I almost ruined my friends copy of GTA IV when he turned the 360 on with his controller while I moved his system to the floor. I wouldn't have paid for a new copy though...

I think 90 percent of anyone that says the following words: noob, owned, pwnd ect, are the ones that probably have no contact with the world outside of their mothers basement. Not all, just most.

Not a very good list here. A lot of it isn't even proof of noobness. Like I'll hit the home button all the time. And I forget who my character is.

Come on, you've at least done one of these once in your gaming experience. I'm guilty of the "holding down the accelerator" quite some time ago.

My brother moved our xbox when it was on. With my Fable 2 Collecters Edition in it. And I couldn't afford to get game insurrence from the store I bought it from ('CAuse my store offers that kick ass feature). So i lost 70 bucks. I almost cried. Almost.

Ha I have a disk resurfacer to fix those coins on 360 disks it's paid for it's self with 30$ and a ticket to a hockey game.

I'm pretty sure I've only done shoryukens instead of hadoukens on SFIV. Stupid controls.

I've seen so many 360 games returned because of the scratched ring. Last time it happened was about a month ago. "I bought this game yesterday. It worked fine for a while, but now it won't play." I flipped the game over and saw the scratched ring. "You moved the console when the game was spinning. You can't move the system when you're playing it or it'll scratch the disc." Then he got all defensive. "YOU MEAN I CAN'T MOVE THE SYSTEM AT ALL!?" Why the hell do you need to move the console? Who is in the middle of playing a game and out of the blue decides to get up and move the damn system. Idiots.

What about thinking that actually moving the controller to the right will make Mario jump farther. We all did it.
