About Me

The extent of my hardcoreness would we that I still have my PSX, controller, memory card and Final Fantasy VIII locked up for a rainy day. Other than that I still have my Dreamcast just for Shenmue and Seaman. I'll goto my grave saying Indigo Prophecy and Dreamfall; The Longest Journey are two of the best games of all time.

Top 5 Games:
1) Final Fantasy VIII
2) Indigo Prophecy
3) Shenmue I & II
4) Dreamfall; The Longest Journey
5) Rock Band/Guitar Hero series

Top 5 Books:
1) The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx
2) The Dirt by Motley Crue
3) Blue Rage; Black Redemption by Stanley Williams
4) Walk This Way by Aerosmith
5) Tommyland by Tommy Lee

Other than that I absolutely love long walks on the beach, drinking beer, and killen. Oh and Motley Crue FTW! Nikki Sixx is the man!

Resurface, Resmurface.
Styles B LKV \| 4:30 PM on 05.10.2009	5 comments

So awhile ago I borrowed my buddy Halo 3 because his two boys LOVE Halo. Lately my buddies I game with have been play Halo 3 again when CoD4 gets boring so I decided it was time to get my copy back. I was horrified to see it covered in minor and major scratches and I cannot afford to take it in to get it resurfaced.But then a light bulb went off and I remembered something my friend showed me in Junior High to take scratches out of music CDs and I figured I didn't have much to lose.

With the instructions running through my head I went into my bthroom and grabbed my toothpaste, Windex and a lighter. Put a decent amount of toothpaste smeared around it and let it sit for a moment and then got it all off with the Windex and a soft paper towel. To ensure it's all off you run a lighter around the bottom and throw her in and it's as good as new... at least whenever I do it.

I don't recommend it, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work. If you have a game that's scratched to fuck and no where near by that resurfaces, you don't have much to lose.

As always, here is some filler...

Wood Filler is not recommended for procedure detailed above.

yeah.... I think I'll just stick to paying $5 down the street for my video store to do it...

I had a copy of Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 for the Dreamcast that got scratched up to the point where it wouldn't work. What ever I did I ended up filling in the scratches but permanently "fogged" the disc. I don't know exactly cause I've never seen a disc go like it before. Anyways it still doesn't work but every once and awhile I'll throw it in hoping to see it work. It never does but I pray one time it will cause I loved the game.

Good to here that you were able to fix your game though. I never heard of your method before but will try it out on some scratched burnt disc I have lying around.

I've done this before sans lighter. It works quite well.

Thanks for posting a helpful tip!

I might try this out on an old game for the hell of it, because I've always been curious about this kind of thing. I think my copy of Quake III Arena for Dreamcast is scratched to hell, now that I think about it. Thanks for the Protip.
