Ummm...

I remember getting my ass wupped by Mokujin in Tekken 3 so bad, I took the CD out the ps-x & snapped it in half.

[Dark Nemesis]

I was playing FF VIII and i have lost several times to omega weapon and i've got so angry that i smashed the game pad to the ground.

This was a while ago...i was playing Alien Trilogy (i think) on the PSX and i was getting annoyed that the game would not auto save.( i was used to that) so i saw this option to format my memory card. i thought this would enable the auto-save....well of course i was wrong....i deleted my memory card and all that was left was that fucking game. i cried for a while...i had a MGS VR missions file on there that was 3 first place records away from being 100% complete. I also had various rpgs and other important saves on that card. WHO THE HELL PUTS THAT OPTION IN A GAME!!!!!!!

Getting really pissed off when fighting Metroid Prime and F-Zero Gx's story mode. Then I broke my wavebird.

Hearing all this hype for Final Fantasy VII, then playing it to find out that it sucks just like all other Final Fantasy games.

Ha, I just had sort of a bad one last night. Getting through the last Pacifism challenge on Contra 4 was an absolute bitch. Not fun at all.

Getting through any challenge past the fifteenth was tough

wow that sucks man, yeah if that happened to me, I would have taken the game out put it in my car driven to the middle of the woods, shot the shit out of it stomped it into the ground and lit it on fire with a gallon of gas. That's fucking evil. I feel for ya losing all that data. That's a lot of hard work gone.

I remember back in the day when I first got the 1st zelda for my ol' nes. Oh god this must have been like I think 1988 or so. I got it shortly after I got the nes for my 4th christmas. My dad used the excuse at the time cuz he wanted it too. So my dad and I are taking turns in the game every night after he gets off work and he's reading me all the text parts cuz I can't read yet and we manage to get through like the 3rd dungeon 2 weeks later and decide to call it a night. So we go to resume where we left off the next day and the files gone!. Little did we know that the nes had a tendency to erase saved data if you didn't hold the reset switch down. My dad got so pissed that he took the game back to the store and exchanged it for Metroid the next day. I also got so pissed playing super street fighter from a street fighter collection disk that I used to have when I couldn't beat Major Bison that I pulled the disk out of the tray and threw it in the fireplace! (it was lit too!)

Getting through any challenge past the fifteenth was tough

Yeah the challenges are gay. I just play the story mode. It fuckin' rocks.

[Darth Cariss]

Medal of Honor, Turok, any Final Fantasy game past the Nintendo.

Yeah. Bad memories.

About 5 years ago, I was playing thru Grant Turismo 2 doing the dealer races (which were really annoying because you'd have to buy a usually crummy car and try to tech it to where it would be driveable.) Anyway, I get to the Dodge races and one of them is a Dodge Neon Cup.  : I play this race I kid you not, at least 25-30 times and lose pretty much every time. I finally try it again and I'm winning only to hit a bump and have every car zoom past me at the last second.

I get pissed, I punch a wall. Split my knuckles and cause damage to the wall. Definitely not my finest hour.

Umm... I tossed my GBA SP at the wall after getting frustraterd after being cnsecutively killed by Death in CV Classic NES series. Yeah. It broke and thats how I discovered that the screens of many devices contain ink that spills inside the system when cracked.
