We have all felt this way, but a few gamers have taken their frustrations to a new level over a glitch.
Infinite Interactive, based in Melbourne, received threatening emails from gamers frustrated by a battle malfunction in Puzzle Quest: Challenge Of The Warlords.
Chief executive officer Steven Fawkner filled us in on the slightly disturbing must mostly saddening threats at Capcom's Captivate 08 event in Las Vegas.
Mr Fawkner says he received "One death threat in 25 years of game development," then "Puzzle Quest comes out and I had six death threats and one bomb threat."
The glitch itself only affects PSP players, affecting how the computer controlled characters act in the battle sequences.
The Australian based company is not worrying too much, saying that the threats had come from overseas location, confirming once and for all the Australian gamer is the sanest, most attractive and generally best around the globe.
"They actually left their email addresses on them, so we know who they came from," he said.
