Another blog on disc care/how u react to other people not taking care of theirs got me thinking! I keep all my games in their respective cases and try to keep them in a drawer or on the self out of harms way. I don't take a game out unless it's being inserted into the console. I have to preorder everything and pay on them little by little in order to get the newest releases I want. I can't have people ruining them it's not easy for me to replace them. So once I get them it's like pirates booty, ruin them and on the plank you go. I do not plop down 50's in one go, gaming is treat for me, stress reliever, my reward for taking care of business
.
My cute minnion cousins are the worst when it comes to game care they ruined 5 games in one visit, I came home to find the discs on the floor with scratches all over them, looked like they kicked them all around the room to lazy to pick them up. It's the first time I contemplated wringing little necks. Don't worry didn't go through with it, they live to annoy and destroy another day. Your probably thinking why did I leave the minnons alone with my stuff anyway, suck it up. They weren't there when I left.
I'm suprised at the condition I see some people games in and how they just fling them about. Sometimes, I'm the one putting games away when I play at other people houses or I make a comment now and then like "Where's your case man" or "Where does this go". But hey, if they want to throw their money away and feel like popping another $50 down or whatever to replace them, have at it. But if it's my property then it's a different story, total new ball game. I just think you should respect my property. I imagine if I went into someone's house and started ruining dvd's,cd's and game discs they'd be ready to knock my block off.
Gaming other:
I didn't get into gaming again until 2000 when my boyfriend at the time introduced me to the the ps2, my first game was tekken 4 I believe and someone ruined it after I moved back to philly from NJ and I was all sad lol that was my first game, how could ya! Before that the last time I played a game I was little and it was nes. My fave game was contra and I liked anything mario. Mario and the 6 golden coins was the first hand held game I had and that wasn't until 9th grade.
Since then 've been discovering games backwards current games and then the older generation. I got me a nes again a couple of years ago off of ebay it came with 15 games and I just had track me down a copy of Contra (oh the joys of nostalgia). Then I aquired a n64 and sega genesis, sonic, toejam & earl came with it. I used to play sonic at friends houses.
Back on topic:
What's the first game you can remember playing? Anyone ever ruined a game disc/cd/dvd of yours? Or a console? a friend broke my first ps2 the bulky one, got ps2slim much later . Weren't you at least a little peeved?
People say I over reacted hey I didn't hit anyone I just demanded that they respect my property and buy me a new one since they broke it. We all went halfsees no one put in over 15 a piece to replace it with a ps2slim. If a fluke happened and I broke their stuff I'd replace it. When I get my ps3, I 'm not letting anyone near it, if ya wanna play somethin' I'm putting the disc in, that thing is a bigger chunk out my pocket. Don't breathe on it, Don't hover over it, Don't even look at it funny
Now I am over reacting later!
Fave console's/handhelds; Dsi, Wii, Ps2(until I get ps3). What do you prefer?
