Man's best friend gives gamer a push in the right direction

Oscar's path of destruction - Image 1Oscar is a lovable year-old Lab-Hound mix with a knack for chewing his master's stuff. He's chewed them all - pillows, slippers, undies, candles, bottles - even his master Greg's Xbox 360 controller.

With his latest chew toy, however, Oscar gnawed his way into turning his master's console on and managed to buy his master 5,000 Microsoft points. No biggie, Greg didn't mind - it gave him a chance to go for a few things he's been putting off.

"I realized it when I checked my phone to see what time it was (I had to be at work soon) and saw the e-mail from Microsoft confirming the purchase for $62.50," Greg emailed to Kotaku. " "At that point it was a little after 5 a.m.... not something you want to wake up to."

At first, like anyone who wakes up to a sudden US$62.50 bill and a chewed-up controller, Greg was pretty annoyed. Coming to his senses, it wasn't all that bad, and the points were already spent on a few downloads.

"Chances are this is the first time an animal has managed to purchase Microsoft points on an Xbox 360," Greg writes. "What are the odds that he chews on the right buttons, in the right order and moves the stick in the right directions to navigate and purchase points. 1 in a billion? More?" True enough, the odds of that happening are so slim that some would find the story unbelievable.

Greg, however, lives with a roommate and his girlfriend, so maybe they made the purchase? Nope, they were all asleep at the time of the transaction. "Unless either me, my girlfriend or my roommate "sleep shop", there's no other living creature besides the dog that could have done it."

"All in all, I'm not mad," he wrote. "A bunch of new games to keep me busy and a reason to finally go buy that black controller I've been wanting."



Yeah, it's a slow news day:

hey just because dogs don't like your unshowered bacon/wolf ***** scent is no reason to bring down the sanitary real men dog owners on the site. We can't all be cat ladies.

my dog does all sort of things that i would never think a dog could do, opens locked doors, turns on water faucets... all kinds of strange stuff, but if i ever hear some stupid 14 year old on this site again say shoot a dog or any other animal i hope their eyes f@#king fall out and their D*ck goes unused for the rest of their lives... Dogs are worth more then your living at home no girlfriend no responsibility, worthless ass...

I really do hate most dogs. They're annoying and high maintenance and just like to be in the way especially when you have company.



Cat's ain't perfect but at least they're not *always* in need of attention.



I love how dangerously close this is to becoming a flame war. wai2go QJ.

@Mister Common Sense: You wrote a lot of utter stupid crap, completely filled with senseless, idiotic imbecility, but this comment tops it all.

it seems that people on qj don't know how to talk about the topic. They just like to flame each other.



I saw hooray to the dog and that guy should give him a high five because there are a ton of great arcade games out right now that most people have passed up.

Mister Common Sense (for someone with down syndrome) What sort of flake job are you? all of your ranting and *****ing can be opposed to a different topic and still fit, why don't we shoot your useless sister? or your useless mom? or your useless self? i mean, you're not fu**ing perfect, and have screwed up worse than the dog, but because a dog can't speak or wipe it's own ass.... kill it?



find yourself a hobbie kid.



oh and when the humane society euthanizes thousands of animals a year, people do care, sorry we're not all fu**ing inhumane like you are... putrid *****...
