Today, in an attempt to get my son to stop playing Call of Duty, I threw his Xbox controller out the window. He was so desperate, he followed it. His bedroom is on the second floor. My son has 3 broken ribs, and no future. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from my son's friend's dad, demanding I pick him up immediately. When I arrived, he marched me into the house and pointed at an Xbox controller lodged in the wall, informing me I'd be receiving the bill for drywall repair. FML
Today, I refused to play with my brother because he always breaks my stuff. Mom brought him into my room to force us to play together. He tripped and spilled coke on my Xbox, which smoked then died. Mom just backed out of the room with him slowly, like, "I see what you mean, we'll leave you alone now." I hate him so much. FML
Today, my 12-year-old son played QWOP on my laptop. Half an hour later, he virtually destroyed it in a fit of rage. FML
Today, after my 14 year-old son brought home six Fs on his report card, we decided to take away all his video games and sell them. He screamed for hours, then went into the kitchen and started smashing glasses against his head, "until we brought back his games." FML
Today, in an effort to try and be closer to my girlfriend's son, I bought him an expensive Xbox game I know he desperately wanted so we could play it together. He was excited, until he realised that I that paid for it. He snapped the disc and threw the pieces in the bin. At least I tried. FML
Today, I finally got my son to go for a run. He broke his neck 4 months ago and has been playing video games the entire time. I was a competitive runner once and run everyday. He kicked my ass, 21 minutes for the first 5k and he sped up. He was back playing video games when I finally got home. I think I lost a lung on the trails. FML
Today, I'm sitting in the ER with my eight-year-old son. He broke his arm after jumping out through the second story window. He was too impatient to walk to the ice cream van pulling up outside. FML
Today, in an attempt to keep my valuables safe, I snatched my PlayStation 4 controller from the hands of my 4-year-old nephew. Not knowing that it was connected, I ultimately yanked the PlayStation and the HD Flatscreen flat on their faces. FML
Today, I caught my boyfriend cheating so I broke up with him. As revenge he threw my PS3 and XBox out of the window when I wasn't in our house. I got those consoles out of the spare money my three jobs had brought in - the same three jobs I had to get because he refused to get a job of his own. FML
Today, my girlfriend threw my X-box out the window, because I asked her how much she weighs. FML

...WOW. That's some serious addiction right there. That boy needs therapy. Seriously though OP, you don't need to go that far. You can RROD an XBox 360 just by looking at it the wrong way. I should know -- I own one. -_-

My dad doesn't know I have an xbox. He'd do the same thing hahaha. So I only play when he goes away on business trips which is regular enough anyway.

My thought pattern would have been to unplug it and take the power cord, and also the games. Then again, I seem to be one of the few teenagers who actually uses this funny gray thing between their ears as something more than a hat rack. I play a lot of games, but I do so 2 days a week: Saturday and Sunday. Makes it easier on me when I can look forward to my gaming rather than getting tired of a game. Plus, it means I get games that last a little while. Oh, and on the console debate: PC FTW! At least in a few months when games start looking better, I can just upgrade the graphics card instead of missing out or having to buy a whole new machine just to play the next best thing. I've played both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 (yeah, I know a few friends who have them, and the only way to do a proper review is to play both systems), and the PS3 seemed to have better graphics, the Xbox 360 had the better feeling controller. Xbox 360 seems to have more games based on it, but the PS3 can turn around and play the older generation games. Those not wise enough to read the original poster is a guy, well, shows how much brain you have. Zombies would pass you up in hopes of a better meal. To the OP: Throwing the controller was a little extreme, but perhaps you can right this by selling his Xbox and all his games as a way to 'pay off the medical bills', aka: a good way to punish him for stupidity.

Actually, only some of the PS3's can play older games. Sony decided it needed to be ******* stupid and remove backwards compatability because it could.

CoD is for people with no taste in gaming. I recommend any of the Fallout games, or maybe Metro 2033.

I love my xbox and would be pissed if someone did that to me. Although my game of choice is Dragon Age 2. Luckily, my parents live about a 24hr drive from me.
