[Amusing] I have a broken controller because...

I've nerdraged once before. Anyone who thinks that there's no excuse has never felt the deep despair of Diddy Kong Racing. You don't know what I went through. You don't know how close I came over so many attempts. The launch pulled the entire system off the stand it was situated on. Fortunately, my N64 was okay but the controller's analog was stuck in an up/left position.

I've definitely grown up since. Now I favor shouting obscenities over physically lashing out. Like a normal person.

In a related story (no violence involved), once my mom got super pissed at me when I accidentally saved over her Phantasy Star 4 game. It wasn't too funny for me at the time, but looking back on it I have to appreciate the complete oddity of a then 45 year old mother of four going apeshit over a Genesis game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
