How about don't treat your disc like a Frisbee in the first place.

Barely.

How about don't treat your disc like a Frisbee in the first place.

I've actually taken fairly good care of my discs. My girlfriends discs are the ones who went to hell and back.
Of course I take care of hers too now.

 

[katsubento]

Mythbusters, here is a noble cause.

I would pay money to see that episode.

 

[Lord Helmet]

I never buy used anymore because half the time it looks as if someone wiped their ass with the disc. I may as well teabag my games before trading them in.

Trash cans exist

This is a drunk thread right? Right?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

tag baiting op?

Nope, never came to my mind.

Trash cans exist

Why would I throw out a perfectly good disc?

 

[Mr.Green]

tag baiting op?

This HAS to happen.

Where was this thread when I had to send back Max Payne 3 before even playing it due to some sort of corrupt save install data? I woulda flushed that shit quick.

Looks like magic. I'm convinced. No way could cleaning it by hand ever achieve that.

Believe.

I thought the point was that the discs weren't working.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

working properly, so i...i...fair enough.

 

[yogloo]

I always do this before I sell back my games to EB. It works.

Too easy.

Insert "flushing is a good way to clear your backlog" joke here.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Edit: fuck me.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Why was this necro'd, dude.

 

[blame space]

Cool thread

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Edit: fuck me.

You necro'd your own thread? And this one of all threads? hahaha

 

[xevis]

I never met anyone who had successfully fixed a CD in the toilet, I always just took it as an old wive's tale.

Who are these grandmothers cleaning their CDs in the toilet?!

 

[Cave Johnson]

I remember something like this, it's the equivalent to "blowing the bottom cartridge" for CD's. I know the alcohol and toothpaste, but I've heard of cases where if you flush your CDs, it works after.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Was looking at it, accidentally posted here instead of the chinese go thread.

 

[ZAMtendo]

I can bet that you've made a bet to get a Gaffer to flush his game disc down the toilet.

 

[sw1tch]

Can someone make a tutorial?
edit: grr ;<

It's okay, that topic and flushing games down the toilet correlate in my mind as well.

You're a mad man

I once fixed an Xbox Demo disc by putting it in boiling water. True story.

[Sparrowhawk]

That's way more effort than I'd go through for a demo disc.
What was on it?

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

So did anyone else try this to confirm it works?

Another No Mans Sky Thread?

 

[disappeared]

OP must be trolling..

But seriously: Why does putting the connection cable up your arse make it work?

Mitochondria.

 

[kamineko]

another reason to go digital i guess

Cool bump

 

[Ragnar Blackmane]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[otakukidd]

Can confirm it works. Haven't needed to do it since game consoles started using blurays though.

Another No Mans Sky Thread?

Funny.

 

[DavidDesu]

Posting in here for posterity, what the actual...

 

[DavidDesu]

Is fear of the toilet an American thing?

Flushing is, as evidenced above, a well-documented method. Once, my keys became badly tarnished with soot. I put a spot of Brasso on a dessert plate, and laid my keys on top of it, inside the toilet. One flush later, and they looked brand new.

Maybe experiment or do some light reading before you condemn it.

You genuinely sound like you're from the 1940's mate. Fucking Brasso... HAHAHAHAHA. This thread is golden.

 

[Drain You]

this is just so odd

Another No Mans Sky Thread?

I lol'd

 

[Dipper145]

Not sure if I'm more amused by flushing a disc in a toilet fixing it, or people who think its gross. It's not like you're putting the disc in your mouth, they aren't amiibos.

Even after this whole thread I'm not 100% sure if this is real or not.
