biggest personal game rage moments?

What are some of you're personal rage moments when it comes to gaming?

One of my earliest ones was Ninja Turtles on the NES.. I was a kid and I was so excited to get a tmnt game... Little did I know the people who made that game must have hated children or possibly was the devil themselves.. Never made it past the bombs in the dam stage.... They must have made controllers more durable back then I tossed my controller so many times.

A more recent one was God of War ... Those stupid rotating bladed pillars... I eventually did it... But I was bargaining with god at that point... "please please god if you help me through this I swear I will give up whiskey... Come on!"

... Don't get me started on Bongo Bongo...

    Ugh. Mine are mostly isolated to freezing. NES games and modern EA titles made/make me want to throw my controller. I used to...before they started costing over $50. As for just things that gave me trouble, all that really comes to mind right now is that stupid piece of crap glide plane from Vice City.

    2004... I was 13 at the time... I remember I was playing Battle for Middle-Earth on the hardest difficulty setting... Helm's Deep... oh my god, that map's a bitch. It does get insane after a while, because you're basically facing two or three players (i.e. armies) and they constantly attack you, and then there was this constant rain (which was the same as the 'rain' spell the dark side has which is a buff for their units)... but reinforcements would come in 10 minutes or so, and that will make things a lot easier, right?

    WRONG.

    As it turned out, reinforcements that you receive are Gandalf + whatever state Eomer's army was in. In my case it was poor, the mission with Eomer before that ended with only one squad of horsemen surviving. That's 5 people. Gandalf, Eomer, and five people. I was like 'WHAT THE @#$%! NO. NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. NO. THE SHIT. WHAT. WHY. DAMN. HELL.'.... luckily for me, my Gandalf was level 10 at that point, and he's got a totally OP area of effect spell at level 10... that was my saving grace. It didn't make things easy, oh no, it was still hard as hell. It did, however, make them easiER and I managed to defeat the level.

    PS. And yeah, I was raging so much when I saw my reinforcements that my brother and mother had to run in to ask what the hell has happened.

    PSS. I'll try to remember more stories... Some are pretty generic, like QfG4's constant crashes, don't want to tell them.

    I don't rage. I quit a game before I really start to get angry.

    I was once so angry with the special stages in Sonic Advance 2, I smashed the GBA with my head and broke the screen, which meant I had to get a new one.

    True story.

    When I was younger (we're talking 5/6) I had a Chitty Chitty bang bang game on the PC. Only I got annoyed with it freezing, took the game out and threw it in the bin. I spent the next year or so paranoid that my parent would find out.

    Gothic 2. When I first installed the expansion pack and the difficulty shot up, I got so pissed off by how impossible it was at the beginning of the game that I literally smacked my laptop so hard that I broke the hard drive.

    Oh great. I'd mentally blocked those hateful abominations out. Now I remember them. The pain. Oh the pain. So thank you very much for unblocking my memory of such hateful atrocities. Thanks a bunch. Asshole.

    :D

    I don't have the PS3 version. I have played the PS2 one, and agree it is hard as nails, but I have done it. Twice (Hero Mode isn't as cool as it seems).

    Jak 2 could pass as one of the hardest games ever made

    Actually, I think Custer's Revenge gets that award.

    Get it? 'cause he's "hard".

    ...I'm so childish.

    I debated on whether to post this, but here goes.

    I was playing Halo 2 with my roommate, back when we were in college. He kept using the rocket launcher to kill me over and over until I finally chucked the controller at the tv, turned and tackled him and proceeded to put him into a triangle choke hold.

    You, sir, are awesome, and I don't know why the hell you hesitated in sharing your story with us.

    Ah, Super Meat Boy. There are achievements there.... for every world, if you go through all levels of that world (except for the boss one, I think, it doesn't care about the boss) without dying, you get an achievement... And I always thought and still think that it's insane. However. There was this one time when I tried to do it in one world, the Forest one. It's the easiest :p

    So I trained for a bit, got the hang of it... I felt so awesome, I wasn't dying. At all. Cue the last level. Blamo. Death. Never again will I try to get achievements for Super Meat Boy, to hell with those :p

    I excluded my screaming "FUCK THE ROCKET LAUNCHER!" the entire time this was happening.

    I honestly don't remember any big rage moments I've had at games. Maybe I blacked out during them and there was no one around to record the carnage.

    Or maybe I'm so quick with the reload button that any failure on my part was negated by either subsequent success or going to sleep.

    Well there was that one time...

    No wait it was that other time that...

    Well definitely when I...

    I rage all the time, I can't play a game without raging at least once.
    What can I say, I just have a very low tolerance. :p
