Another pic of the funeral.

>setting a N64 on fire when the problem was probably something benign and easily repairable

I remember after the old CRT monitor broke, my older brother wanted to take a baseball bat to it out back, but mom wouldn't allow it.

Good. Those things can be fucking dangerous.

>>872961
It was like the image on the CRT was folded in on itself. You could literally see the the mouse curling around towards the bottom as you moved it up, and there was an incredibly bright white bar hanging above this.

>>872956
My older brother brought a broken crt monitor home once (from a news station) and we took it behind our house where there was a large area of concrete. Then he proceded to throw it as high as possible to see if it would "land".

>>872969
I'm assuming it fucking exploded?

>>872965

I've handled thousands of CRTs in my line of work. It is NOT a good idea to just break the things like that unless you keep your distance. They are godly displays, but fuck's sake, they can shock you and even kill you if you dick with them.

>Setting a console on fire when you could've sold/given it to someone to use for scrap parts

Unless it was completely unfixable, you're a moron OP.

It's probably in no worse shape than before.
The only Nintendo product that's ever quit on me is a DS Fat when it landed on a hinge.

I still consider my PlayStation my "original" Playstation even though the only original parts left are the controller ports, top half of the casing, and power supply.

>that yummy smelling heavy smoke that pours out of the display when smashed
it's like smelling freshly baked cookies

OP, I have at least 3 additional n64's in my house (don't judge me) and I'd be willing to give one to you (please don't burn it). Where you living at?

I don't think I've ever had a retro console flat-out die. I replaced my original SNES because it has a busted AC port, and it was easier to buy a new one instead of fucking around with it every time. I sure as hell didn't burn it though, it's sitting on my shelf.

Bunch of slack jawed mac owners in here or what? Fix that shit, don't throw it out.

ITT: Hillbillies.

You probably just forgot to plug it in.

It should still work after being set on fire though.

mmm death smoke

>dontbreathethis.avi

>>874423
Thanks for the offer, but I also had a spare, because I foresaw this happening when it started to bug out sometimes. It got played 10 ways to death for over 10 years and I originally bought it used and in bad shape. Those Pokemon stickers are not mine...
>>874417
Bullshit! It smelled horrible!

>somehow managing to actually break an n64
>not fixing it
>burning plastic

>not giving it a Viking funeral

You have no taste, OP.

probably an easy fix, OP. Thanks for burning something of limited quantity I hope you get AIDS and die.

>setting a not so common game console on fire because its broken

btw what was the problem in the first place

>>872932
Wow.
Consider i'm not a N64 expert, you could at least try fixing it. What a complete waste.

>>874423
Can I have one?

>>874846

>not so common

Wat?

>>872932

How does one even have a broken N64?

That console is immortal. Take it from someone who still has their original one after it was submerged in a flood and pissed on by a dog.

>>874971
>pissed on by a dog.
spilled my pepsi lolling at this

>>875447
good, pepsi isn't good for you anyhow, drink some orange juice instead

>>872952
even if you couldn't fix it you could have used the case for something cool you moron
yes, my jimmies are rustled

>>874846
>N64
>not so common
what? how old are you?

though I am interested it was was wrong with it.

>>872932
RIP in peace my friend, may god speed you on your journey to that undiscovered country.

OP you chumpstuck

Short of circuitry fizzling from overdraw, there's literally NOTHING that can kill an N64. Even the cartridge pin slot can be fixed. It's a solid state device with no moving parts.

>>874519
He burned it...What do you want him to build a fucking pyre or set it on fire down a river?

>>876270
What do you want him to build a fucking pyre or set it on fire down a river?

Yes.

>>875850
The internal pins on the power supply probably started to rust. Happened to my N64, which caused it to reset randomly. I took it apart and scratched off the rust with a flathead screwdriver, and now it runs fine again. Some people just assume the worst the second something stops working as intended.

>>872961
HOW? Its about as dangerous as smashing a window. Put some safety glasses on and smash away. I've made countless explosives and my own firearms when I was a teenager and I still have all my fingers now. If the prospect of danger stops you from doing things I feel for you man.

>>872982
No it wont, besides wood is non conductive don't be a bitch

>>874519
go kill yourself namefag. Pic related its shit you're into fagget.
