I once twisted the handles of a dual shock in opposite directions until the whole thing came apart. I mean I'm kind of strong but I'm not hulk those things arent built worth a gently caress

Sexier than assless chaps
I tell the boss "Oh man! You really got me that time! That was really good! You're good at this!"
Then I glare at him and grit my teeth until one of them cracks off, then I spit the chunks at the TV and growl, "You're loving dead, bro."
Then I win.

in animal crossing, a rare fish is pretty much the closest thing to a boss there is

you have my approval, gamer

This happened to me on the legendary ship fights of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and I would get super mad and say things like, "This boat is loving bullshit!" and "gently caress this stupid loving iron boat" or "How the gently caress does a big loving ship that weighs the weight of half a forest loving go faster than hermes' flying taint" and my throat would get hoarse but by twisting the cap off of a nice ice-cold and refreshing Mountain Dew I would soothe my temper and eventually summon the gaming skills to destroy those big ships.

I do that thing in anime where I hang my head in shame and grimace, and the top of my face goes all dark so you can't see my eyes and so does whatever's behind me (usually my old Nintendo Power posters).

I become so exasperated at the fact that the boss would have caved with one more hit that the next 6 or 7 subsequent attempts I don't even get close, and then the next day I come back and destroy the boss with little effort because flustered gaming is a severe handicap.

Dark Samus on Phaaze is loving hard on hypermode. Now that was an intense fight.
