PS2 controller #1 - I was playing the Choboco racing minigame in Final Fantasy X, trying to get whatever item it was that got you Tidus's (I think) best weapon.

Ah, the Chocobo race for the Sun Sigil. I honestly have no idea how the DualShock 2 I was using managed to survive that minigame. Actually, that particular controller is somehow still in working order, it seems to be sturdier than most because I have attempted to murder it numerous times over the years and it's still in pretty good condition.

I also may have been the only person to actually have that stupid Gameboy accessory in this part of the world.

Nope...I still have mine:

Hey, me too! Mine is blue, though.

I've never actually broken a controller. I did break a game, though (Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. on the PSone), and there are teeth marks in my DS from when I got seriously angry at Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

I have broken probably two Gamecube controllers while playing (should I say losing) Smash Brothers Melee.

And maybe another two while playing the same game but just due to straight wear (that game kills controllers).

I have never wanted to murder any game character ever as badly as I wanted to murder that ^%@#^% Chocobo Trainer.

I bite my hand. It costs less, and helps me calm down. Sometimes I'm not even angry and will do it for the hell of it cause I'm weird.

I haven't technically broken a controller via anger, but I have broken several piece of shit Mad Catz controllers just by looking at them. Damn, I hate that company.

Sometimes just thinking about them will cause them to go up in smoke.

I'm the only one who's never even thrown a controller here, let alone break one. Probably 'cause I care for 'em too much.

I've had the Wii for more than a year now and still only have one Wiimote.

I have shaken my hand in anger as though I would throw a remote, but have never actually thrown one.

More like you guys just aren't passionate enough.

I had one... God those things sucked. Unless you took it outside to use the magnifying glass to burn leaves and crap, that was pretty fun.

I've never broken a controller, but I've taken a chunk out of my wall with a Guitar Hero guitar playing GH3. Too much scotch + not being able to beat Slash on expert = sudden violent outburst.

Third, i've never broke one of my controllers by extreme anger or throwing them against a wall. I get angry with my games some times but i know the retro shit i play is hard to find now (or at least requires buying the crap off the internet which i don't have the money to do).

or too sedated (read: drunk) to get that angry at losing at some game.

MadCatz Microcon controller I got at a thrift store - Left analog stick got fucked up just because I looked at it

2 Master System controllers - One broke trying to hack it and the other busted its D-pad from extended use.

Genesis 3 button controller and a Genesis arcade stick were subject to a sacrifice to create a link cable for Zero Tolerance.

When I was little I used to chew on controller cords a lot and expose the shielding, but never broke any that way.

Clearly physical abuse out of anger is not your forte. You will make a great husband, unlike the rest of us. Crying

My PS2 controller. After my brother impossibly 1 shot killed me in Medal of Honor I threw it at the wall.

I've been working on re-editing that (unless, by some miracle, you downloaded it when I originally put it up and still have it). But yeah. That totally works in this situation.
