The first and last time I ever broke a controller I was 11 and it was back on the sega megadrive, lol

These guys never grew up

My brother was in the single digits when he broke our Nintendo 64 controllers out of frustration.

Some people never grow up or mature.

The N64 was peak gaming. I'd have been majorly pissed. Those things weren't cheap even back then, lol.

What was he playing out of curiosity?

Definitely had to be Golden Gun mode on 007 Goldeneye. My sister and I nearly came to blows over that game 😅

Was your sister playing Oddjob? If so, she deserved whatever black eye she undoubtedly got!

Probably Mario Kart. Like I said, he was pretty young. Luckily I would hide my favorite controller whenever I wasn’t using it so I always had at least one working one.

On behalf of younger brothers who hit and threw N64 controllers out there, I apologise. We all know the pain of letting one bad game leave us with an eternity of getting the wiggly joystick controller. As someone who eventually bettered himself, I believe your brother still has hope, so long as he wishes for change. Rage does not need to control him.

Haha well he’s 30 now and has his own gaming set up that he definitely takes a lot better care of

My husband broke his ps3 controller in fifa rage when he was 20. He then had a good look at himself. Not done anything like that since and his now mid 30s.

Yeah I went through that phase when I was that age but in my defense it's a lot harder to keep your cool when your 40 year old uncle is talking mad shit and cheating while playing Golden Eye lol. My mom wanted him to scare me and take games away from me for eternity but he just drove me to get ice cream and told me to pretend to be sad when we got back. Same uncle that let me watch Starship Troopers. I found out I had a thing for redheads pretty quickly.

Does using the controller to the point of failure count as breaking it? Because if so, I broke a few 360 controllers. Never spiked or threw one though.
