    I don't do that, but I know a masochist who does.

    I've called myself an idiot for BUYING some games but as for playing my loss is projected on the game or console.. It could never be my fault enough for anything more then throwing a controller.

    One time I took my NES of the shelf and stomped on it. It still worked, strangely enough, and I use it to this day. But usually I just hit myself in the balls with a steel pipe.

    All the time. I usually curse, then hit myself in the leg or what not for poor performance. I thought I was the only one

    I once banged my head repeatedly on the floor (a la the Ninja from Metal Gear Solid) after being driven to sanity's edge over Breakdown. That's usually about as extreme as it gets, though most of my failures just result in an exhaustion of hot air through my oral cavity in the form of profane vocabulary.

    Though, one time, I flipped over the coffee table and kicked out a board on its bottom. Very rarely do other things suffer from my rage.

    I used to spike controllers a long time ago, but not anymore. I just turn off the game now.

    I actually bit my GBA SP when I was stuck in Mario vs. DK. Learned my lesson. Never did that again. There's a slightly noticable dent in it from one of my teeth.

    Yep. I used to all the time. broken many a controller and system that way. I don;t do this anymore though.

    Story time:

    For those of you that are fans of Tecmo Super Bowl for NES, you know how cheap the comp. can get. Once you go long enough undefeated or they are held scoreless,crazy things are bound to happen. The crazy fumbles, cheap tackles, amazing intereceptions, picking of the same plays, amazing runs, etc. Well, I fell victim to one of the biggest comp. comebacks in TSB history.

    The comp. basically came back from almost 60 points down to win a game. Just crazy stuff. Everytime I got the ball, I would give it right back. The comp. would score on every play it would seem. I was so pissed I kicked the living hell out of my NES. It disconnected itself from it's cords and flew across the room. It hit the wall with a crack and the ground with a thud. I took the game out of the NES and chucked it.

    Erased my season, broke the door off my toaster style NES. I never felt better.

    I don't do that kind of stuff anymore.
