Hardware Smashing Moments

Angel_of_Death · 2004-02-22, 10:31 PM

What were some of your most annoying moments while playing a game, and if you really had a bad experience, what were the results?

I'll start this off: This X-mas break, me and a few buddies went up North to my friend's cottage for a week and a half. Well, there was a huge snowstorm, and we were basically locked inside for most of the week and a half there. We had no cable, so we played ALOT of games. Well, we each took turns working on FF7 (all we had was a PS1 and a couple of bad games besides FF7) and we had a combined 20 hours of gameplay, and we were very far into the game. Well, one of my friends was playing and he is kind of dumb, to put it lightly. So, we were all just talking and not really paying attention, and he was saving....and like the moron he is, saved over our saved file. I swear to you we all grabbed something between the 7 of us and chucked it at the wall (luckily it was already fucked): 2 controllers, somebody grabbed the PS, another threw a small suitcase (full), and I can't remember about the other people.

Yes we had alot of rage, and you would to if you were locked inside a cottage with nothing to do besides play PS.

Anyways, what were some of your most annoying moments?

When I get pissed in tennis I hit my racket on the ground. It's now misshaped (but still useable).

In electronic games I usually just hit my desk.

I was very very far into Armored Core 2, and was playing on my friends save for a little change of pace, and to help him out. Well you know how it gets when you save, you remember which slot it was. Mine was slot 2. So like always I get into the save menu and without thinking I go down to slot 2 real quick and hit save, realizing I wasn't on my file

. I never did finish that game after that.

Well I get angry with meh planes all the time. Sometimes when something wont go back into the plane I just leave it on the ground and hope no one notices.

It makes me feel safe to know that airplane mechanics like peacemaker are working on the planes that I fly in from time to time.

hardware smashing moments. . . . Americas Army TWL match my computer had been iffy. IT crashed just as I was about to win the match, my mouse (which I tend to grip tightly during games) met my wall, it broke into about 30 or 40 pieces.

and playing PS get blue screen of death during a battle on amerish about 10 seconds before what was a 5k bep hack (back when thay had those) I hit my keyboard so hard, it cracked in half.
