I threw the controller at my PS2 after it initially seemed I’d finally completed a particularly tough challenge on NFS Hot Pursuit 2 only to then somehow get the fail screen. It crashed the game and the fucker never worked right again so it had the last laugh I guess.
I was witness (and partially responsible) for a glorious rage incident over this xmas. I was around at a mates house and he proudly showed off some contraption that had 50 classic games built in. The smack talk started as he loaded up Sensi Soccer and he loudly proclaimed to the assembled crowd what the forthcoming virtual humiliation was going to be like. I maintained a respectful silence befitting a zen master. Now I haven't played sensi in nearly 20 years so I was a little rusty. As I put the ball in from the half way line for my 6th goal you could see the steam coming out of his years. A voice from the crowd piped up that obviously someone had forgotten how much I played this back in the day. I think that was the moment that something broke in my friends head, although my The Wire comment of "when you come at the king, you best not miss" likely didn't help. The joypad flew across the room and smashed against the wall in little pieces. It was a shame as I was quite happy to give him a rematch.
