Do you smack/throw controllers?

Oh, I thought you were talking about control freaks.
There's a few of those I'd like to.

I broke my first psp by dropping it too much and my ds lite for the same thing. I don't break controllers but my 12 yo bro throws them at people when he has tantrums :roll: :lol: .

I used to, but I've stopped because nothing good came out of it. I ruined many gamecube controllers, and broke the speaker in my gameboy color.

I don't throw controllers, but it's not uncommon for me to start biting them or hitting my head with them when I get frustrated with a game.

Very common for game players. I never done it.

I think I might've once or twice trying to do one of the castle levels in SMB.

One time my friend threw one of his SNES controllers and broke it, we had a heck of a time fixing it...I've never thrown a controller since then.

Not to mention, games these days just aren't very difficult anymore...though Super Mario Sunshine really tempts me :x

I've dropped/thrown my Wii controller only to have it spring back on its strap and hit me in the face. Good times.

When I get stuck on one particular part and have been doing it over and over, I sometimes throw the controller down when I lose yet again. I've never broken one that way though. Also, if I'm getting impatient for some reason (like during a loading screen or something) I'll tap the side of the controller, like a stim.

No controller has died by my hand since I threw a large, heavy Amiga 500 joystick through my bedroom window some time in the early 1990s.

Any you people even old enough to remember the Amiga 500? 8)

I'm old enough, but not European enough :wink:

Though one of my friends had a C64, I think he only let us play it one time.

OMG yes I do that when the game does something stupid.

I game on a computer. I've broken keyboards and mice several times.

Herein lies the problem.

My current gaming machine is a laptop! OMG! I've already smacked it a few times. There is no damage... yet.
