The Magic Pudding

Choose a gooey food he eats a lot of, say peanut butter.
Apply liberally to upper side of  a game disk.
Insert disk into console and let it play for a bit.
You could apply the goo directly to the disk reader lens if you want to be subtle.
Anyway if he gets it fixed it will look like something he did himself.

You guys have all been surpringly helpful. I like the moving console while ON idea, as well as the sewing needle idea.

Also, how does one get banned?

Believe me, this is a challenge no matter what I do. My uncle spends all day, every day playing xbox live in his bedroom right beside mine, with very thin walls. The only time he leaves is once a month to buy something at gamestop, or shower once every few days.  X__x

Call me old-fashioned, but I like a good ol' passive-aggressive note, myself.

"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Wow, grammar aside, that note took the words right out of my mouth.
As much as I enjoy passive aggressive notes, it won't work; ACTION WILL! *puts on Rambo makeup*

you might want to get him a Kinect and a whole bunch of fitness games. That would turn him off the games for a long time. >:)

Yeah, no. that would be a complete waste of money in every way possible. :/

Tools you will need:

Screwdriver
Flashlight
Wire cutters (or a sharp knife)

Procedure:

Open up the back of the TV.
Find the speakers
Cut the wires to the speakers
Replace the back of the TV

Problem solved.

I like this a lot. He used to own surround sound speakers years ago, but I opened the back and burned the inside. That was fun :D   (not a pyromaniac, I swear.)

As I stated above, the biggest issue is he rarely leaves his bedroom for long durations. I'll figure something out though, using all your helpful ideas. Thanks everyone. I love you non-judgy atheists. XDD

Do you live with your parents right now? If you do have you told your parents about your uncle?

But to mess up his Xbox I'd do the following: Take his Xbox when he's not looking, open it up and remove the heatsink (it's a hunk of metal with a fan on it that sits on top of the console's CPU/graphics chip) and put it back together. When he turns on his Xbox it will stay on for a few seconds before it overheats and fries itself.

Take a note of his console serial number, console id and xbox live username. Phone xbox support and say your console has been stolen.

OR log in as him and be abusive on the mic. Making RL threats is usually a shortcut to the banhammer.

I don't even know what an xbox is, so I asked my 13-year-old granddaughter what to do.  She favours Pudding's solution, only using a sticky drink.  She came straight up with that unprompted.  BTW she loved your burning the speakers, SD.

That sounds like fun. I need a cool voice changer too, like scream. XD

Take out the fan? I can probably do that. I hope he'll go out for xmas or new years.   >D
