was fine but it completely buggered my mates gears of war and I had to buy him another one.

Unlikely

I once rage-booted DarthJim from Forza because he drove the wrong way around the track and crashed until me, ruining my race.

afgavinstan

Vague memories of being there. Was it a OG FNF night?

Unlikely

Yar, back in the day.

Kow

I believe you made Jim leave on a number of occasions. The good old days.

Unlikely

He usually left of his own accord though. That night was different.

Were you my friend? He once punched me on the face for beating him at Sensi.

afgavinstan

I burst my brothers nose using the case for a board game one boxing day. Prick shouldn't have cheated tbh.

Skondo

I’m too aware of how much things cost. I have thrown a DualShock 2 and 3 in frustration, but only against the sofa, or the cushions on the sofa. RAGE!

Howdy, Stranger!
