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.

Well, it's a country music after all (which I like by the way, the country music in general that is, not specific to Carrie Underwood). There are barely any subjects under heaven that country music has not covered yet, perhaps as Niles Crane from the sitcom Frasier once said in the episode "Desperately Seeking Closure": "I'm surprised the country music people haven't jumped all over this one!" :-D

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.

Oh that's just wrong... all those poor games!

That's why I.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsuL6tRlijo

Destruction of property is a felony. I wish all ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends remembered that. At least in Poland, when damaged property is of value greater than 250PLN (a value of two x360 games), it's a felony. If it's less, it's misdemenaour.

You can go to jail for this. It doesn't matter if it's your ex's games, a car, or a flat.

Reading through the article this is mentioned:

"The man, who is not being named by The Associated Press because of the nature of the attack, married Kieu after they met at a gym but soon subjected Kieu to verbal and sexual abuse, Kieu’s public defender, Frank Bittar, said during trial.
Kieu had mental health problems caused by a childhood full of molestation and other trauma in war-torn Vietnam, and her husband also constantly demanded sex in ways that caused her pain, Bittar said."

As horrible that was, if it's true, it's certainly understandable why she did it.

An ex egged my car after I broke up with her. That was amusing.

Evil evil evil evil evil ex girlfriend... There is a special place in hell, for someone who does that to a gamer's collection.
Another reason to go digital, folks... And if you have to have physical, buy a fucking safe... I wouldn't want you as an ex girlfriend... :P What is 16 games, right? Maybe I'm not understanding you 100%?

It's also one of the main reasons why most digital download shops don't allow their users to delete games from their libraries. The potential damage when someone else gets access to your account would be too large.

Nothing ever justifies cutting off a man's penis. She should face life in prison for this. She is clearly a dangerous woman. And verbal abuse? LOL Most people verbally abuse each other every day. Verbal abuse happens a lot in a lot of families too. Okay, I shouldn't of laughed. Verbal abuse is a horrible thing but it is no more horrible than having a shitty job or being stuck in traffic.

this comment is priceless
"Never had a girlfriend... so all of my stuff is still intact."

I'd rather have the freedom to choose which games I want to keep. There is not many things out there more horrible than having to see a game you hate in your collection until the day you die...

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.
