Thanks a lot, Prick.

Luckily, my older sister doesn't have the same interests that I do so I've never had to worry. At most, she likes to come and watch me play but that's about it. (Though, she does ask 50 thousand questions while I'm playing...)

The only solution I can think of is to just ask him and be rational about it. But you already said that won't work. To be honest, I can't really think of any other solution that will end with win-win results...

Sorry for double-post, but everyone does realize the OP is 17 right (I see he also has the accursed November birthday that makes things wonky for real life)? That means his brother is 18+ and should have a life outside of gaming (and I say should because I know it sometimes doesn't happen). Unless your brother is a high school senior ( I'm assuming you are a junior or senior) he should be off to college/work/doing something besides gaming all day. Sneak in when he's not there and don't stop when he comes home for payback. Or you can call him a lazy bum if he doesn't do anything else. (Assuming he is fully capable of getting a job/going to college/etc. Don't mock him if he has a good reason to be home). Also, the hell is doing staying up all night, assuming he does something during the day? Am I the only person who appreciates a full night of sleep?

My younger brother and I have an honourable bond; I wouldn't do that to him and vice versa. Usually we go for co-op games so that one doesn't have to miss out in favour of the other.
Fair enough he paid a bit more for it, but he's being a bit of a jerk.

We are talking about a game here. He WILL get bored eventually. Then, you can play to your heart's content.

Sleep is good. Especially a full day of it.

Wow man. I totaly sympathise with you. Not just 10 minutes ago my brother got his greasy hands all over my room. PS3 controller, all my game discs scratched etc. I thought coming on the escapist would calm be down but after your story reminded me. RAGE!!!!!!!!!!

Get your brother a girlfriend or another hobby. Buy him a model kit or a puzzle. Or a hooker.

And no, I buy my own games and I only have a sister, who couldn't care less about videogames.

Sorry, but if he is going to be one of the people who does that... either never pay part for the game ever again to stop this from happening, and/or take just under half of the disk that you payed for... and just under half of the case, cover, and manual.
He needs to learn to share, especially if he didn't pay the full price for it.
Geez, I get so worked up by people like that...

Put a couple of sleeping pills in his drink and when he is unconscious, you can play to your hearts content. If you are lucky he will never find out you drugged him.
(I am actually being serious here)
Or if he is the reasonable type, you could try talking to him

I was going to suggest super-gluing his hands to the gamepad, that way he has a hard time thrashing you when you steal the game.
But this is better, renders him completely unconscious. Also this way there's nothing you may have to replace.

Your brother has 150 pounds of muscle on you? What are you a pygmy?

No. Just REALLY lanky. And my brother is just below a logger job-wise.
