THIS ENTRY IS JUST TALKING ABOUT GAMES. everyone on my flist loves games, right!?1/1/1!??/1!

first is kind of a sad disappointing game. resistance never deserved this. :'c

second is an AMAZING OH MY GOD I LOVE IT game. spec ops was well worth the long wait.

also somewhat related. did anyone hear of the Watch Dogs ARG fail?

well. i was on that. i have like. 70 emails in my inbox from these guys. all because ubisoft accidentally my email. it was hilarious until some dbag started adverting his dumb tumbly. i like how ubisoft has said nothing about this, despite accidentallying like 1000 email addresses. NBD THIS HAPPENS DON'T SAY ANYTHING. can i have a free copy of watch dogs for getting all of these email spam including from some hipster dbag and his tumbly.

i would share caps of the email chain because some of the replies are hilarious (all the ones calling ubisoft failures, mostly) but gmail is being a jerkbag and i cant figure out how to cap an entire chain of like 70 gmails. if someone can tell me i will show you.

you guys.

last night i was trying to play MOAR jak x because it's my life suddenly and like the R2 button (THE TURBO BOOST BUTTON IN THE GAME) was getting stuck to the point where it was ruining my races because my character would be like IDK HOW TO TURBO LOOLOLLOOLOLOL and then everyone and their dog would pass me and it was lame in a bun.

AND THEN I WAS LIKE!!!!1 IM GONNA OPEN THIS CONTROLLER AND CLEAN THE BUTTONS. THEN IT WONT STICK ANYMOAR.

so i opened it up and it was the most disgusting inside.

i am never buying another used controller ever. :'c I usually buy my stuff new but I was late to the ps2 land and I got it used at Gamestop like a year ago I guess. The dust and grime inside the controller was nothing like I'd seen. I don't know if they rolled the thing in dirt at some point or not??

i mean look at these, and how it just gets worse:
first glance inside. note the dust on the cord inside the controller.
gross analogue stick
THE GROSSEST BUTTON I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. q-tips would hardly pull the grime off that X button. I just..... HOW DO YOU EVEN MANAGE TO GET THIS MUCH SHIT CAKED INSIDE YOUR CONTROLLER!?

the most disgusting thing about this is that i realized i had been actually PLAYING GAMES WITH THIS MONSTER for this long without realizing how gross it was inside.

it took nearly 20 q-tips and almost 2 hours to clean that controller.

and if it doesn't fix my button sticking issues in Jak X I'm just gonna throw it against a wall.

eh oh what.

and another obsidian employee notices my plush.

how do i cope
