My friend came in our shop today, clutching a box and grinning. He opened it to reveal the contents - a crystal Xbox with pad. Its price label (£40 IIRC) revealed its source to be GAME. He told us that he had swapped in a load of scratched up games that we wouldn't take, and got this. Pretty nice! He wanted to sell it to us, but unfortunately we weren't buying Xboxes as we have too many at present. He then tried to take it back to GAME, who refused to take it at all (even for the £18 or whatever it is they usually offer cash-wise). I didn't realise that he'd been to them, or that they had refused to take it back, until I heard a huge bang on the stairs. He had launched it down our stairs! Remarkably, the Xbox looked relatively inract... so he picked it up and bounced it off the floor a few times :-( The stupid thing is, we had tested it and it was fully working!
OH: No matter what the situation, I HATE to see people damaging things. It might be partly down to my upbringing, but I'd prefer to just give an item away rather than destroy it. Shame! Those crystal editions are pretty cool.
What an asshat ! If you are going to destroy something then at least do it in a comical way for others to see. Yakumo
I seem to recall someone I know using an N64 and an old Gameboy as "Baseballs" and hitting them in mid-air with a baseball bat.
What a dickhead! specially since an Xbox is perfect for what I call "EXTREME DONATIONS". For this kind of "humanitarian help" you need bigass, heavy stuff, like old computers, CRT monitors, dot matrix printers, TVs and big consoles that arent rare (like, you wouldnt donate a NeoGeo). The point is going to the place in question and giving the object away in an extreme fashion, like when I found this WANG computer on my uncle's house, so I decided to go to my former school and made an extreme donation by smashing that piece of crap against my principal's windshield:dance: Too bad I wasnt in school at the time, cuz all the kids thought I was the coolest guy ever... Back with that dickhead, he could've smashed the Xbox into the car of that GAME employee that didnt took it back:lol:
Eh, that's not cool dude. That's criminal activity. Smashing up an XBox is one thing, but throwing something at a man's car is not a funny act at all.
Look I'm not the kind of guy who mess with teachers and such (actually most of them always considered me a nice guy) but this principal totally deserved to get his windshield smashed...
Unless he was a paedo or dealing drugs to kids, I can't see reason to do something like that. Giving you a detention or something because you were mouthing off in class for example wouldn't be "reasonable" grounds to fuck with his car.
Are you guys serious? I mean, have any of you seen one those computers? and I'm not talking about the terminals no sir, and those werent lightweight either. Of course I'm joking man! I can berely lift that shit, let alone carrying it all the way to my car, then trowing it against a windshield, dammit. I thought it was obvious it was a joke with the constant use of the word extreme, like if this was a Myspace sk8ter account... Next time I'm posting a big "WARNING: JOKE IN COURSE" sign for those who have any doubts.
Virtual Alam: Actually, no! I was hoovering the other day and found a loada huge splinters that came out of the skirting where it impacted! Shadowlayer: So you're telling us you got your wang out and tossed it at your principal's car? Ooh er!
Radical, dude! Er... I mean, that's very satisfactory. Back to the guy who destroyed his Xbox, that reminds me of how my cousin destroyed like five PS2 controllers while playing VF4 because he kept getting pissed off at me and/or the computer. That, on the other hand, was funny.
