StingingVelvet: An ex egged my car after I broke up with her. That was amusing.
I wish I had the money to find having to take my car to the car wash, amusing.

tinyE: The problem is in SMC they give you the current value. He pays $30 for Quake 2 and several years later his lady destroys the cd he gets the current value of Quake 2; maybe $5?
That is so unfair. He should get back the $ he spent on those games.

BlueMooner: While it's small consolation, be glad it wasn't his dick. There seem to be more and more stories of females who feel justified, for whatever reason, in cutting off their man's penis.

Disk copies and cloud backup reduce this to nothing more than some broken plastic. I hope he made those copies.

nightrunner227: those were all Xbox 360 games, which can't be booted from a backup disc as far as I know. Also, anyone else get the feeling the writer was a girl who enjoyed the idea an who just stuck small- claims case to the end in order to make it sound unbiased?
Most likely what you just wrote here is the truth.

Elenarie: If you're going digital to avoid your games being destroyed by your girlfriend or ex girlfriend... forget the stupid games, you have serious issues.

jamyskis: This. I would say that the girlfriend is more in need of replacement than the games.

My girlfriend is a 'casual' gamer in the most literal sense of the word. She got together with me in full knowledge of the fact that I'm a gamer. She accepts it. I must say for my part that I do make an effort in our relationship, which it sounds this guy didn't, but I know I can trust my girl to not pull off childish shit like this guy's girl did.
You never really know what kind of person the woman you are with is...until she becomes extremely unhappy. I learned that lesson, the hard way. One should always go digital or lock up his stuff.

When my first marriage broke up, I came home from work to find my entire collection of Games Workshop games & models (in excess of £2000 value) forming the pinnacle of a bonfire in the garden…..

Grargar: Ouch, that sucks. It is important to have balance in a relationship. If one gets so angry to reach that point when he/she can't control what the other can do, then this relationship might not have been the best. And I doubt that going digital would help too much. Accounts can always be deleted, or at the very least, passwords can be changed.
You should never share your passwords with anyone... And you shouldn't let others have access to your machine.
If you take those two sentences seriously, your digital stuff is very safe unless you do a lot of high risk things with your internet connection.

Andanzas: You guys don't know what happened. He said: "I am going to sell all of this to buy an Xbox One." She had no choice.
LOL, that was funny. Not being sarcastic.

Well I hope she or he went to prison for doing such a thing. 2000 pounds is a lot of fucking money. I don't think being married gives you a license to destroy husband's or wife's possessions.

I love how the author clearly blames the guy and acts like he's a piece of shit when he's the victim.
Damn, if 16 games is a "comprehensive video game collection" and makes it an "obsessive hobby" I'd hate to see what this person thinks of my 350+ digital game collection.

I like the bit where he was apparently playing Bioshock Infinite for "hundreds of Friday nights" which means he was playing it years before it was released. Also if she spent those nights "sadly leafing through magazines" then maybe she has a magazine obsession.

This is just some morons blog post, they didn't even put their name to it. Actually that doesn't surprise me, if I wrote that I'd be too ashamed to put my name to it as well.

That's just not right.

And while not even a woman being forced into having constant sex causing pain is totally justified to cut the man's manhood, even though I would seem like the right thing to do, definitely breaking that collection into pieces can't justify even the so called "hundreds of Friday nights that we imagine she spent sadly leafing through magazines on the couch while he played "Bioshock Infinite.""

It's like I'd tear apart my girlfriend's collection of dresses just because she refuses to go with me to a movie while going shopping, or doing god knows what, on a daily basis.

It's just not rational.
But then again, the light of reason is very hard to spot when your vision is dimmed by the clouds of hatred.

Foxhack: "Let's just be grateful his obsessive hobby wasn't..."

Seriously? Who the fuck gave that hack writer a job? That's sixteen games, that's not even close to being a smidge obsessive.

langurmonkey: I wouldn't want you as an ex girlfriend... :P What is 16 games, right? Maybe I'm not understanding you 100%?
You're definitely not understanding him correctly. He's not saying "What she did wasn't so bad, it was only 16 games", but rather "What an incompetent journalist, to call the ownership of 16 games an obsessive hobby". Actually, it's 17 games, there's another one almost out of the image at the bottom right, but that's still nowhere near justification for the use of the word "obsessive".

I wouldn't consider myself an "obsessive" game collector by any stretch of the definition, and while I don't know exactly how many physical game discs I own, it's probably more than 100.
I found this on the Reddit source if anyone wondered:

"saulandtalin[S] 195 points 21 hours ago
She got mad at him because she read his texts that some one else apparently sent on his phone. The texts were talking about some "hotties" he saw. She got angry and broke all of his games."

If some Bitch broke my games, I would break her neck

Immoli: I love how the author clearly blames the guy and acts like he's a piece of shit when he's the victim.
Obviously, the author is a man hating female. If there was a story written about a black person being a victim of something and the author blames the black person as if he or she is a piece of shit when clearly he did deserve what was done to him then obviously the author is a racist or white supremacist. And unfortunately, man hating females are common in the western world. I'm not sure exactly why but they are common.

So because his eyes encountered some good looking females, she broke all his games? I'm guessing "he saw" is not some teenager slang used nowadays for "he fucked".

tarangwydion: There are barely any subjects under heaven that country music has not covered yet,
Really? I would have thought Country was fairly limited in content with a ton of things it hasn't covered. I don't listen to it though, so I don't know.

Nirth: As horrible that was, if it's true, it's certainly understandable why she did it.
I believe I understand where you're coming from, the fact that her actions weren't out of the blue. But I still disagree with her actions.

If you were abused as a kid you are extra cautious in whom you date. Once bitten, twice shy. You tell your date your history and whatever extra patience/sensitivity you need in bed. If you sense that your date can't be sensitive, you dump them. I assume everybody knows to date for some time before marriage. Even if problems didn't occur until after marriage, then you leave. You call the cops on abuse, and you leave. You do NOT stay in an abusive relationship, man OR woman.

There were no police reports of abuse or violence. If somebody is screwing you over, mistreating you, or otherwise putting you in a rage, the best response is to leave that situation, not stay, so that your anger and rage build. That's my two cents.

Thunderstone: I'm not even a guy and that makes me flinch, damn 0.o
Then again body mutilation should make anybody who is sane flinch.
It gets better. This event got a lot of media attention. Not outrage, but people were laughing at the guy.

Having trouble finding any original videos, wouldn't be surprised if the companies tried to purge them from the internet, but there are some that comment on the video and use some of the original footage.

I particularly like how this video was uploaded by MutliationIsNotFunny who only has this one single video.

I could have sworn the 700 club also laughed at it, but I can't find any footage so I wont say I'm sure. Maybe I just got them confused with this talk group.

langurmonkey: Obviously, the author is a man hating female.
Because they wrote badly about a man's gaming habits? Seems more like someone who doesn't like gaming.

That's true but not everyone is that rational, especially when it comes to emotional relationships. While it's easy to say "just call the cops and run from it" I don't think it looks like that in reality, at least not all the time. It can be a delicate situation and in theory I can imagine staying in a abusive relationship if that is the sort of environment you're used to, maybe people around you have a lot worse so relatively speaking it's at least "good enough".
