I twisted/bent my controller out of anger and it broke in half. This happened after the game froze the 5th time in a row in Star Ocean 4's Wandering Dungeon, on 16th floor...

Twisting the controller with my hands is usually my habit when I get really mad. Normally it doesn't break, but when I get really mad and the adrenaline kicks in... it can happen, lol. Game freezes and power outages in what makes me mad the most. Since when I die in a game It's usually because of my weakness so I can simply grind and get stronger, but if it's the game that freezes... it's not my fault, and that's what usually makes me really mad.

turn off the game and come back to it later
Trying is the first step towards failure.

"I just take a deep breath and keep trying."

I picked that, but what I really do is cuss a whole lot and then do that. I like to go running, so that helps sometimes and is healthy too.

Do something else is also a nice go-to

You forgot the politician-approved option of 'Commit uncontrolled violence, attempting to injure as many people as possible'.

I usually just slam my controller around and punch the walls, doors, desk, etc. I've punched through many walls, doors, and and broken my desk several times.

When I get really mad, I'll punch myself in the stomach or the face. Or I'll go find my girlfriend and push her around and be really mean to her.

I broke my HDTV once by throwing my controller at it. I know its stupid but until then I had no idea how fragile they were. I was used to playing on CRTs which can take a really good punch. It was Wipepout HD that made me do it. I was so addicted to it that after I broke the TV I just hooked it up to another TVand kept playing.

That's funny. I remember grabbing an old TV and yelling at it back in the day. They could take a punch too.. I wouldn't dare do that to my LCDs now.
