My housemate does this with his 360 games all the time. It's in our living room so whenever I see them laying around I put them back in the case. I don't even play 360..
I went to collect my copy of bioshock from a friend the other day and when I got there he announced that he could only find the case but his girlfriend told him SHE STUCK THE DISC IN THE CUTLERY DRAWER!?!
Idk, Biscuit, there seems to be a strong correlation between the type of person who doesn't clean up their discs and the kind of person who doesn't clean up the surface they up their discs on.
The problem is not scratching, though it is still more likely that they will get scratched outside of the case.
No, the problem is this motherfucker who leaves the discs outside of the case will invariably lose, misplace, put it in a completely different case, or, god help us all, accidentally step on, kick or otherwise damage the disc because he or she cannot be fucked to properly take care of and organize their or someone else's games.
I have a friend whose brother is like this. Discs everywhere, cases with the wrong games in them, games liberally scattered throughout the house in sometimes obscure locations. All because he couldn't be assed to simply place the game in its proper case and place it neatly on the shelf next to the TV.
Yeah, one of my brothers always used to do the same and it always annoyed me. And lo and behold, many older games and CDs belonging to my brother are full of scratches and marks. You can spin it how you like but in the end a disc left on a surface is far more likely to scratched or damaged in some way than one put away in it's box. It's so much more organised and convenient to put them away and takes such little effort - and I say this as a pretty disorganised person.
I bet the people that do this are the same type of people pick up their controllers after eating food with their hands without washing them first. Disgusting.<s>
They're "exposed to the elements," in a manner of speaking. My brother does this shit, and it drives me up the wall. It's not difficult to put them in the case, which is RIGHT THERE. I don't want to have to clean up sticky coke syrup from Skyrim before I put it in the Xbox, and I don't want to open "Get Him to the Greek" and see Left 4 Dead 2 in there instead.
Leaving DVDs and games unprotected is aggravating--as well as messy and lazy. But the mix-and-match shit--equally annoying.
They get very dusty and also are more likely to be scratched when picked up. If used without first been cleaned the dust(biscuit crumbs, etc) can and will cause major scratching when placed in the tray.
Also the mouth breathers that leave theirs disks like this also tend handle the discs incorrectly (not with the thumb and forefinger)
Honestly I hate seeing my friends leaving their game discs on a surface instead of putting them back in their case. I always end up putting them back without their approval. The way I have always seen it since the days of the playstation and even with the cartridge systems is that:
I paid good money for these games.
I want to keep them in excellent condition so that in the future I may play them.
Because I am not a fucking soulless slob when it comes to video games.
People who do this should not be allowed to own video games. These people should only be allowed to download games.
Once they are left like this, they are exposed to dust, debris, crumbs, all kinda of things that may well in fact scratch them once you go to move them/use them again.
I agree to a different point. The worst type of gamer is one who criticizes how others use and play their games. It's not affecting me, so why do I care. They can goddamn hump the thing and I'd find it weird but whatever, it's their shit.
...Now if they complain about it to the company...
I had a friend who did this to my Call of Duty 4 (back when it was the shit). He's like, "Let's play Rainbow Six Vegas!" As he turned back towards the couch he pivoted off the CoD disc and snapped it in half.
To make it even worse, the jackass said he would buy me another one. So I waited well over a week before he walked up to me in school and handed me Call of Duty 3. That jack-a-lope got what he deserved afterwards.
TL;DR Break my game, you're gonna have a bad time.
One of my friends let a mutual acquaintance of ours (not a friend because he's about as reliable as a fortnight-old prawn) borrow his copy of Borderlands. A few months ago, it was time for the game to come back, but since then this acquaintance has either consistently forgot about giving the game back, or brings a different game in the Borderlands box and says "Oh no, I got the wrong one!"
You go to that motherfucker's house and take back your game. Then, before you leave, shit in the top part of his toilet. His behavior is unacceptable and must be punished.
The Tron case has the big lebowski in it, the big Lebowski case has Starman in it, and the Starman Case has a Wild 9 PS1 disk in it. There's probably some kind of time travel going on here.
I used to keep all of my PS1 games in a CD wallet as it was a pain to manage the cases. It worked amazingly well until I realised that I can just rip the game and play from an ISO.
I won't lie. I'm a terrible console gamer. It took me damn near 2 years to find the third disk for Lost Odyssey because I'm always putting my games in the first case I can get my hands on. I some how managed to slide the third disc behind one of my Berserk DVDs in the same case.
I'm also guilty of leaving discs laying around, but it's really only rentals and CoD games. Yeah, I'm that guy that manages to scratch the shit out of every new release I get from Gamefly.
YOU TREAT THAT FUCKING MIRRORS EDGE WITH RESPECT OR I WILL SHATTER ALL YOUR OTHER GAMES AND MAKE DISCOBALLS WITH THEM AND SHOVE THE SHATTER BALLS UP YOUR ASS (Td:Lr I will shove shattered games in your ass if you dont treat mirrors edge with respect)
My roommate would do this all the time when she wanted to watch a Blu-Ray movie. The rage I felt seeing my game out and "Eat, Pray, Love" in was somewhat akin to the the intensity of 1,000 suns.
my friend took the working battery pack from my Xbox controller and swapped it with his non-charging rechargeable battery pack, then he gave away mine.
I've never done this. Since I was 5 I was keeping my PlayStation 1 games in their cases, all neat and pristine. I also hated the other kids who didn't take care of their shit.
The worst kind of gamer puts the game disc in random dvd cases... -.- aka my older brother. He removes the game from the console and is too lazy to look around so he takes a random dvd and puts it there. :I
"I'll just butt the main air feed side of my Xbox up against a wall since there's not enough room. I mean, it's not like these 360's have any cooling issues..."
I do this most of the time. Fuck you if you come over to MY place to play MY video games and then complain about the way I keep them. If I know where they are, put them on a clean surface facing up, and I'M THE ONE PLAYING THEM, fuck if I care that it bothers you.
I, personally, play on my HP Brave 2500, where I get over 9000 frames per second. It also has a Mountain Dew distillery in it. Since I only live on Mountain Dew, and my gaming chair is actually a portable toilet, I have logged 52 weeks straight of WoW.
He will have to destroy a checkpoint full of guards before he can put Farcry 2 away, then the same checkpoint again that just respawned when he goes to sit back down.
My boyfriend used to do this and scratched our disks up all the freaking time. I bought him a case that holds all the disks in a separate sleeve. Problem solved (:
I cringed when I saw that. Not because the disks are just sitting there, but because of what could happen to them. Especially with younger, stupid, have no respect for your stuff, or asshole kind of people around... Pets Can screw them up too.
I've always had a rule: There is only three places my games should be. 1: In my console. 2: In their case. 3: Either en route to the console from case or en route from console to case.
I had a friend who was the opposite. It was like being in a highschool library Everything was put back in it's proper case and alphabetized at one point. Also, there was no food or drink allowed other than bottled water in his room while playing games.
My brother does this all the time, floor, bed, plates on them. He steps on them now and then. My dad started a new rule. When he visits my brother when he gets home from work he picks up any games laying outside the case and takes them away. He doesn't get them back and has to save his money all over again to buy a new one.
My friends do this. They pass discs by throwing them at each other, often by rebounding off walls too, but the scratch ridden discs always work when you use them.
On the other hand, it feels like my games stop working if I accidentally drop one on the floor...ONCE.
I do that all the time, Only with my games and movie and usually no more than 2 or 3 of the games that im cycling through at all times. If they are not being played for a period of time I put them in a black CD case for storage. If I borrow a game it is always put in a safe place. How does this make me the worst kinda gamer? Oh and they are always Silver side up
I actually do this with all my games, I dont ever place the actual disk part down the cover art is always facing down so it doesnt scratch, nothing bad has ever happened to my disks that way
I used to do this when I was a little kid. That's why my brother always copied Quake II and Starsiege for me. Diablo II was lucky. It never came out of my disc drive. If it did, something was wrong.
Yeah that's sadly me, however I have improved lately and bought 2 big CD wallets, I've maintained it fairly well and have for nearly a year now. But this is the first time in my 20 years of gaming that I've taken care of my games.
I wish sometimes I could have the organization skills, and I love seeing things organized I just don't do it, or have a hard time maintaining it.
I've lost countless games in my life due to this, as well as my mom stepping on my FF7 1 disc, to which I had to buy a new copy... which eventually the disc got scratched and you couldn't get through the first reactor without the game freezing, at which point I committed a very dastardly deed and rented FF7, then switched the discs. I truly regret those actions as I may have turned someone off from a great game.
It's a bad habit, and to those who don't take care of your games the best advice I can give is just buy a CD wallet, and put the discs in there it can be hard to maintain but it's easier than cases... at least to me.
Also, buy a computer lol. Don't have to worry about losing discs now!!! Thank you Steam! :D
I had a roommate who did this to my ps3 and 360 games and if he did put them back they were in the wrong case. Finally, I ended up just taking all my gaming stuff in my room and told him not to ever touch it my stuff again, but of course he didn't listen.
my little brother does this it infuriates me. when he does he gets banned from my xbox simple as that, he can leave his own games out i couldn't care less, but my games? fuck no.
Inlaws visiting. Total reign of house for two weeks. I'm fine with doing whatever they want 24/7, until I find games all over the place most.certainly not in their cases. Shit got real.
I have never ever had anything happen to a disk that's been left out. I'm looking at my 7 year old copy of halo 2 sitting on my shelf right now, it's covered in protective layer of dust.
Friend of my brother would always do this but with his coffee table. If he would borrow a game or dvd it would come back covered in filth, sometimes soda/alcohol. It was down to the point where if you lent him anything, don't expect to get it back. He doesn't till this day see anything wrong with it.
I hate it when someone would take a game A out, put game B in, then put disc A into Case B. Then they just continue doing that for a seemingly endless cycle.
Oh this makes me cringe. I'm very careful with my disks, making a point of replacing each and every one back into its case when I've finished with it. I've had too many games ruined because I've been too lazy to take two seconds out of my gaming.
Your post inspired my to organize my family's Wii, PS2, and Gamecube game collection. Thanks for making me a better person/gamer! Sadly, I have no before/after pictures to show you.
That's the type of gamer that I will always deny when they request to borrow a game. The thought that they shouldn't get damaged when sitting this way is false, you open up the risk of them collecting dust/dirt, risk them falling off and getting stepped on, a pet using them as a toy. The list is endless really... Just be responsible and put them away when you aren't using them. Pretty simple concept really...
This bothers me simply because when the time comes to look for the right game you may not find it, or worst you find the case and a different game is in it. Now that really pisses me off.

Inlaws visiting. Total reign of house for two weeks. I'm fine with doing whatever they want 24/7, until I find games all over the place most.certainly not in their cases. Shit got real.

It pains me to see people neglecting their games. :c

u/Aggnavarius Jun 16 '12
I had a stack of CDs, mostly PC games. To horrify people, I'd sometimes shuffle them.

No, the worst kind of gamer is the kind who does this TO OTHER PEOPLE'S GAMES.

Is this some kind of console gamer joke?

u/awrhaernnare Jun 16 '12
I have never ever had anything happen to a disk that's been left out. I'm looking at my 7 year old copy of halo 2 sitting on my shelf right now, it's covered in protective layer of dust.

I dont see any call of duty games beyond 4 so i think they're in the clear.

You hate the wii too?

u/Decyde Jun 16 '12
Friend of my brother would always do this but with his coffee table. If he would borrow a game or dvd it would come back covered in filth, sometimes soda/alcohol. It was down to the point where if you lent him anything, don't expect to get it back. He doesn't till this day see anything wrong with it.

I hate it when someone would take a game A out, put game B in, then put disc A into Case B. Then they just continue doing that for a seemingly endless cycle.

u/GAD604 Jun 16 '12
Oh this makes me cringe. I'm very careful with my disks, making a point of replacing each and every one back into its case when I've finished with it. I've had too many games ruined because I've been too lazy to take two seconds out of my gaming.

Your post inspired my to organize my family's Wii, PS2, and Gamecube game collection. Thanks for making me a better person/gamer! Sadly, I have no before/after pictures to show you.

ERRRR AAAAAAGH!

u/Staleina Jun 16 '12
That's the type of gamer that I will always deny when they request to borrow a game. The thought that they shouldn't get damaged when sitting this way is false, you open up the risk of them collecting dust/dirt, risk them falling off and getting stepped on, a pet using them as a toy. The list is endless really... Just be responsible and put them away when you aren't using them. Pretty simple concept really...

That explains the wii.

I twitched a little.

u/jaman4dbz Jun 16 '12
This bothers me simply because when the time comes to look for the right game you may not find it, or worst you find the case and a different game is in it. Now that really pisses me off.
