I made the first wii-mote and nunchuk combo out of a n64 controller thanks to a flawless 2 min run that ended in a bail and the loss of a near million point combo.
oh yeah. Forget to mention the game that caused this was Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. This game caused a lot of frustration and many damaged goods, but ripping a controller in half is the most memorable.
I broke my Gamecube and controller by throwing my controller at my Gamecube after I got cut up, last second, in one of the pro races in SSX On Tour.
Sold it on eBay for £5 though...
I also have a bad habit of biting the muscle of my thumb on my palms, which has given me several bruises after a stressful game incident.

I'm actually pretty mild when it comes to getting angry at my games. The worst thing that's happened was my headphones breaking because I rolled over them in my office chair.
Dude, you could have at the very least sold it and gotten some monetary retribution... I'm just saying.
"This is mostly due to having a nice, soft female face to punch repeatedly when I suffer yet another stupidly cheap death in Far Cry 2."
Try to avoid the face, obvious bruises, y'know.
I woke up an hour earlier than I normally would for about a week so I could get extra Runescape time in before school. That's about it.

Dented the shiznit out of my old PC case before even getting to play the game in question (SystemShock2) after spending ages getting the damn thing to work on Vista and installing a load of mods only to have a power cut at the critical moment of game loading (in my defence it had been a long day).
Result - £75 replacing a custom PC case. Thank Greyskull I didn't damage any of the internals...

The worst thing a game ever made me do wasn't out of anger, but out of desperation.
Around 1999, I bought the Dreamcast port of Capcom Vs SNK 2 from someone off Ebay. This was before the GC/PS2/Xbox even existed, let alone the promise that those consoles would also get a port of this game in a "dying genre". I thought that if I didn't get the game working on my Dreamcast, I would never get to play it, EVERS!
The disc came in the mail, but didn't work. I was so desperate to play it, I figured I could use the PS1-style disc swap method to get the Japanese disc to run on my console. If you've ever tried it with the Dreamcast, you know that keeping the console's lid open while doing the swap is nearly impossible.
Long story short, I ended up sawing off the lid of my Dreamcast, permanently damaging it in the process, and it was all for nothing. The problem was that the disc was a bootleg, one that was never going to play on any console. I contact the seller, he apologized, and then sent me a proper version of the game.
Then I had to buy a new Dreamcast. Luckily, by that time the console had pretty much died, so a new one only cost me $20 or so.

-EBA made me punch and break my DS.
-DOA4 made me smash my 360 controller.
-My SNES controllers would probably have been broken by now, but the things are indestructible.

My Sega Saturn has had it's share of shitty times. A few years ago, it refused to boot up any game that I put in. Omce, in a fit of rage because of that, I whipped the controller up into the air and ripped out the metal connector. That controller is still broken, but at least my Saturn plays anything I put in it now.
I guess that's more of a lack of games that made me do it, oh well..

I remember losing it years ago and palming the back of my bed in half and then putting a hole in the wall with my elbow in the same move. The cause? My mate beating me 6 rounds in a row with the same kick with Eddy Gordo in Tekken 3. We still use the term Tekken Rage.
I'm not a destructive person. The most a game has gotten me to do is swear profusely, which is a bit severe since I don't curse much otherwise. Still, nothing serious like breaking a PSP.
I punched 2 holes in the wall thanks to Soul Caliber II. Had to cover them up with a couple of small Star Wars Posters.
Jesus... you people have no respect for your personal belongings. I could not fathom the idea of smashing a $150 psp in a fit of rage... mostly because I'm poor and can't afford to go buy another one. At least smash the game before the console... The game is much cheaper replace.
When I was really young I threw my friends out of my house when they yanked my mega-drive off the cabinet it was on and crashed my game of 'Sparkster'. I also chewed the edge of my controller after being PAINFULLY frustrated at getting my ass kicked by the CPU in Soul Blade/Edge/whatever it was then.
Since then though I haven't really done anything. Far Cry 2 I sent back to the rental company an hour after playing it when I died repeatedly after loading a saved game. I feel kind of like I should've spent more time with it. Also Street Fighter IV, because the single-player is balls and that pissed me off. I know it's not about the single-player at all, but when Guilty Gear has a complete Story Mode with branching paths and three endings for each character I guess I was hoping for that kind of treatment again. And of course the numerous SP modes from the Soul Calibur games.

I personally got so worked up and hot from playing incredible crsis for the PSone that I started to stipping to help regulate the heat. When my mom came into my room, I was half naked, sweating profusely, swearing, and button mashing the ps controller for dear life as I try to beat one of those levels.
Hmm... I'm generally a pretty relaxed person, so not anything to extreme. But, there was this time when I was playing Kingdom Hearts (the first one), and when I was just about to kill the bastard, my PS2 freakin' died. I screamed so loud the guy who lives next to me almost called the police.
Good times.
Good times.
I grew up knowing that if I broke stuff, I wouldn't get a replacement, plus most of my games I bought with my own money. So I didn't wanna have to buy new stuff. I just got red in the face and swore a lot.
Well just yesterday I asked garison if I could play his PS3, he said when he was finished. When he was finished he still would'nt let me play so in one clean swipe i pushed all his castle crashers figures onto the floor from a rather high shelf. The only broken part was a sword handle though. He was still mad as fuck.
Yanked a nunchuck cord in half after failing over and over again to kill the final boss in Sonic and The Black Knight. Still haven't beat that fucker...
Many years ago I sadly broke my Sega Nomad across my knee after losing a particularly heated match of MK3 in a fit of rage. It was a very sad day. I had great difficulty just finding a unit to purchase and the many months of saving my allowance had been wasted in a single moment of unadulterated anger. Plus, they do make a nice collectors piece. Personally, I thought the Nomad was one of the neatest handhelds on the market besides the PSP. Sadly, mine is forever gone. *Sigh*
I had my own snes controller. You could tell it was mine because it had teeth marks around the buttons from the many times I bit it and shook it around like a rabid dog.
Oh boy, here we go.
My worst incidence of violence was during a particularly heated Halo 2 match. It ended badly for me and I threw my controller at the xbox, which broke it, the controller and scratched the game disc. I had to sell my copy of steel battalion to replace it all. I miss that game so bad. =(
Besides that, Def Jam Vendetta caused me to slam the gamecube controller on top of the gamecube, cracking the top. It still works. And the last boss of Metroid Fusion caused me to throw my GBA clear across the room.
It seems it runs in the family too, my aunt, knowing I love video games, asked me if it would be possible to fix my cousin's DSphat. Unfortunately for my cousin, he had torn it in half at the hinges and stabbed the touchscreen with the stylus multiple times. Needless to say, it was dead. I don't know what game he was playing at the time.

this one isnt necessarily me, but my brother. one time, we were playing NBA JAM on the genesis, he was the chicken, i was bill clinton, and i totally fucked his shit up. he responded to losing so well that HE PICKED UP THE SYSTEM AND BROKE IT OVER MY HEAD!!! i havent played the game since.
ha, i understand the pain.. most of my rage has been do to call of duty 4 and 5, and guitar hero and rock band...
i've destroyed 3 GH2 guitars, a Rock band guitar, a rb drum set, 4 360 wireless controllers, a couple of battery packs, a wireless headset (luckily nothing was visible, but it stopped recharging so i got to exchange it) and a wired headset.
ya, i know i'm destructive, i usually don't talk in the normal call of duty chat either, i got told to shut up once.. i get really angry when crap happens to me, especially when i hit someone with a shotgun from 20 feet away on hardcore, and they shrug the hit off and proceed to shoot me in the chest.. i generally get a party of some of my friends together and they all laugh when i get pissed of and start yelling profanities.. i've got quite a few stories, but i won't flood them all here...

I don't know what game it was, but on my original DS I've cracked the frame of the top screen because I got frustrated and it. Also one of the hinges is wonky. Still works though.
Also when I was at my friend's house one time, I was watching him play WoW and he got ganked in PVP and he lifted his keyboard and smashed it down on the desk, breaking the little stands at the bottom and some of the keys flew off. That was amusing.
And one unrelated to games, when I realized Eminem was completely shite after buying one of his singles, I snapped the few albums I had of him since his music is dead.

Once I was playing Uno and I lost when I totally should have won so I grabbed my kitten Spakey shook him a bit dashed him against the wall crushed him to death in my hand then bit his cute little head off.
Then some of the blood dripped on the controller and now one of the triggers is a bit sticky

A frustrating round of...Loco Roco 2? Ouch. That game makes me do nothing but smile when I'm playing it, it's such a happy game.
My Gameboy Advance met an early end due to a rather unfortunate round of Mario Tennis (GBC). The computer kept hitting the ball back, again and again and again and again...you get the idea. I got a bit frustrated, and BAM, my GBA screen met my forehead, cracking down the center. This was right at the beginning of a long car trip back home from Texas to Virginia as well, so suffice to say I was not too happy.

i wish i had pics of it... back on my PS1 i was playing some fighting game (probably battle arena toshinden) anyways fighting games always piss me off when i lose and finally i think i just snapped when i lost to Verm one too many times and i threw the controller outside onto the deck then grabbed my BB gun (the Co2 one that looks like the six shot dirty harry fucking gun) i emptied 20 rounds into the controller. then picked it up again and proceeded to simulate the hammer toss from the olympics in my back yard.
4 days and nights later i went out into the yard and got the controller and dried it off...plugged it in holes and all stared playing Toshinden again. (i still have the controller somewhere at my parents house...i should find it...its the only PS1 controller to survive one of my tantrums)

I used to be pretty horrid with this gamer rage shit. I can't really remember the offending games except for Golden Eye, but....
a NES was smashed on a cinder block.
a Genesis was crushed via ax kick.
a SNES took a dip in a pool
a Sega Saturn was stabbed repeatedly with a broad sword, also put a nice gash in the carpeting
a Nintendo 64 was stomped to bits and it's 4 multicolored controllers drug down the highway behind my car like cans on a newly wed mobile.

The worst I ever did because of a game is this
It was a clean break of the wrist after punching a wall after losing in OT to a cheap shot artist in NHL 95 in a college dorm. Most expensive, stupid thing I've ever done. Now I just swear and open hand pound the carpet.

I got really frustrated leading Yorda through puzzles in Ico just to see her get taken away and everytime I tried saving her I'd get shoved until she was gone... so I threw my ps2 controller at a wall... needless to say all the shoulder buttons flew off... but they popped back on :)
The Worst thing I've ever done is bite a controller really hard, but didn't cause any permanent damage.
I'm usually a very violent, angry person but I'm not stupid enough to break an expensive piece of equipment just because of my own shortcomings. I usually just shout FUCK at the top of my lungs or hammerfist my couch/matress.
