Have you noticed that when you look around at your gaming collection, the game cases/boxes take up a whopping amount of space and have no real use other than collecting dust until you decide that you'll play that game thats been sat there since the wheel was invented and became more fun. Over the years I've noticed that the casing that games are supplied in follow that of the tale of the Three Little Pigs!
The first little pig decided to make his house out of the Cardboard boxes that all his Gameboy and old Gamegear games were supplied in. He set to work building his house day and night in 7 days with all 800 of his game boxes, and an extra large Prit-Stick. Once finished his house was a glorious sight for all to behold, however the big bad wolf was approaching, so the little pig ran inside. The big bad wolf knocked on the cardboard door whilst rapping
Wolf - "Yo little pig little pig let me in"
Pig - "Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin"
Wolf - "Well i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your game case house in"
So he huffed....sneezed and the 1st little pig became a nice side order to the wolfs fry up.
The second little pig decided to make his house out of all his Megadrive and PS1 game cases. So he started to build his house day and night for two weeks (Their ridges made them fiddly little so and so's) with his 600 games and a large roll of selotape. Once the second pigs house was finished it would reflect the light in all directions thanks to the shinny game case surfaces. This made it into a beacon of some sort and it wasn't long before the big bad wolf was hungry again. He followed the light before arriving at the second little pigs house.
Wolf - "Yo little pig little pig let me in"
Pig - "Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin"
Wolf - "Well i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your game case house in"
So he huffed....lent on the house....it fell over and the 2nd little pig became a nice bacon sarnie
The third little pig however was more up with the new technology of the gaming world and decided to build his house from 400 of his PS2 and X-Box game cases and an industrial size stapler. Once the house was fully built it looked like a building 100 years ahead of it's time, and many people started to worship it as though it was from another planet. Inevitably the big bad wolf became hungry again and decided to investigate this 'modern' looking building. When he arrived he could already smell pork sausages, a pork joint and some bacon on the horizon, so he started to shout....
Wolf - "Yo little pig little pig let me in"
Pig - "Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin"
Wolf - "Well i'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your game case house in"
So he huffed....and before he could puff the third little pig opened a game case up to get out Rocky to practice on before taking on the big bad wolf and his house fell down....the 3rd little pig soon became part of a nice sunday roast.
In conclusion your game cases should never be used to build a house, no matter how many of the blighters you have. However surely they could be put to better use other than just sitting on your shelf. Lets see them turned into large lego pieces, or a joint of a transformer...you need GTA for the body, WWE for a leg etc etc. This would ultimately help sell more games (Work with me here) as kids would want to complete that life sized model of nessie, and so would buy all the games needed....well it's a better idea than them collecting dust or being used as coasters!
