Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.
I rode a motorcycle without a helmet and my short term brain thing is broke. I have a feeling my wife might be re-gifting everything for my birthdays and Christmas. I was feeling sad, so I hosed up trying to treat myself and bought No Mans Sky.

Just thinking about it makes me sad. Maybe I should treat myself and buy that new No Mans Sky game.

Purchased Superman 64.

I was in such denial about it too. I played it for weeks just flying around doing jack poo poo and trying to convince my friends it was a sound purchase.

Got angry at my primary school girlfriend when she tripped over the controller cables and yanked my ps1 off the shelf, instead of just being happy that she seemed to enjoy losing at twisted metal 2.

My mom left our Sega Master System out in the rain. I was too little to have any memory of this, but apparently one day I was all like "where Sega :saddowns:" and next thing you know my siblings and I got a Genesis for Christmas.

Jailbreaking a pristine-looking fat PS3. About 2 weeks later it developed heat problems and then YLOD and was told the dipshit that owned it previously evidently used a heat gun on the motherboard and the board was slightly warped and couldn't be reballed.

Big waste, but now have a slim with enough games to keep me busy for a long time.

plugged in an arcade joystick while on the file browser screen for a hard drive modded ps2 and it thought the controller was in a permanent state of holding Down while auto-firing X

so in the span of like a second it repeatedly clicked a file, clicked delete, clicked yes on the confirm window, then moved onto the next file until the drive was empty

I remember how Colonial Marines looked like total poo poo in the previews Gearbox was releasing leading up to release and people in the SA thread were still buying into it.
