WC writes: We all love to game. Whether it’s a quick twenty minutes on a beat-‘em-up before work or a hefty ten hour session on our favourite RPG, we turn to games to escape the frustrations of our day to day lives.
And more often than not, they serve that purpose. But every now and again, a game comes along that causes more stress than pleasure, and whether it’s by accident or design, no medium can get us quite as frustrated quite as quickly.
I had a think back over the last fifteen years and recalled those moments in gaming that have had me at my most frustrated; to the point where I thought the joypad would break under the force of my spasming palms.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at 10 of gaming’s most nerd-rage inducing moments.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth.

heh, the picture of Kirk raging at Kahn never gets old. that said, i don't agree with number #3, you bought Dark Souls expecting a hard time. now, Maneaters from Demon's Souls is a better #3 candidate since nobody expected Demon's Souls to be that hard the first time around...
For me it was bringing down that Ship in Star Wars: Force Unleashed. The most frustrating part of that game and it almost made me return it. It also kept me from trying the sequel.
Fuck Lydia i hate her so much and i am glad each time she dies in one of my games!!! her and the way she says "i am sworn to carry your burdens" can suck it :P
