I crash my keyboard in every half year, when it becomes too dirty and unresponsive. The key which fucks up for the first time is always my right CTRL->Turning in elma... So I can say i destroy my kb because of elma

My keyboard only cost Â£10 and it managed to survive quite a few punches.
Same with my mouse, I won it on CokeAuction about a year and a half ago and its still fine! Strange how such cheap stuff can be so resistant!

You're right. You're crazy. I'll crush mine a day, get so angry sometimes (especially when I die at the Laby Pro end

) ,smacking my keyboard to death!

John · Post by **John** » 26 Aug 2004, 23:11

never broken anything cuz of frustration from elma, Im ez calm guy

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 27 Aug 2004, 00:24

i break stuff all the time, i get a terrible temper with elma

CD cases, a glass of water once, punching walls too

jaytea has witnessed it, i shook his wardrobe so hard that books flew off one time

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 27 Aug 2004, 00:32

hehe, I broke some miniature car (1:35) down in one day computing to 30 pieces with bare hands. All metal is twisted, broken and torned off. The rubber wheels are pulled off and the plastic seats & stuff are flat-stamped.

Also my table is crushed and penetrated with my ballpoint to dead and looks like there has been some woodeatinginsectrush there. The funniest thing however is, that this wasn't the frustation coming out of elma, but more out of my OS and it's bugs. (Illegal Operation Error: 0x000000, or: xxxxx.dll was not found!) Fucking slow internet makes me very mad too.
I pay for 120 kB/s, so I am not satisfied with 20 kB/s!1

GODDAMNIT!

elma can't make me angry..

i've never broken anything only keys are slowly breaking, but not because of hard punch..

Broke one keyboard, not so much, but some of the keys was not so good anymore.

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 27 Aug 2004, 22:51

How can you possibly crash your keyboard... ?

You have to be some really NOT calm guy

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 28 Aug 2004, 18:12

He, I would love to see that!

John · Post by **John** » 28 Aug 2004, 20:54

I cant really understand how u could get so mad over elma that u break stuff, if I fuck up something in elma I just think "Fan" (swedish for damn) and then mayb I check rec to see if it really was a good run that I just fucked up or not. If it was good run Ill check what I did good in that run and mayb even save rec to be able to see it later. After that I just start another run and hopefully I beat my time later.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 6 Sep 2004, 06:33

exactly. But I won't travel that much to break him, although I would do it when he stood right next to me.

Ok, it is not elma making me break stuff, but I and david ones played on Defenser his keyboard and that keyboard sucks hard. It was that keyboard what get us mad. Even chatting in msn or normal typing was almost impossible and Deferser was just saying, oh I have no problems with it. So we decided to smash it, so he had to change the broken keyboard with a better one (since there don't exist worse ones). Fuck that keyboard.

Elma is really harmful for keyboard. I proved it with my KeyTronic.

Pic from rubber mat under the keys (broken key is surprisingly 'arrow up'):

Keyboard was at use about 2 years I think.

nah, you don't have to smash it, i never did that, but if you push hard for a long time (years) some buttons wimply get broken if keyboard sux

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 16 Jun 2006, 21:33

i broke my space button, but not only by playing elma... i'm quite calm too, when i played some level for 5 hours i maybe shout, but i never would brake a keyboard o_O

jonsterion · Post by **jonsterion** » 20 Jun 2006, 15:14

Never broke anything... just punch the table from times to times.

niN · Post by **niN** » 7 Oct 2006, 16:19

Kale · Post by **Kale** » 17 Jan 2007, 18:23

I have never broken anything playing elma. When i fuck up a good drive i always punch the table so hard that it hurts but nothing gets broken.

niN · Post by **niN** » 19 Jul 2007, 18:40

maybe shouldn't write this here but...

A couple'o months ago I played a match and this guy kicked my in the upper leg. at first it just hurt like hell - I didn't think anything dangerous had happened. One month after the incident a big lump appears on the exact location of where the hit was placed. This lump keeps getting bigger and it crawls up my leg like a giant bug. By now I was getting worried and payed the doctors a visit.. Took me ages to get a time (them fuckin' arseholes! hate them!), but after some while this guy tells me: "It looks as though if your muscle is coming off. It's crawling it's way up your leg because it isn't attached anymore. The impact broke your muscle". That lemon head didn't tell me what to do about it. He said: "that's not my area, we'll send these pictures to your doctor and then he'll phone you and tell you what to do".

I still haven't gotten a reply from the doctors and I'm getting more and more worried... I'm a football player and my future was looking good untill this impact. I'm really worried that this might fuck up my whole football future...

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 19 Jul 2007, 18:51

it crawls up your legs

where's is it now? up to your knee?
I'd personnaly rush to the hospital if that happenned to me. Some shit moving under my skin (even if it's a muscle, it cannot be good).

niN · Post by **niN** » 19 Jul 2007, 18:55

well the muscle normally is attached to the knee. But mine lost grip due to the impact so now that muscle has crawled into a ball, and it's headed upwards...

I did go to the hospital but them ****heads working there aren't exactly quick if you know what I mean...

The_BoneLESS · Post by **The_BoneLESS** » 19 Jul 2007, 19:11

tricks get treated faster in hospital (i tested out one, my brother the other, should work):

1. Enter the reception bleeding(this can be more tricky, and you still might wait)
2. Faint (they can't leave you lying on the floor, i fainted once, passed right away)

niN · Post by **niN** » 19 Jul 2007, 19:22

nice

. Se, my problem isnt that. the problem is to get a reservation. They say: "We'll call sometime this week".

one month later...

RIINNNG "healoh, local hospitael shait here?" my mom "yes hello, you haven't called us yet...?" [...]

But I'll try them out if they never let me inside the operation room

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 20 Jul 2007, 12:33
