t4r. I know I've lost it whilst gaming plenty of times. Specifically in situations where no amount of skill can overcome the present lag/other situation. Just today, I was going for 3 stars on every cup in Mario Kart 8, where any mode above 100cc is notorious for punishing player-controlled characters, under all circumstances. On my 40th (no exaggeration, I legitimately restarted a single cup 39 times) attempt, I got down to the last race and was in a reasonable position, however, any attempt to overtake toad was met with a bump combined with an item sleight of hand (he somehow concealed his items, a feat players simply can't replicate) that resulted in me being forced to a standstill from hitting his unknown weapons on each of the 8 times we clashed during the race.

The last of these occurrences happened right on the finish line, costing me 1st place and meaning I had to repeat the entire cup again. Having spent the last several hours on the single goal of a perfect run of this cup and witnessing the same bland art style nonstop, I gave up, dropped my Gamepad to the ground and drove my heel into it with maximal force, breaking it completely (of course it was already damaged from earlier encounters too). I was pre livid tbh.

hey
I used to get so mad playing Halo 4, I don't even know why, none of the other Halo games made me mad, or at least not nearly as often

Trying to do something 40 times in a row?

That takes determination, I probably would've given up by my 10th attempt

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
I threw my Reach disc across my room on a few occasions and ended up snapping it. My friends convinced me to buy another copy and I caved in and did it.

I also threw my MW2 disc across my room when I was having an amazing game where I was like 35-0. The host left the game and the game couldn't find a compatible host. The game ended and I was so pissed.

I banged my hand on my desk super hard during a stressful and rage-inducing SC2 match once. My hand hurt for the rest of the day after that.

Not once have I ever gotten mad at a game or smashed my controller in frustration. It's just a game after all, I just laugh it off and try at it again.

Rockets on my X
Some of the achievements in Halo 3. I fucking swear to god. Getting a double kill with one spartan laser shot in the lone wolves playlist. Or getting a splatter with the mongoose.

I don't even want to recall how many fucking times I spent trying for those. One morning I put my tryhard tighties on and went for the spartan laser one. With every match where I got the laser and killed one person but grazed another, I steadily grew more platinum mad.

But Reach took the cake though. The only reason I played it as long as I did, was because I had friends to play it with. Once I started playing it alone, the game pissed me off more and more because of how bullshit it was along with its ass of a community.

One day I took the disk out of my drive, opened up a window, and chucked it out like a frisbee. And that was that.

Every time I fight that slimy fuck Micolash in Bloodborne and he one shots me with that BS magic attack. I think the Witches of Hemwick made me throw my controller at the wall when I fought them the first time.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Used to rage at PS1 games when I was young, and after failing to win a demolition derby game I remember carefully ejectung the game, placing it in it's case... and then hammering the shit out of my PS1.

I didn't handle losing very well, particularly when the game mechanics were impossible to beat. Nowadays I just turn off my game and switch to something else with no fuss.

Lagspikes in Chivalry irked me quite often.
But never made me ragequit or someting like that.

Though I do remember that I, as a young kid, once shut down the Playstation mid-game because I was frustrated about losing a game to my mother. Hah...

Plenty of times.
Just normal raging is something I used to do a lot.
I don't rage quit much though.

Once I raged at an RPG, can't remember which, it froze as I was about to complete the game so I whacked the 360 and totalled the disc.

Hmm, I used to get pretty wound up when playing BF4.

It was mostly just venting rather than I'm going to break shit, but on occasion I'd be shoved a little too far past mad, platinum mad and into 'outta my way vietnam fucking shits' territory.

Usually I'd just hammer my hand into my desk until it hurt too much to play so that I wouldn't just go back five minutes later and get even more wound up. Or I'd kick this stupid little air purifier we had in the room which churned out heat like a motherfucker and made the air really quite uncomfortable.

I'd never hit/break/smash anything of value to me though, closest I've come to that is throwing the PS4 mic off and the plastic casing coming off the electronics (I fixed it though) <.<

Nowadays I'm a lot more laid back, it takes an inordinate amount of bullshit to get me riled up beyond a bit of bad language.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Final Fantasy XIII. Fuck every boss in that game, the frustration was real.

No, I stop way before I get really angry.

On a final fantasy I just stop and read a book for a bit. That's about it.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Sometimes I get pissed off when playing total war but thankfully it saves often so I can go back

I've never broken anything from getting mad, but I rage quit so much.

Closest time I've come to breaking something is when my cousin got pissed at guitar hero and hit me with the guitar, and it broke.
