We’ve all wanted to maim, mutilate and destroy a console before, haven’t we? Perhaps the home screen won’t load. Or maybe cartridges can’t be read. Hell, maybe a console has a terrible, fussy personality and can’t be relied upon when you need it most. (Like on days off from work or sick days.)
I don’t know about you, but thinking about those terrible, frustrating moments — like when my Xbox 360 went tits-up and consequently stalled my Mass Effect 3 progress — then immediately watching the above video was quite relieving. But at the same time it was also a bit terrifying and sad. Think of all of the memories! THE MEMORIIIIIIEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!

When has a console frustrated you the most?
Actually my biggest worry when I got my iPad was that I’d slam it down or throw it across the room in frustration. Hasn’t happened. (Yet.)
They can take my red ring of death 360 and throw it in there. hahaha
