Gaming rage!!

You know the feeling we've all had it. When you've been pulverised by an end of level boss for the umpteenth time, when you can't find that elusive key which opens the door to the only possible place left to go, when you concede an undeserved last minute equaliser, when you skid off at the last corner of an otherwise flawless race.....I could go on all night, but how does everyone cope??

Joypads are far too expensive these days to send them hurtling through the air till they smash off the wall with a satisfying crunch so whats the alternative.

Personally I find its best to just turn off the console and take a lie down in a darkened room with some ambient sounds playing in the background.

What does everyone else do??

Turn the console off, and sulk for a while

Then switch it back on and try again........this can go on and on until I finally give up

pause, have 5 bottles of beer then return to the game, works every time lol

I went through a fair few greystation pads when I was younger (About 17). They'd end up smashed against my bedroom wall, and my language was appalling

Now I'm far more laid back, and I just call the game a c*nt, a f*ck-bag or some other violent swear word. GoW has caused me the most angst. That f*cking Berserker is tw*t, and that knob-cheese Dom is always getting killed by it!

I'm getting wound up just thinking about it!

i get angry, swear alot and keep trying.. when will i learn

i think i may have smashed a few sega master system controllers in my time.

i swear i was gonna say the same thing lol although 5 bottles would be a lil detrimental to the task no? i'd say 2. lol i mean my hand eye coordination is awful on the best of days so wiv beer in the mix, i'm jus askin 4 trouble!

im usally ok but god dam skate 2 gets my blood boiling lmfao
some of the tasks on there are just made to send you bonkers!!!!!!!!!

Need for speed pro street had me going last night the high speed races are impossible to win as you end up totaling your car eventually because your going to bloody fast, as anyone playing grid last night will know lol

the last time i got the gaming rage i put my foot through one of the walls in my house (it was a weak wall)

I busted up my Les Paul controller whilst trying to 5 star Raining Blood on expert (GH3). Stupid bloddy thing keeps doing periodic double strums... and always in the triple chord section when I need to be at my best... so - a feww swift punches to the strum bar, and a new guitar the following day... lol (it was on its last legs anyways)
