To tell you the truth, I've never actually gotten so angry as to break any of my controllers. But after watching this, I just wanna go out and smash something.

I thought this thread was going to be about really awesome game controllers.

I've broken two and a half gamecube controllers over Soul Calibur, and one gamecube. Mario Strikers Charged also gave me cause to gnaw on my Wii remote, so the end of it is loose and riddled with battle scars.

I'm really only an angry person when video games are involved.

My brother used to whack the megadrive controller against a wall whenever I beat him in a game with a vs. mode

I've never forcefully broken my game controllers, but both of my Xbox controllers have messed-up joysticks from being dropped a few times.

N64s are built like fucking tanks. I've seen a few people smash them, and no one has a particulary easy time doing it. Wiis, on the other hand, bust open as if they were expressly designed to.

When I used to play a lot of Battlefield 2 my keyboard's enter key got destroyed from opening the spawn menu. Whenever I got into a prolonged spawn-death cycle I found it cathartic to mash the enter key as hard as possible when I died. Also shouting "FUCK!" helped.

The original, non-Dual Shock PlayStation controller was a beast, too. Honorable mention to the NES controllers, which I personally abused much more than anything since. Controllers were tougher in my day.

My friend's dog gnawed the recharging cable for my xbox 360 controllers in half. Admittedly, neither the dog or I were playing at the time.

Sorry, pacman, I think I confused you. I was talking about the consoles themselves and not their controllers, which I'm aware was slightly off-topic. Oh well.

In terms of their controllers, the inverse is actually true. An N64 controller could snap fairly easily thanks to the long hand-grips providing a decent amount of torque. Meanwhile wii remotes can fly clear through any number of TVs and sheetrock walls and leave with maybe a scratched-up front end. If wiimotes had existed in the eleventh century, they would have made castles out of them.

I see... never owned an N64 personally so I sadly I was never able to abuse one properly. Or sexually.

'Built Nintendo tough' should be a slogan.

My friend took a monster maul to his playstation when it wouldn't play a DVD.
It was also the time my other friend was introducing his fiancee to my psychokiller friend. GREAT first impression!!!

Oh, I also decomissioned my first Playstation with a machete and a baseball bat after the motor in the disc drive died. I threw it off the roof of my house first, too.
