Video Game Dummy Spits; When was the last time you got angry at a particular video game?

I've looked around and hadn't found this topic - so I thought why not.

When was the last time you got frustrated by a video game and had "acted" out from your frustrations? Did you throw a controller or two? Or was it just spouting a few choice swears in the heat of the moment. What particular part of the game were you struggling?
Any constructive comments?

And yes, I currently have a stock lighting ball as an avatar - live with it, I'm lazy.

Skins WIP by VeteranPortal:
Retro Luigi - Luigi sprited as he was in SMB2/SMB3, NES style. Complete as of V0.41, JUST have to upload it now and share with the world.
Retro Link - Link sprited as he was in Zelda II, with powerups coming from as if Zelda II was like SMB3 . Completion - 70%, Normal, Boomerang, Bow and Cloud Link Complete. Classic and Deku Link Largely Complete, Bomb Link on Hold for now, Now it's down to Zero Link or Arbiter Link. Due to plain lack of energy and Dev plans to update Link this skin will be on Indefinate Hiatus. My sincere apologies to everyone anticipating this skin.
??? - TBA of commencement. Currently due to lack of time and motivation. Plus V0.5 is a ways off so I can't even get the sprite layout. Hint: It's from an old Compile Game back in the 80's yes, that's a vague hint.

The most I will do when I get pissed at a game is turn off the console, and walk away before I break something. My DAD on the other hand got so pissed around a year ago when playing NFL, he threw his controller at the wall, which made a hole in the wall, and broke the controller.

I pause the game, yell and swear at the TV screen and plead for an easier way. I'm not kidding.

I'm usually pretty calm when I play games. Usually. But this one time a few years ago I was playing Metroid Fusion on my GBA. There was this annoying speed booster puzzle I had to do to get the last Missile Expansion I needed, and I just couldn't do it after dozens of tries. In my fit of rage, I logically concluded that I should headbutt the screen. Now my GBA has this huge black spot in the middle.

I don't recommend trying this :no:

It is very rare for games to make me angry enough to do something stupid. The Mario Kart series comes very close though...very close.

I had a few choice words to throw out after attempting to play "The World Ends With You" for DS, due to its incredibly-obnoxious controls. I never get so upset to do something like throwing my game system/controller though.

In general, my strongest and most frequent bouts of frustration come from cheating AI in fighting games, that seem to block and attack at the exact same time.

The worst that ever happens when I get thoroughly pissed at a game is me shutting it off in frustration and doing something else for a few hours or the rest of the day. I've never quite reached a point where controller or keyboard flight has been achieved, but it's come close.

Typically, the bouts of rage come from games being cheating bastards or the game randomly deciding to lock up when my last save was a fair bit ago.

La-Mulana has definately 'inspired' this. When I'm doing WELL. My 'reasonable' reactions are usually either streams of profanity, or something akin to "...Wait, what? That did something? HOW THE <profanity> WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!? THAT MAKES NO SENSE EVER AT ALL!?" ...From there, it usually gets less coherent.

Usually when I see something frustrating in a game, I leave it alone and either go back to it or really never finish it. When its a multi-player game, (such as Modern Warfare 2, the Starcraft series, etc.) I just leave it alone and complain to friends who want me play those games at either how much I suck at it (SC wise) or how broken it is (MW2).

Last time I did have that amount of rage I punched the wooden floor where I was sitting at..... Yeah not fun.

THe latest time was fighting that lightbulb miniboss on Megaman 10 on wii. I beat my head against the wall and gave myself a headache. Then came on here to bitch about it. Either that or Oblivion, Fallout 3, or Spore crashing on me after me not saving for an hour or 2.

I don't exactly build up on anger. I mostly just say profanity every time I die, and in the worst case scenario (no death run just got canned on final boss), I yell like hell and go take a break before trying again.

...so yeah.

I have learned that PS2 controllers are built cheaper and flimsier than all the rest. Old, huge Xbox controllers were the sturdiest, followed by SNES, Genesis, and Gamecube. N64 were the bottom of the pile since they would wear out from being used without the throws.

The first days of Mario Kart Wii were a dang frustration spree (Due to the item spam...)

I pause as well, but only if say, I'm playing megaman or something and I jump into a pit and right before I die, I always without fail pause the game like it'll save me or something. I take a second, compute what just happened, and make peace with it.
