Okay, so me and my oldest kid go out to try to get my PSP exchanged yesterday. In the meantime, my wife was at home doing a bit of spring cleaning.

Well, as I'm coming out of the mall, I call her to tell her Gamestop can't give me my new PSP until Tuesday. Not really caring at all, she tells me she thinks it will be a good idea to move all the contents from my game room into our girl's play room and vice versa.

I immediately tell her it's a bad idea ... mainly because I just don't want to mess with it and the fact the game room is a lot smaller than the playroom.

She starts to get sassy with me, so I do the only thing I could ... I tell her if she's gonna act like that, then I'm not helping her and the conversation was ended.

Me and the daughter have a good time on the ride back home chatting together. We get home and walk into the house and it looks like a Sasquatch has been setting up shop in the house for a week or so.

She literally piled everything from my game room and piled it into the kitchen, and dismantled my computer desk. Knowing that my copy of Untold Legends was sitting on one of the shelves, I immediately asked her where she put it. All she could do was give a shrug and a shy smile while looking at the chaos she created.

I wade through the ocean of mess and start digging through all my valuables and at the very bottom, I find my Untold Legends case. I take it back to my bedroom, since that's the only room she hasn't touched. I open the case to start playing some Untold Legends, and guess what ... no UMD.

The wife swears up and down that she didn't do anything with it and that she lightly put all my stuff down in the kitchen. Being pretty T.O.ed, I head for the safe confines of my couch to watch some tv and to cool down.

Oh yeah, while disassembling my computer desk, she also took the liberty of doing the same to my computer. Well, I wanted to log on a bit and see what were the goings on at the World Wide Web. So I reassemble it on a makeshift computer desk.

I'm sitting there for a few minutes, and she comes in looking like she just conquered Troy single handedly. I look up at her, she walks over to me and cracks open the UMD, places the disc on the table and says, "Look, it's not broken."

I put my head on the desk in disbelief.
 
Well, it seems like she asked...
That still sucks, man. There's like two people in the world who are allowed to touch any of my game related stuff without supervision.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm sorry, GA, but this had to happen to *somebody*.

myke.
...perhaps if you included your spouse as a gamer more frequently, she would be aware of things such as protective casing. This is important, no?
 
At least she found it....j/k

Your wife sounds like a total bitch. I'd never do that to my boyfriend (who I have been dating for almost 5 years) no matter how mad/angry I was. Part of it is respect and the other part is common sense.

Why did she think she should crack the UMD open?
 
you need to put in a formal request with her to get your pants back. i wear the pant in my family. if you need a temporary pair, i can express mail them for you, so you can straighten out this confusion as to who is in charge.
 
Half you guys or gals must not be married. People do fight from time to time. Secondly the cracked open UMD case means the DVD style case I assume.

Also Grave didnt say not to do it, he said hes not helping.

If he was truely concerned he would have said I dont think its a good idea lets talk when I get home. Not what was said.

Also the next time something like this comes up he might pay a bit more attention.

On the other hand it wasnt right but its bound to happen.
 
Bah. The OP opted out of being involved, then complains about the natural consequences of his actions.

Natural consequences carried to a cinematically ironic ending with the UMD unsheathing.

An instant classic! 4 stars!
 
At the end of the night it was actually kind of funny.

In all honesty, my wife wasn't trying to be a bitch about it. She put all my stuff in the kitchen with the intent of moving it back in the playroom when she was done, so I can't really be mad at that part. It was more shock than anything.

She's never seen a UMD before, so I'm guessing she thought it was just a case for the disc. So she just popped the bitch open and slapped the disc on the table.

After she did that, I told her thanks for ruining my $40 game. I then explained to her why she broke it, and you know what she said?

"Why don't you just go buy a cheap game?"

:roll:

What I ended up doing was taking the disc out of my sampler UMD and sliding the Untold Legends disc in there. It snaps into place in the back, but the front part is glued together. I just need to add a bit of super glue, and it will back to perfect.

*Waits for the inevitable 'I HAVE PLASTIC SHARDS IN MY UMD DRIVE!' thread*
 
[quote name='uzumaki_star']Is your wife natually blonde or dyes it that color?[/quote]

Excuse my wife being on here making fun of yours. She has done worst with some of my games for instance, at one of her family functions with her younger cousins they were playing the PS2 that we share and for some reason a couple of days later when I went to trade in some of my games the disk mysteriously had been cracked about half the way through. But this is the funny part I found this out when I went to trade in some of the games at Gamerush because it was old I was trying to get on the trade 3 for $10. The employee at Gamerush just looked at me kind of odd and told me that I couldn't trade it in I told him to just throw it in the trash.
 
WHAT THE HELL

Thats just wrong man.

Dont make excuses for the wife guys, what she did was plain wrong.

If you let her walk all over you like that, you're an enabler and thats just plain wrong too.

Let her get away with it? Who said she got away with it? Her ass was up till 3 a.m. cleaning it up while I was sound asleep with my PSP next to me on my pillow.

:roll: This notion of who wears the pants in the family is such a crock. Perhaps your wife does not have a mind of her own? If someone is "in charge" there's something wrong with the relationship IMO.
 
When I got my PSP from BB last night, the worker there said there were only two people with problems, and one had taken his disk out of the plastic, so I guess she's not the only one.
 
wait, i still dont understand, the gameroom is a lot smaller than the girl's playroom, that sounds like a solid real estate victory, right?

ive found that the majority of moms/gfs/wives do not understand that electronics can be and often are delicate (i think they often lump them into the power tools category and so therefore are built ford tough, etc) but the key is that sony doesnt make power tools
 
lol...that is pretty funny. it would be more funny except for that untold legends is *Really Good*, and you're missing out in the mean time...i think if i were you i would just suck up the cost and buy a new one, cheaper then the potential of messing up a $250 system and you won't have to try and explain to sony why the umd is super glued in there, lol...well, not that you would do that, but i probably would if i tried it.

please, no more 'girls/women don't understand' *rolls eyes*
I once had an ex try and jam a gbc game into my sp thinking he could make it flush with the bottom of the system, even after he had seen the size of my gba games...;_; at least i caught him and could yank it out of his hands and mildly ridicule him for it before he did any damage, heh.
 
She's got a wallet right? ...put 2 and 2 together man. :)

Any glad it seems to have worked out for you, you getting sleep and her getting back breaking labor. :D
 
Check with the game publisher. Most companies have a resonable media replacement policy for stuff on inexpensive forms like UMD. Chances are you can get it replaced for less than $10 including shipping. Probably a better idea than risking damage to your drive.
 
I'm reminded of the Sam Kinison bit: "I understand wife beating. I don't condone it but I understand it. I'm not violent but I know what turns Mr. Hand into Mr. Fist."

I'd expect nothing less from a guy named "chickenhawk"

I just heard a whip crack - you better get back to doing the laundry.
