I found the SMAS incarnation of SMB2J, which I have beaten, to be much easier than the original version, which I have not beaten.

Chup says the physics of the SMAS incarnation are messed up.

I love how this poll has been dead tied the whole way.

When I was younger and playing Super Mario 64, I threw the controller (a really cool one, too) against the wall because I couldn't get a star in Tick Tock Clock. It kind of broke, but it still worked fine, but eventually it fully broke (can't remember why). I don't throw things anymore, since I have pretty much no reaction to being stuck in a game.
We went to see them for the first time in 5 years because they were going away for 3 years.

I did once, but out of joy.

I tend to throw controllers downward at my feet instead of at walls, since I'm an old fogey who still uses wired controllers, and throwing those will also lead to throwing the system itself (or at least yanking it). The only time I've thrown a piece of gaming hardware at a wall was when I flew into a rage after the "Wrong Side of the Tracks" mission in GTA: San Andreas[/], which caused me to throw my memory card at the wall.

I have done it in the past, but I don't do it now. Unlike one of my brothers, who hits the Wii (and other things) when he gets beaten by the computer on Mario Strikers Charged Football.

Yes, I often swear as well in order to let me vent my anger all the way.

The other night I was tempted to throw my Wiimote into my crappy old TV cause it (the TV) wouldn't turn back on.

Marble Blast Ultra on XBLA - I'm coming extremely close to controller throwing, for the first time in years. Stay tuned.

I threw my controller before, not because I lost, but because my game cube went to crap on me. My computer too, man, my computer.......

I threw my Gamecube controller at the screen as I lost against the Shadow Queen on PM: TTYD. She only had 2 HP left!
