A conversation in another topic reminded me of a "eulogy" I wrote a while back whilst suffering from severe insomnia. Observe what my sleep-deprived brain shit out at 4 AM.

I remember the day you came my way
And stole all my precious time
For years you gave me pleasure
And on you I spent every earned nickel and dime
Then came the day of reckoning
A day I shall not soon forget
With a mighty crackle you smoked and died
Reeking of urine from my pet

It seems a great injustice
To go in such an undignified way
You weathered abuse from my nephews
When they would fight over you day after day
You survived being frozen in my busted piece-of-shit car
You even survived my ex's tantrum
When he drunkenly beat you with a broken power bar

Despite your unfortunate death
A proper funeral you shall recieve
Never shall I pawn you
Like I did my busted PSP
You now rest in the "Hall of Heros"
A shelf in my closet reserved for the best of the best
You shall always have a sacred place
Right beside my good ol' NES

*wiped tears from face.*

Beautiful, just beautiful...
Such nostalgics....

Except:
* Urine from your pet O_o?
* You should make a shrine for it, not just put it in your closet.

And, just to piss people off: you can clearly see Sony makes quality, her PS2 survived dreadful things, and lasted five years. 360 consoles don't even make it for a couple of months while being in a sealed, dust-free, cooled evironment.

I feel this way about my PS1. Its probably the greatest investment I've ever made. Any PS1 owner who doesn't own a copy of Xenogears for PS1 should be killed with fire!

Its made by the people who created Windows. Enough said lol.

I'm a lady hun ;)

And the "Hall of Heroes" IS a shrine! It has a little string of Christmas lights and a wooden plaque and everything! (granted, one of my friends made it for me after I called him in the middle of the night, bawling about my dead console XD)

Re: Pet urine - I was living in my mom's attic at the time, and the cats sleep up there. The ceiling was too low for me to keep my consoles on a table, so I had to keep my PS2, along with everything else, on the floor. (Cleaned it twice a week though!) One day the cat with his jewels still intact noticed the system and decided that it was his, so he marked it -_- Or at least that's my theory.

My cat is as bad. Is there anything they won't piss on :mad:

The good thing is that if you decide to replace it, PS2s are going ultra cheap nowdays.

They're going for $150 here. That's more than I can afford at the moment. Then again...if I suck up to the dudes at the local EB I might be able to get a cheap used one...

[EDIT] Oh, and on a side note...

My current 360 crapped out just now. I had the damn thing less than a week.

I was going to suggest getting a PS3, but apparently Sony has removed the backwards compatability feature, so your library of PS2 games would be worthless.

Plus the fact that I couldn't afford the 360, let alone a PS3 on top of that. I'm already going to be surviving on ramen noodles and tap water for the next month.

Gaming can be a bitch. Two consoles dying pretty much at once? Maybe you're cursed... Oh, by the way, congratulations. You're the first girl I've talked to on this forum.

Aww, I feel so loved.

The PS2 died a few months ago, but I suspect you might be right. At least I still have my original Xbox to play with -_-

Can't wait for the 'My Xbox Eulogy' thread then... Just kidding ;)

Have some respect for the dead! It would be an insult to my beloved PS2 if I wrote a eulogy for a console I barely got to know! (Also kidding. I'm not that crazy.)

MAybe you aren't, but somepeople are. My friend went into mourning for a week while his N-Gage was busted. Which is pretty stupid when you think about it. Who'd mourn an N-Gage?

What's a N-Gage?

A stupid half phone, half Gameboy, that succeeds at doing a bad job of being either.

Ewwwww...

Then again, I am a little biased. I dislike handheld systems in general. The only one I don't mind is the DS, and I only play with mine if I have a long boring trip ahead of me and the folks I'm traveling with won't let me drive.

Yeah, stupid little keys/buttons.

Oops, sorry Black Lace. I thought you belonged to the other 99% of the gaming community.

Dang, losing two consoles in such short notice.... real bummer.

Hmmm... You can always play casual games on the internet. But that's really hitting rock-bottom.

Yea, I know.
But it's like poking someone in the eye with a sharp stick when he/she's lying bleeding on the ground with two broken legs. Endless fun!!!

My mom really likes the Penguin Rush game, maybe you could try that.

I'll go outside and do yard work before I play internet games!!! *hiss!*

Why would you do yard work in real life when there are so many flash games that allow you to do exactly that?

*Hiss!* Bad words! My eyes! Someone crucify this potty-mouthed monster!

Death to ps2!!! Muhahahaha!!!
jk

Jeez, talk about rubbing salt into the wound... you guys are using acid!

Karma shall bite the lot of you in the ass!...and I traded in my busted 360 for a new one, so I am happy.

Yay 360ness! You doth convert!

Karma? Pure lies I say!! There is no good or evil, only mocking and being mocked. I chose the former.

Grats on your new 360. Don't forget to edit your sig :rolleyes:.
