Yeah, I remember throwing an NES controller in rage at a really hard wall. The controller recieved only a minor scrape, but the wall was hit with such concussive force that it exploded (okay, it just chipped, but it was a HARD wall).
I don't know why, but I've always wanted to see what it would look like to see a GameCube get blasted with a 12-gauge shotgun (especially after losing twice in a row in RE4). Bonus points if it's loaded with explosive shells or monkey poo.
