"Bored of your games?"

What do you do when you've played all your games to death? Trade them in for more? Keep them and build a library? swap them with your mates?

There is another way. You can destroy them. Completely wreck your games in a novelty fasion. A silly idea you amy think, and you'd be right. But here are some suggestions anyway.

1. The bludgen. requirements - Hammer.
This technique is best when the cartridge is flat on a hard surface. One single blow should suffice in making the game unplayable, a few more will completely annhialate it.
Carnage Rating - 95%

2. The Mafia body-hide. requirements - a nearby river.
Electrical systems are very bad with water, though unless your cart has a battery backup, you can allways dry out the cartridge and use again. CDs will not be harmed at all, unless they are attacked by fish.
Carnage Rating - 11%

3. The David Copperfield. - Requirements - Tower shelf unit, chainsaw.
Stack your games onto the shelf, preferably a tall standing unit that is wide enough to hold a game flat. From the top, run the chainsaw straight down through the middle of the games downwards at high revs, slicing the contents in half. One attempt should suffice, though goggles are recommended.
Carnage Rating - 98%

4. Flamin 'ell!. - Requirements - Lighter fluid, matches.
Douse your games in the lighter fluid, stand well back and flick matches in the way you did at school towards the games. Beware of the fules from the melting plastic.
Carnage Rating - 73% (lost points on the environmental issues)

5. Child abuse. - Requirements - a baby.
Toddlers have a habit of banging things on tables and shoving them in their mouths. Carts are pretty tough items, so will probably withstand this abuse. Expect a cd based game to incur stratches.
Carnage Rating: 19%

6. The car park crusher. - Requirements - a car, a small stone.
Running a car over a game will not do much damage due to the soft tyres. By placing a stone under the centre of the game should be enough to cause the game to snap in half under the weight of the vehicle.
Carnage Rating: 25 to 76% depending on vehicle used.

7. You lookin' at me?. - Requirements - a gun.
place game sagely in the grip of a tabletop vice, and aim the gun directly at the centre of the cart. (slightly off-centre for a cd). Pull the trigger. Again, wear goggles.
Carnage Rating: 89%

8. The grind. - Requirements - a skateboard.
Sellotape a cd to the underside of your deck, then grind a handrail. This should invole major scratching, depending on the rails surface quality.
Carnage rating: 31% more likely to hurt yourself.

9. The lassoo. - Requirements - a length of string.
Attatch your game to the eng of the string, and swing above your head Olympic hammer style. Release the projectile into a nearby wall. Might require more than one attempt, but wil get there in the end.
Carnage Rating: 66%

10. Toasted! - Requirements - a toaster.
Insert your game into a toaster and turn it on to burn. Warning: Fire hazard.
Carnage Rating: 82% lost marks of potential burning down of house.

11. Anyone for golf? - Requirements - a golf club, a tee.
Place your game on the tee, and strike with the club. Remember to shout "Fore!"
Carnage Rating: 70 to 90% depending on your golfing prowess.

12. Destruction derby. - Requirements - an old ford cortina.
Attatch the game to the front of your cortina, and go banger racing. Be sure to attatch the game securely, to maximise damage.
Carnage rating, 81%

An incentive to us all. Feel free to try any of these, or adapt them to your situation with whatever tools you have available. The game companies will not mind, a game destroyed is still a game sold.

If you've got an old microwave, put the cd in it, turn on full power, and watch the show begin. You get mini lightning. But be warned! It will reck the microwave!!!

lol

I have on several occasions left games that have virtually no part-exchange value in telephone boxes - just to give the person who finds them a cheap thrill.

I dont get bored of my games - When I complete one I just put it aside and forget about it for a few months!!

Well dispite the very funny nature of this topic I am actually going to turn it on its head and post something serious for once :P

When I get bored of my games, very soon after buying them normally I tend to try and swap them with my friends. Trading is something i never do because I like to see a nice big stack of games by my console.

What tends to happen is this:

Somehow get money for game.
Buy game
Walk home
Stick game in slot/CD drive
Lose all my friends
Complete game
Emerge from room with a tan from the screen
Play multiplayer with friends (forgiven me now)
Whoop friends for a few weeks/days
Get BORED
Try to think of what to do
Decide that we need a new game to play
Look in wallet
Cry................

When I get bored of my games I get bored of gaming. I tend to stop playing games for a while as I know I am not going to be able to afford another game for a while due to being broke and then turn my thoughts to up and coming consoles. Then I look at the calendar, still a while till the GAMECUBE is released, still not enugh money for a Ps2. I am stuck........

But recently, my N64 has become a dust ridden machine. Since the flow (sort of) of games has run dry I have lost more and more interest in it. Thouroughly looking forward to the GAMECUBE, my dad comes home with a new PC. Great I think, online gaming here I come. One problem, I have a 56k modem running through AOL. My ping time ruins all of my online dreams. But now the good news, I get broadband next week and things can only get better.

As of the minute my dad came through that door with the new PC in tow my love of games has returned to me with such titles as Half Life, Max Payne and Deus Ex gracing my hard drive. Now I eagerly await Return to Castle Wolfenstein and not just GAMECUBE games. It has given me a new dimension to my games playing. The N64 is now old hat and I need more, I need FMV I need online gaming, I need brilliant games.

Now of course the N64 has brilliant games, but just not at this moment in time which is when I need them. The PC does though. But I fear by the time the GAMECUBE comes out my new PC will be running the latest games at below par levels due to it needing to be upgraded quite a lot.

This is why I love consoles. They don't need upgrading, yet. All they need is you buying a new console every couple of years. Now this i don't mind, but what I do mind is companies who stop making games way before the newer console is released. It makes people lose interest just like me with the N64.

Nintendo should learn from this and make sure that GAMECUBE games are being released all the way up to the GAMECUBEs demise....which will hopefully not be for quite a few years after its release.
