Destroying controllers in slow-motion

We smash game controllers because we can

Words: Shane Patterson, GamesRadar US

No one really breaks their controllers in a fit of unchecked aggression for failing in difficult games like Ninja Gaiden II. That doesn’t mean we don’t secretly glance at our systems periodically and crave to bash the ever-loving crap out of what we hold dear as some sort of cathartic release. Well, you can’t. After all, gaming is an expensive hobby/lifestyle/deviance. We, however, have the resources at our disposal and have collected a number of old controllers (and one unlucky Xbox) for a smashing excursion. Behold: all the fun we’re having!

Above: We finally destroyed a Guitar Hero controller like a true rock star 


Above: The Xbox is the toughest console we’ve ever seen 


Above: Like a gruesome car accident. Almost beautiful

hmm, I thought that the Gamecube was the toughest console ever.
I guess we will wait to see the neck cutting feature later.

The samurai sword was also wicked.
