The Brymstone Controller Scale

I'm a very opinionated person I also happen to be a Gamer.
Some might say not a good combination in a person who likes to throw things. So I've come up with a rating system based on how I play games.

The Brymstone Controller Scale.

Simply put the scale works like this: I ask myself these three questions
1. How many times did I throw my controller?
2. How hard did I throw my controller?
IE* Did I have to buy a new one or just fix it?
If I had to buy a new one +5
If I just fixed it -5
3. Did I take a hammer to the game or the system itself?
If No 0
If it was the game +10
If it was the system +Infinity
This lets me gage my frustration with the game and express it to you.
Then I score it based on the answers to those questions and add one point to the final score just to be fair.

So an Example
Playing Halo 2 on legendary by myself
1.27
2.Yes I had to fix it 5 times Good old Xbox controllers
3.No
So I threw my controller 27 times but fixed it 5 times and didn't have to buy a new one.
5x5=25
Take that then add or subtract as applies.
27-25=2
Then because I didn't kill the game disc or the system no adjustment
Final Tally being 2
and add 1 to be fair and we get?
Final Score a 3 on The Brymstone Controller Scale.
