Nobody likes a sore loser or a ball hog, but sometimes two wrongs don’t make a right.
If nobody plays fair, is playing even fun?
Let’s read on for the details of how these “friends” took to video games to settle a grudge.
So, when I was 16, I had this friend that I hadn’t really talked to in a few years because I had strongly suspected him of stealing an action figure from my younger brother.
Off to a contentious start.
Well, over time, my feelings about this had cooled somewhat.
By the time I reconnected with the friend, I didn’t currently have any other friends, so I figured what the heck.
Thing is, I felt like anything we did was something HE always wanted to do.
Always what he wanted to eat, what he wanted to watch, what he wanted to listen to, always what he wanted to play despite so-called rules about guests.
This was whether I was at his house or he was at mine.
Sounds like a loser, even if he wins at video games.
Well, I got tired of this.
It got to where my prior feelings about him having stolen my brother’s action figure (which he later confirmed he did in fact steal, but at this point it was just a strong suspicion of mine) had started to creep back up.
I decided to do something dastardly.
Can’t wait to hear about it.
I was over at his house one night, and he put this boring military game into his X-Box.
I honestly don’t remember which one it was, as those aren’t my type of game.
After awhile, he put in Halo which I did enjoy playing somewhat.
But then he mentioned having a few matches and going back to the other game.
I was dreading the crap out of this.
This friend doesn’t want to play war games… but he will go to war.
Well, his parents were cooking and hollered to let us know dinner was done.
He went to go get his dinner, and while he was gone, I got the other game out of the case, took a pocket knife, and put a deep cut into the disc from the center on out.
I did so quickly, so I wasn’t too far behind in getting dinner to avoid suspicion.
I put the disc back in the case and went to get dinner.
I came back to his room and we ate, and he got ready to put the game in.
I was a bit nervous but I already had a cover story ready.
Bold move! Everybody knows how much a scratched disc sucks.
He put the game in, turned it on, and the game froze and would not progress past the title screen.
He said, “What the heck?”
I asked him what was wrong and he started to get a little upset, and he kept turning the system on and back off, and never got any further than the title screen.
He took the disc out and looked at it and said, “I don’t understand, it worked before.”
I told him to let me look at it, and I whistled, the one that starts off high and goes low.
Important to note the style of whistle.
I said, “That looks to me like laser burn.”
He asked what that was.
I told him that sometimes lasers in game systems and DVD players can put a line in discs, making them unplayable.
He got mad and said, “What the heck, I loved that game!”
He put his head in his hands, and I patted him on the back to show support.
We played Halo rest of the night, and I reassured him that the same thing won’t happen.
I mean, OP probably isn’t getting a halo for this behavior.
It didn’t.
Didn’t hang out with him after.
This is a confession but also?
Screw you, Jacob.
I mowed yards in the hot humid summer to get that Dragon Ball Z Future Trunks for my baby brother.
But then again, maybe revenge gets you wings?
Let’s check the comments.
This user says the stolen item justifies the vandalism.
Someone else says, unless you recover the stolen loot it doesn’t count.
Another user thinks this was a good big brother move.
Another vote for, the previous theft merits revenge.
This commenter has a DVD pun to add.
Sounds like this big brother was definitely Player One.
No one thinks he went too far!
