How do you deal with stress when playing video games?

[Comrade Tovya]

The worst time was when I was playing R6V2... I had 29 straight kills, and right before I shot the guy for kill #30, the battery in my controller died... i chunked the controller against my hardwood floors, and it ricochet up and hit my 360 dead on, knocking it on its side which tore up my disc.

Therefore, I had to go down to GameStop and buy another controller, headset, and a new copy of R6V2. $140.00 bucks flushed away in a micro-second. By the time I got back, I was out of my "groove" per se, and I sucked it up for a couple of games and called it quits for the night.

Honestly, I've broken five 360 controllers and two headsets due to stress.

I have since decided to stop throwing my money down the drain ($360.00 bucks would have bought me 6 more games, but instead I wasted it)

Therefore, if I get so stressed that I become enraged, I turn off the system for about 20 minutes to calm down. Otherwise, my wife grounds me from my toy.
