Have you folks ever broken vidya game or computer equipment due to sheer anger, dumb luck or just flat out irresponsible? If so what was it and how much did it cost?
Hard mode: not just a controller.
I remember back when the 64 was just stepping down as the hot stuff as the PS2 was about a few months away or so. I was carrying my very own 64 in a plastic bag on the way back from a friends house. I was riding a bike (this is important) and holding the 64, 2 controllers and a rumble pack in a plastic bag on one of the handle bars. What I didn't notice was the rather big rip in the side with the weight of the system putting more strain on it. Well I decided to goof around on the bike and just wave the handle bars back and forth to get this nice zig zagging motion.
The bag rips the **** open and sends all the equipment to the pavement with enough clicking and clacking to warrant it's own techno remix.
Damage: The reset button was loose and didn't work, controller joystick broke off and D pad didn't work (though I think that was because the controller was already ****) and the system would only work on days when it felt like working. It also picked up a very distinct rattle noise. I don't remember but I think a few controller ports didn't work either nor the expansion pack.
This actually cost me nothing since the ps2 was coming up and everybody else pretty much owned a 64 already.
and earlier on in life in the NES era. I was fist pound the NES while playing Double dragon II: the revenge. God damn platform jumping sections (meaning 1/3 of the game)
