getting gold on the construction site in survival on L4D. Even with the best friends, we could not get past 8 minutes. Finally a server glitched with super gravity and we got gold. I got every achievement BUT that one.

In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion I turned into a vampire, and the lady that makes the cure glitched and was stuck in her that you can not enter, period. I would try and open the trapdoor in her fire place, and it would say I just had to wait. I was so angry that I always had to find necks to bite, and play large portions of the game at night. Urg!

Mario Strikers Charged. Freakin Petey. I broke the Wii`s "Sensitive" lens, and broke a nunchuk.:( Good thing I bought the Wii at Best Buy, because the Wiis there are insured for 2 years.:)

sorry i gotta elaborate on my answer. the first harry potter game for game boy color had me so frustrated (i was little and having trouble with a boss) that i literally smashed my gameboy on the floor. i got a new one a couple weeks later and was stupid enough to play it again. i beat that boss but then a mission had me fetching ingrediants for a potion and i skipped through the dialouge thinking i would get a list. cue one more smashed gameboy.

Left 4 Motherfucking Dead

Let me clarify... I love this game. Absolutely some of the best mise-en-scene (if I may use an arty film term) of any game I've yet scene. Love the little details, and also love actually have some motivation to keep my team alive. However, this game sends me into fits of rage like none other.

I've figured out the reason why... more than any other game, you're dealing with people. And as anyone with a job can tell you, other people suck. It's simply a fact of life. This is pretty much a verbatim X360 conversation/stream of thought from a few weeks ago. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Me: Finally! Some players with headsets!
Stupid Child: I have a headset!

This kid sounded all of 7 years old.

SC: I have the Zombiecidest achievement!
Me: Is that why you shot me in the back the last three times we've faced a horde?
SC: I don't know.
Me: OK, look. We're coming to the Platform. The last few times we've seen cars with alarms, you hit them. Don't do it this time. Let's wait, set things up.
SC: The screen says to hit the button!
Me: Look, kid. Don't hit the button. Look, there's some gas cans... let's spread them around...

I can see his character making a bee line towards the event trigger. Never even slowed down.

Me: Kid, don't hit that fucking button. Stop. Stop. Stop. Don't hit it. Don't hit the button. Stop. Don't hit that goddamn button. Don'thititdon'thititdon'thitit.

Of course he triggers the horde. I survive it, barely. With no health.

Me: Kid, why the fuck did you trigger that horde? I told you we weren't ready!!! What the fuck?
SC: The screen said to hit it!


Thus began a flurry of invective usually saved for war criminals. I'm pretty sure I heard a quaver in his voice, that normally precedes tears.

I didn't stick around long enough to hear it though. I already powered down my 360 and slowly walked away from the tv like a compulsive gambler walking away from the blackjack table after losing his company's pension fund.

And then promptly powered everything on again after about 10 minutes. Because more zombies had to die.

Playing Goldeneye with my N64 BFF Scott. We'd just spent half an afternoon trying to get the Invisibility cheat unlocked by beating Archives on 00 agent in a ridiculous short time. We managed to snap the stick off my generic controller, and switched to multiplayer.

Then the son of a bitch started spawn-camping me with proximity mines in the Temple, and I had no choice but to try and strangle him the the broken controllers cord. My mom broke us up, and took the N64 away for a week.

About 2 years ago I was playing guitar hero 2, trying to learn how to play expert. I got up to Carry me Home. I failed the beginning solo over 100 times. I finally got past it and immediately failed in the next section. I yanked the whammy bar out of the guitar, and smashed my tv with it. Then I snapped the neck of the guitar off and stomped on it. I then played the wind waker.

I think next week should be what was the happiest a game has ever made you. Interpret that however you like

The first tomb raider game on PS1...not far into the game you had to jump over a pit with a bear in it and get to the other side. Needless to say I fell into the pit. I killed the bear-no problemo...but I never did figure out how to get to the other side...I gave up and played a real man's game...Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets...(Flying that car in the tunnel with the train chasing you was damn hard btw!)

every GTA. the bullet that came from nowhere, the cops after you for no reason, the occasionally non-responsive buttons that result in death, and dumb-ass AI. everyone gets it, but with how much I played, I got it 3 times a day. GTA4 isn't so bad, but SA was terrible for it. tedious driving/flying lessons, anyone?

lol @ famousmortimer. it happens on resi5 and resistance 2 aswell, I hear your pain. sorry for the double post ppl.

Assassin's Creed because running footloose and fancy-free across rooftops earns me a well-aimed arrow in my thigh. I can't count the number of times I've been leaping and climbing about only to be nailed in the leg by some asshat archer.

The angriest I've been in recent memory has got to be Wesker in RE5. Oh, a QTE is the only way to finish him off, you say? Shooting that big pulsating weakspot on his chest and back won't be enough? Even though he screams in pain every time you do it? Oh, so you can't unload a small army's worth of ammo into said weakspot until you are left with only a knife to finish the job? So you can't keep knifing him in the back as he hopelessly fails to do even an iota of damage to you or your partner?

NO. You can shoot him three times with an upgraded pistol and then press a bunch of button prompts to stab him in the chest with the same knife you were just stabbing him in the chest with. Fuck you and your rocket launcher. I spent two hours in an endless knife fight with Wesker only to let myself die, restart and take him down in one and a half minutes. And then I got to see the stupid-as-all-hell ending cutscene to top it off. I'm still not quite over that.

Thanks for the mention; but I try not to get too angry at my games, although when I was playing FF Crystal Chronicles a few years back, I was pissed that the game reset and didn't save after hours of work. Didn't play the game for months after that.

Adventure - Atari 2600. Where is the damn key?

Velvet Assasain had me shouting in infuriation when I was forced to relive the same boring, crappily written 2-minute long German conversation every time I died before being able to attempt to assasinate two men again.

I also was very frustrated at a 25 second long death animation in Too Human, especially when I had selected the weakest, most unbalanced class in the game and was constantly being gang-banged by my enemies.
