Thread: How do you destroy an old console or game?

    Default How do you destroy an old console or game?

    How would you destroy an old console or game thats broken and useless. Maybe it was a failure in the market. Maybe it was the console or game that started the video games crash in 1983!

    I would use a chainsaw to cut in half, then smash both pieces with a hammer, then eat it for dinner, then vomit it out and throw it over the fence to the neighbours!

    Kinda pointless to just destroy something. You can repurpose it and make something interesting. Like pull all the guts out of an old system, drill a hole in it and attach a clock mechanism. You're out $2 maybe for the clock parts, and you have something interesting to hang on your wall.
    *PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here

    Me too. To science, but only after I die obviously.

    If I really wanted to destroy my vital organs though, for whatever reason, I'd probably keep getting hit in the head by heavy bags. The x-ray apparently showed that I didn't manage to get anything destroyed this time, but just you wait, body.

    Oh, right, a console? I'd... pee all over it?

    completely recolor it so that it looks even worse than it already does, and then throw it down a cliff, drive to the bottom of the cliff, then practice horrible c-rate explosives within a canister of gasoline, and then take the remains to feed to rabid koalas, only to ignite their poop once again to MAKE SURE it got destroyed. I don't really see myself destroying a system though ^.^.

    No some of us just had an extremely crappy day when they replied to that ... Something had to feel my wrath and nothing was nearby so I was left to my imagination. I'm all better now though.

    Buy a remote control airplane, drive to Arizona, go to the Grand Canyon, attach the console to the remote control airplane with a connection that will release it at will, fly the remote controlled plane with said console over the Grand Canyon, then drop it in there.

    I'd probably keep it. Game stores give fuck all for trade in's anyway.

    I would never destroy an old console or game just to do it. It doesn't feel right to kick it when it's dead. After all, it gave many hours of entertainment and joy to someone.

    If I were to destroy a console, I would probably upload a video of it in slowmotion and upload it to youtube to gain some small profit through monetization.

    so i take it you are from the future and you had an xbox 1 and you are now describing what you did to it?

    in all seriousness, i would just gut the system and leave it in a public area and watch to see if someone picks it up lol
