i need your advice

[blindsnyper]

ok so, i brother is unemployed and has been living with me for about 4.5 months. our other brother has been paying for an xbox live account for him, he has logs 6-8 (sometimes more) hours a day on MW2. he is to the point that if he has a bad game (more than 3-5 deaths per match) he gets irrate and starts punching the coffee table and throwing my controller. this happens almost EVERY game i see him play.

with that being said, how can i ruin the disc without it being noticable???

and i cant just say something to him because it will take me kicking him out of the house, no less. and i WILL NOT do that!!

thanks for listening and any advice.

Do you have the older 360? If so, scratch the disc slightly. The older console had a known issue with disc-scratching.

[blindsnyper]

i think i have the newer one, but im not sure. i have never had an issue with scratches in the past though.

[ProudNissanFreak]

Yeah, not everyone did, but it was a known issue. By older one, I mean any of these:

360s did not have any issue with "disc-scratching"

Pre-2009 models had a common problem with unreliable dvd drives, that would go out and need replacement.

...however... if you pick up and move/tilt the console while the disc is spinning, it will leave a deep (noticeable) circular scratch around the disc. this is with any console, new or old.

don't you think your brother will just buy a new game eventually? just get the internet shut off until he gets a job. quit paying for anything other than food and necessities, he will get bored of sitting around after a bit.

If he gets that angry over dying a few times during a round of MW2, what do you think his reaction will be when he sits down to play and it doesn't work???

Dude, he's your brother. Just be straight up with him. "Bro, can you ease up on my coffee table and controller? Appreciate it, thanks." No need to ruin a perfectly good game.

Like I said, it was not a known major issue, but it was there.

"Lose" it temporarily?

how old is this brother???

tell the punk to calm the frick down. its your house, you have the ability to make rules, just say it nicely.

[eds13]

or better yet, gimmie his gamertag, i'll tell him

[xekushnr]

I dont want to come off sounding like a d!ck, but why not grow a spine and just tell him instead of destroying something yourself? If it were my table and my controller, I would definitely have something to say. Why do you just let him do it? Are you afraid of him or something? Just tell him next time he does it that if he doesnt calm the f*** down he doesnt have permission to use your system. And if he continues to do it, go throw something of his and he should get the point. At least you will have warned him first instead of secretly tiptoeing around the problem.

Plus, if he's a real MW2 addict, even without a job and money he will find SOME WAY to get a new copy.

P.S., why am I the first one to recommend this?

[Mr1der]

I'm with ^^^

I'd slap the s*** outta my brother when he did that stuff because he got his a** kicked at Mortal Kombat.

[alms24sebring]

I just picture him screaming at the TV at the top of his lungs like FUUUUUUUU, smashing stuff lol.

Thats stupid too, so he gets pissed bc hes f'ing 30-5. That steaming bullcrap and that piises ME off.

Moving it while playing it sounds good. Its a temporary relief atleast. Glad Im a PS3 fanboy cuz these problems dont exist in our world.

Just a side note MW2 pisses me off too but only when Im like 3-22 by some faghole campers and mfs that seriously play it 24/7 They know all the spots to make some impossible kills from across the levels and stay there. AAAHHHHH!!

[Mr1der]

seriously. stuff like that is how you get your head kicked out of a chair.
