I think David and were antagonizing you (instead of you know, helping) but it's still pretty funny. I think my worst gaming tantrum came when I was trying to finish up my Rogue Leader Gold Medal FAQ--the Battle of Endor. Ugh. I had soooo wanted to be done with it and finally I completed the 9 + minute long mission with the proper stats, only to have an errant tie fighter ram into me with 1 second left to mission end. While I wisely chucked my controller into a pillow, I actually bit a hole through my shirt. Haha! I think David and were antagonizing you (instead of you know, helping) but it’s still pretty funny.

Jess apparently disagreed with me, because the phrasing she used to try and cheer me up was along the lines of "It's only a video game!", to which I responded with something like "Like you've never flipped out at insignificant stuff before." Oops. Anyway, I don't remember "I'm going to throw up now." I do remember going into the bathroom, partly because I legitimately had to use it, and a self-pitying "I'm still good at rhythm games anyway." after the fact (Although I maintain that whatever decision I made, I think it was hitting people rather than going for the ball, was ultimately the correct one, as they would have gotten to it before I could anyway).

So was your tantrum a little one or big one-- hard to tell by the way you worded it. The only gaming tantrum I've actually seen (by you) is the time Dave and I were buggin' you in Mario Strikers, and I believe your quote was "I'm going to throw up now".
