When was the last time you threw your controller down?. It could be either a normal controller or something related to Rock Band/Guitar Hero, such as kicking over the drums or throwing the Mic or Guitar across the room.

It's been awhile. A couple of years, actually. I've not played a frustrating game, lately.

When I was playing Panic Attack on expert drums, I was at the very end of the song, and so far I had it FC'd, and I missed ONE note.
I got so mad that I threw my drums lol

I hated my rb1 drum kit so much that when I got an rb2 kit I destroyed it keith moon style. It was very satisfying.

I haven't thrown a controller while playing since the 2nd grade.

You know you love a game when you throw the controler at the TV...

I'd have to say my last time was about a year ago when I was playing Killzone with a friend and he kept killing me..

I can't remember when exactly, but I know for sure it was Soul Caliber 2. I almost smashed my keyboard today playing WoW though.

It's your fault for being in the designated zone.

Uncharted 2, when that ****ing helicopter on the first half of the train mission kept trolling me.

I got pissed at Fuel a couple of months ago. I was winning a race the whole way easily, with the finish line in sight, a f***in' car thrown from a tornado comes and hits me off the mountain and I end up coming in last. This was after the game cheated me for 3 wins, I no longer play Fuel anymore.

Never. I don't get that frustrated by video games.

A few months ago I got pretty ticked at my pedal(rb2 drum set) so I picked a song(megasus) and slammed the crap out of it, by the end of the song I had the thing in 3 pieces!

I haven't thrown a controller in frustration since I was about 8 or 9... and it was the original NES controller.

I play on the easy difficulties because I can't take failure. It kills me inside. :D

I've never thrown my controller, but I have bitten my old gamecube controller.

I haven't thrown a controller since Dynasty Warriors 5 came out on the PS2, and my girlfriend got mad so I don't do silly things like that anymore.

I don't throw, I toss it towards my couch and then turn the game off. Happens quite a bit with my drum sticks.

How do you get frustrated with Dyansty warriors?

EDIT: Wait, I bet it involves Lu Bu.

You got it, and that extreme mode where you die in like three hits

Don't know why I got so angry at a PS2 game. There wasn't even an achievement involved :p

While I remember raging a few times after some Street Fighter 4, the last time I launched a controller would probably be from Ridge Racer 6. The blatant cheating of the AI racers made getting through the last set of stages very difficult.

One time I lost with under a tenth of a second, and I threw the controller through my wall. I was not a happy camper, but hundreds of attempts later, I finally got it. (and the wife eventually patched the wall :p)

I used to throw my controllers, but I've stopped doing it... after that hard as hell game known as SKATE. Christ, that was hard. I broke my controller, and it taught me a lesson.

I did throw my controller down once after getting killed like 1,000 times by Lazarevic in Uncharted 2 : Among Thieves.

I hate that guy... jerk.

Over 10 years ago. Probably in the N64 days when I had about 5 extra controllers.

Those things are freaking expensive.

i stopped throwing my things around when i became the one that had to replace them.

I haven't thrown a video game controller since i was a kid. I've bought every video game system i've ever owned with my own money, and i'm not really big on destroying my own things. Especially since current video game controller cost between $60 - $70.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 PC. I've played far more matches then I've gotten kills.

Back in the day of PS2 and Gamecube was when i threw a controller i used to throw those things hard....it was so lucky they were robust! But now i dont play games that much and so i laugh at most of my failures lol. Last time a game made me angry i failed on the intro to "Hot for teacher" on expert drums even though i played it the day before....and a few other times. I threw my sticks at my wall.

I got close to it while playing The Conduit today. Damn respawning points, headshots and being stuck with a pistol from the last checkpoint. -_-

this probably won't change anytime soon if you're using anything other than a keyboard/mouse combo.

last time I can remember throwing the controller in anger was replaying DKC2 in the secret level "Animal Antics" mainly at the part when your Squaks in the GOD DAMN F*CKING THORN MAZE that was quite frustrating

I've come close since I started Little Big Planet, but nothing too violent yet

Probably playing GTA: Vice City Stories. The PSP makes that game so damn frustrating...

I was playing won't get fooled again on drums, doing the best I had done in a while, and the crowd meter started to drop before the organ solo. It was in the red before starting the drum solo, and I failed out on the drum solo.

I threw my drumsticks down, and I was like "dangit"

I swung my guitar into the ground after failing Sleepwalker during the really easy part - the descending riff. The next song I attempted was Constant Motion and then I 5*'d on sightread.

A few weeks ago, I was trying to get a regular gamerscore again by getting the 13g "Vorticough" in Half-Life 2 to balance out the 2g "Two points" achevement I got 2 years ago. However, that involved playing through my least favorite level in the game, "Water Hazard", with that awful helicopter shooting at you for half the level. I think it was the third time I got shot 15 seconds after I spawned that I threw it on my bed and just walked away.

Actually, I remember having just ONE MORE beat to do to get the last beat achievement for RB2's drums. But, I couldn't do it, so I ended up banging on the red pad so hard that I cracked the plastic in between the red and yellow pad.

Then afterwords the pedal broke.

I didn't really throw it, but I put the controller down, and took a massive dump after seeing the final boss for Dead Space.

There was no way I was going to fight that thing before taking the brick out of my pants.
