Doom still hates his PS2 - Page 4

*Kid Icarus* · 01-17-2006, 10:46 PM

I console bash... but I know when to back down, and even when to avoid threads all together.

Go me.

And yeah... 'bout the mac thingy... after the death of my HDD from WXP, I'm seriously considering a Mac Mini... $100 min for a new HDD, or $400 for a total computer upgrade. Hm...

Peanut, I was merely providing my opinion on which platform I chose to play my video games and what I thought about the Xbox 360, when you decided to bust in--both rudely and defensively. If there is anyone in this thread being a "dick" it surely isn't me. If you cared to read this thread, it is evident that other posters have had their share of "bashing" including you. I have not insulted you, or anyone else on this board, so who exactly am I talking smack about? If you still want to explain how I did "insult", please do so, unlike your initial response when I asked you to do so the first time.

I abode the forum rules while maintaining my opinion. If it offended you, I am sorry for that. Instead of ruining this thread with your banter that makes little sense to me, explain it in a PM to me.

Doom, As for the broken PS2, I would take Peanut's advice and invest in a newer slimmer, PS2 that is also compatible with the DVD remote control. The slim PS2's are such aesthetically beautiful machines that are extremely nifty. But if you are still determined to purchase a DS, more power to you. Mario Kart DS is possibly the greatest racing game I have ever played, especially if you live near Wi-Fi hotspots.

GWG, just get a new PC with Linux

*Kid Icarus* · 01-18-2006, 11:59 AM

Bah. I can't run most of the programs I need on Linux, otherwise I'd have done that by now.

And new PC's cost *more* then what I can get a Mac Mini for. I dare say that that's a first.. an Apple product costing *less* then a PC.

No, I meant I already did make that decision. I could have gotten a new PS2 for my birthday/Christmas, but I decided I wanted a DS instead. I did end up getting Mario Kart and fortunately for me, I was able to connect it to my wireless internet here almost immediately. My PS2 works just fine after I clean the lens off every time, I just can't imagine this thing is gonna last forever. So I would still like to get a new PS2, I just need to save up for one, I suppose.

You don't have to point out I'm a dick to me, pwnage. I already know that. I also wasn't offended by anything you said, because basically I don't care where I play games as long as I'm playing them. I just like being an asshole. I'd rather not argue with you anymore, though, so let's all make fun of Doom for having a ****** PS2.

*points at Doom* HAHA!!!

*Dr. Doom* · 01-18-2006, 02:07 PM

.....huh? What are you laughing at me about?

*BigApple3AM* · 01-19-2006, 04:02 PM

I have a first wave gamecube which runs like a dream. That's the only system I ever had to have the first day. Well besides the GBA which I actually got 2 months earlier as I imported one from Japan. That one is dead as I accidentally busted the LCD screen, and after doing that I continued to bust it since I was bored.

My PS2 runs very well as well, though I waited until a few months after Grand Theft Auto 3 came out to get it, so it must have been 1 or 2 years after the release. It's a fatty PS2, I try to make it exercise but it's lazy.

And you plan to play games on that thing? HA! Let me tell you, the cheapest Mac Mini has a 1.25 gHz processor, thats pretty disgusting. Besides, you could build a PC yourself for $500 that performs much better.
