Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.


i didnt get a PS2 until 2008, but played MGS1 on the Gamecube and 2 on the PC, so playing 3 on the PS2 one million years late was an incredible experience. also got zone of the enders, they dont make fun robit games like that anymore

My mom stood in line at like 3am to get me a launch PS2 even tho I didn't ask for it since I figured they would be sold out for months. She hid it until Christmas and I got to play Madden and whatever other crap was out at launch lol, but I was still insanely happy. My mom FTMFW. I think the first game I got that got any real play time was DOA2: Hardcore

2001 was the clutchest Christmas of all time for my mom, we were a bag cereal, no cable TV kinda family and my brother and I didn't ask for anything big or expensive because we knew we just couldn't afford it. I was probably hoping for the PS1 version of Tony Hawk 3 or something. Woke up to a PS2, Devil May Cry, MGS2, and Madden. No idea how she afforded it or what divine guidance caused her to pick those games, just an all-timer of a mom performance

I bought my PS2 myself with the first paycheck from my summer job when I was 16, shredding old documents for my dad’s union. The guy I worked for later went to jail for embezzling money. Anyway thanks dude

My first PS2 broke when my dumbass cousin borrowed it for a week. I was right in the middle of discovering how crazy the library was and playing tons of games like MGS3 for the first time so I kept telling my dad that I needed a PS2 and he always responded with "I need to Pee S, too." He eventually got me a slim lol

i was always a gen late since my fam was poor and the first time I saw a ps2 was at a friends in 5th grade.

a kid brought it over and hooked it up to the tv, he loaded up gta3 and started walking around the city and we were all gushing about how cool it was. my friends mom walked in and said "oh wow that looks great! much better than the n64" and the kid goes "yeah! check this out" and he pulls out a baseball bat and kills a prostitute and the mom started shrieking "NOO! NO VIOLENCE! OH MY GOD" and panic ripped the ps2 out of the tv and electrical socket, yelled at all of us forever.

she had everyone get picked up immediately and she was telling my mom about it in a nervous trembling tangent with a cigarette in her mouth like we all just experienced colombine. my mom said "oye puta te falta uno o tres tornillos? son juegos!" I never went to their place again.

One time me & my friends stayed at the new kids house for a sleepover and he bragged about having a movie with a naked lady in it so we begged him to show us and it was a lady in a swimsuit.

My big fat PS2 broke down one day and I was heartbroken over it. Just visibly forlorn every day, not being able to play Metal Gear or San Andreas or Guitar Hero 2. One day I came home from school and my mom yelled at me and told me to go to my room for the rest of the night for some vague, unspecified crime I had committed. I went to my room and my mom had gotten me a PS2 Slim, McDonalds, and a new box fan. Mom owns love my mom.

One time I went to a sleepover when I was 9 and we watched Demolition Man and the X-Files episode from the first season where an AI starts killing people in an office building. For some reason the scene where Scully almost got sucked into a giant fan terrified me and gave me nightmares for weeks

Summer 2002 my dad set up an extension cord+small TV next to our pool to watch some baseball with friends and when they all went inside I grabbed a second extension cord and set up the GameCube and spent the rest of the day floating along the side the pool playing Super Mario Sunshine
