I got to say, I'm quite a bit like that. I get ultra-hyper-competitive, and nothing really pisses me off more than losing. In my gaming career, I've gone through around 3 atari controllers, 7 genesis controllers (and that's with me repairing some [thank you Mr. Wizard]), 2 Genesis systems, one turbographix 16, 1 NES, 4 PS1 controllers, 2 PS1 systems, and a dreamcast controller. I'm sure that my Xbox would've met the same fate before I sold it, but I was afraid I might pull a muscle if I tried to throw that controller. I've calmed down some, but I will still leave my friend's house if I lose a game too bad (usually trailing a cloud of swear words, insults, and "the game cheated" comments). As a matter of fact, about the only time I use swear words whatsoever is in competitive situations (video games, board games, card games, sports, gambling, whatever). And when driving, but I treat driving as a competitive activity.
