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

I must have broken hundreds of pounds worth of stuff over the years.


One of the first instances I remember was intentionally creating a deep scratch on my Virtua Fighter disc because of that Pai slapper and her punch punch punch sweeps.

I've broken two game boy advances over mario kart. Like Chaotic said, getting hit by red shells over and over just makes you crack.

I punched my bobble bobble/rainbow islands collection disc to death after dying over and over to the vampire boss on level three.

I managed to actually crush a microsoft sidewinder pad in my hands by compressing it sideways. That was subspace/continuum, the online game.

There's probably more I can't remember.

I've punched holes in walls and doors and stuff too. Normally I don't have a temper, it's only games that manage to do this to me. It's hereditary. I'm actually afraid of beating my brother at games because he gets so wound up. The last time we were playing on the LAN he had in his loft, I was giving him a hammering on Quake 2 and from behind me I suddenly heard the sound of a printer getting the shit kicked out of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I haven't broken anything for ages. It could be because a) I've calmed down; or b) I'm avoiding the annoying games.

Actually no. I've been playing Castlevania PSP and it really pissed me off on occasion. I've had to stop myself headbutting the screen. So the answers probably more like c) I'm only too aware that money isn't as plentiful nowadays.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Really it is a kaleidoscope of emotions including anger, disappointment, quiescence, and yes embarrassment - but never embarrassment more than the others.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
