What is the stupidest thing you've ever done after being frustrated at a game and what game was it? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

My stupidest thing was this morning when i was playing Final Fantasy X. i was racing on the chocobos and not doing well. i got really annoyed and to venty my anger i hit the floor. it hurt. alot. it almost felt like i'd broken it. i was fine in the end though. stupidest thing is i'll probably do it again. :rolleyes: [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color=pink>Hrmm, the time In Diablo 2 i was dueling my lvl 97 nova sorceress who had my best items on. I had forgotten to sell some stuff from my inventory, so it was full. When u die with a full inventory, all your items fly off your body for everyone to take. Well this Amazon managed to kill me...bye bye SoJs and my Tal Rashas set....i kicked a wall, ripping my pinky toenail off, then screamed and cried while i proceeded to thrash my room. I never dueled again, needless to say...a few months later doing tons of trades and MF runs i got my stolen stuff back....damn that Amazon...</font>

I have smashed a keyboard in sheer fustration - keys flying all over the room. [img]graemlins/madatpc2.gif[/img]

I managed to put all the keys back in place - but for some reason the keyboard didn't work very well afterwards ;)

These days I walk over to my bad and hit the pillow or scream really loudly [img]graemlins/scream.gif[/img]

I remember, that it is merely a game ;)

good for you! i however will probably and up breaking my hand one of these days, but until then i won't leran my lesson :D

I was playing Dark Alliance on the Playstation, and I came to a bit where you have to time your jumping to get across a ravine with lots of stones, but if you land on the stones slightly wrong, you drop and die. I must have done this 50 times, swearing slightly at the beginning, until after the 50th time I was screaming at the TV and calling it everything under the sun. I chucked the controller over to one side of the room and kicked the table by the side of me. Then stomped upstairs muttering how unfair the game was.

My boyfriend just sat there and laughed at me and then I felt silly, but I had the window open and the neighbours must have thought they lived next to a nutter!!!!

Funny though, after throwing all my toys out of the pram on that occasion, I came downstairs and tried once more - and I bloody did it, straight off, no problem..... amazing what a fit of temper will do!!

I have punched the computer monitor numerous times when I'm frustrated with games. This is the third monitor I'm using now. The first two fell into the floor and the screen was smashed when I pucnhed it in frustration. :(

good for you! i however will probably and up breaking my hand one of these days, but until then i won't leran my lesson :D </font>[/QUOTE]lol I'll be waiting for you to order a new computer.

I suppose crying over losing your Character in a game is pretty stupid... so um yeah that's about it for me, I don't get mad... physically....

I was installing Windows once and it would not innstall then after 4 times trie i was so angry that i trow the computer over the table and in to the floor ggrrrrr! then windows would NOT install on that one for sure! lol

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchet MS">Well banging my head against a wall always hurts... [img]tongue.gif[/img] And I have done it more than a few times. </font>

I think the key point to this thread was to say how you killed your computer...not how you killed a wall :D

Heh, like Scholarcs I remember it is just a game. But the dumbest thing I did in a game was playing the Homeworld demo before the game had come out. Oh, we were loving that demo and drooling for HW to be released. I had a particularly good game going, I had the game set to "no unit cap". I was trouncing my foe but good. During this game I went on a "salvage corvette" capturing spree. Between the Frigates and Destroyers (no Heavy Cruisers in the demo) I was cranking out and those captured from the enemy, I had something like 45 capital ships all set in a Wall Formation guarding sweet pez dispenser mama ship. The problem came in that I had so many salvaged cap ships waiting to be converted that I lost track. Between having my fighters and corvettes taunting enemy caps so that my pesky pilferers (sal vettes) could sneak in unmolested and whisk them away to mother vahalla for total conversion, disposing of enemy fighters and vettes and watching for my new recruits to pop out of the oven so that I could assign them to a battle group. Those who have played HW know that if you play as Kushan, capital ships come out of mamasita's hanger bay pointing straight up and down, bow pointing upwards. I was quite pleased to see another Destroyer in the above described position and intended to add it to my large group of cap ships by selecting my cap ship group and intended to add the ship by pressing 'shift' + group number. With all the other details I was monitoring, what I failed to see was that this Destroyer was NOT coming out of the hangar bay. The design of HW Cataclysm made it very easy to see if your salvage vettes were still controlling an enemy cap ship, but in HW it was/is difficult to see if your sal vettes are still attached to an enemy cap ship, especially if you are zoomed out a ways to see the larger picture. My pilfering band of neredowell sal vettes had only recently released this Destroyer for conversion, and it was on the way into the hanger bay. To make matters even worse, this Destroyer was still technically an enemy ship and I missed the 'shift' key and pressed 'ctrl' and left clicked on it instead. My nice wall formation of 40+ cap ships pivoted smartly enough in position to make any drill instructor proud and commecenced blazing away at the Destroyer. I was totally dumbfounded for a moment, trying to figure out what the FRICKING FRACKING HECK was FRIGGING going on while I impotently watched the Destroyer inexorrably drawn into the bowels of my command ship with all the Ion beams and cannons of 40+ cap ships pummeling it. This process only took about 5 seconds for me to figure out what had happened. I was in the process of pressing the "~" key to cancel the attack order when this (hind end) Rear Fleet Admiral was forced to watch in utter disbeleif as the Destroyer exploded inside my mother ship and then she in turn blossomed in a spectacular display of obliteration. At first I couldn't believe that a Destroyer blowing up inside my mother ship would be enough to destroy it, but then I remembered a (very cheezy) glitch some people had figured out, which if they could manage to Hyper Jump a cap ship to exact position of an enemy MS, the MS would be destroyed when the cap ship came out of hyper space, so I supposed what happened to me wasn't so far off. It truly sucked to have been in total control of the game, and could have won it any time, then to end up destoying myself and losing. I guess you can tell the image of this disaster is indelably imprinted on what remains of my sotted memory [img]smile.gif[/img]
