Ever being frustrated when losing to a game? I'm sure that nobody is always away from frustration. It even happened to me occasionally. At least, you can always try to control your anger. Otherwise, you might face more serious conesquences, such as breaking your controller.
Varying from person to another, a frustration usually occurs when you don't fulfill a condition to win a game. Obviously, this seems to happen more often in harder games and/or in a category you don't master quite well.
Today, while I was attempting to win in 100cc Star Cup in Super Mario Kart, I kept struggling in one track until I figured out that I could try to slow down a little. Then, I wasn't able yet to win this cup, thanks to its "hard-to-master" control, caused me to get off the track quite frequently and hit on CPUs, even if I used Koopa. Ugh.
My anger takes over, then I turned off the console.
Also, I once broke my original DS's upper screen by my fist, because I haven't got 3 star in Lightning Cup (Mirror Mode) in Mario Kart DS. CPUs were such an nightmare again, due of its cheap luck. They often threw me many red shells and blue shells on me.
<small>OK, I'm aware that I only mentionned Mario Kart games, because they always seems to pop out in my brain, for some reasons, but there are other games that still turn our faces into red.</small>
So, how does your frustration goes on?
