Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well today felt crappy for reasons, and one of those reasons showed it's ugly head. My younger sibling had a b***h fit. He was punched because his twin thought he was mooning him and was told to go hook up the snes for a guest. All this while suffering from some bad leg cramp. The reaction was he screamed about it, went over and threw it on the floor. The bottom is gone and some chips broke off from the system. In lighternews the eject thing still works.

I learned something today, I'm more mature then I thought about the whole ordeal. Though next time if something of mine is broken like that, I'll be pummeling him. "GEARS OF WAR 2 style"

It had a good run, rescued from the pawn shop for my 8th birthday. Died 11 years later, about to serve someone joyous entertainment.

~ Systems or handhelds you've lost

for handhelds:

My old gameboy
A gameboy color
My retro edition SP

Why am I more shocked reading about the treatment of your SNES than I would be reading about a brutal murder? neutral

I have an SNES that got kidnapped, a 64 that got old and died, and a Gameboy Color that mysteriously disappeared.

I'm a b***h to many of my consoles.... and they all work fine.

Lessee, I've never had any problems with my Atari, NES, N64, GameCube, or GBA. The reset button died on my Genesis, but that works fine otherwise. The disc drive on my Wii started to wear out, but I had it fixed before it really went. For a while I lost my GBC to a sticky cartridge being put in the slot, but once I got my console screwdriver set, I cleaned out the sticky cartridge slots on both mine and my sister's GBCs and her GBA, so those are good again. The power switch on my SP is kinda weird these days, so it can be kinda touchy. And I cracked the top screen on my DS and have yet to have it fixed. So no permanent deaths yet, luckily. I do have my cousin's bricked 360 in my closet, though. Also, I've had two cartridge deaths. Pokemon Crystal (replaced when my friend gave me his copy) and Pokemon TCG (never replaced). And I lost my GameCube memory card 1019, along with the save files on it for Metroid Prime and Pokemon XD. Managed to rescue all the other saves to a new card, though.

My systems work pretty fine. One of my N64 controllers won't work, the joystick is stuck, (too much mario party mini-games that required spinning the joystick) and the little memory card that you put into the back to play games like Duke Nukem 64 doesn't work. that's a pity, duke nukem is one of my favorite N64 games to play too.

Jeez, people didn't you know that the RRoD is an effect of mistreatment to the console? rolleyes

Same, some a*****e stole my GameBoy Color in elementary school. I think he took it out of my backpack after school. It was an aqua GBC, with Pokemon Blue version inside. I was really pissed.
