I haven't personaly, but my little brother chewed the rubber off of the thumbsticks of my PS2 controler whenever "the game was cheating". he was 8 he just sucked at gaming. He ended up buying me 3 new controllers with his birthday money though, he just kept going through them
lol reminds me of when the rubber was partially coming off my ps2 controller. i said the heck with it and chewed the buggers off. kinda regret doing it though.
I was playing goldeneye on the N64 during a thunderstorm and the power went on and off 2 times.. after that my memory card was unuseable, it wouldnt retain data for an extended period of time.
