Did that once when a computer in work was playing up.
The thing switched itself off when I thumped the desk.
Don't do that anymore.

I've smashed the beejesus out of things before, but rarely generally things that I won't need (or really,
really,
REALLY pissed me off). Mostly it be hitting the sofa or chucking the controller into the sofa cushions to vent but not ruin my stuff.
A mate at uni smashed the hell out of a PS2 controller because it kept rumbling for no reason so he threw it, punched it, whacked it against the desk and wall and finally threw it down to the floor and yelled "stop F***ing rumbling!".......... silence....... and then..... *brrrrrrrrrt*...... a little, tiny quiver from the controller. We stamped the hell out of it while it was still plugged in, every now and then giving a little whirring rumble of defiance, until finally it lay slain.
Good times

And they say kids aren't getting enough exercise because of computer games.

I haven't thrown joysticks nor controllers, but I have chucked a chair at my brother's face when I couldn't beat him at a game of Street Fighter. Does that count?

That's quite extreme, I'd say it counts. I take it the chair didn't hit him?

It did hit, but he's still alive ... no permanent damage done! I think.
I should've pursued a career as a pitcher in baseball, or something. I'm deadly accurate at throwing things
