I’ve only thrown a controller once. I was 15, playing a stealth challenge room in Arkham Asylum, dead set on getting a noteworthy spot on the leaderboard. One of my countless attempts pissed me off, but I got it eventually.

But I don’t get angry playing games. More like I get dissatisfied or annoyed. I can get mildly frustrated if I feel like I’m not improving, but if it feels momentary, I take a break, and if it feels like an ongoing issue, I figure the game is not for me. Bottom line is that I play games for challenge. I am just as likely to get frustrated with something feeling too easy as something feeling too hard.
