Come on guys it isn't rocket science, but you do need a microscope and some filler.


All you have to do is reprogram the game in binary using a needle to make new little holes in the disk and covering the old ones with filler.

Can you use a needle to turn PAL into NTSC? I could use that.
Yeah you just gotta make sure you calibrate the bits to the right laser frequency

Hey guys, I got a copy of Katamari Damacy and did what you said, and now the game won't boot up, should I go take it to get resurfaced or am I SOL?

It takes some practice. Still, any damage done by the needle can be undone by the needle - if you are skilled enough.

You should practice on CDs before you move on to DVDs. A lot more room for mistakes. Also, sewing fundamentals are an integral part of this - don't forget the basics. God help you if you've never even sewn with fabrics before.

With time, you will become a haberdasher game master.

Did you use a green marker around the edges to increase the harmonic reflectivity index?

This actually doesn't work unless you first scrub the disc with high-end toothpaste. You need to make tiny microscopic grooves for the marker to adhere correctly.

Oh, and use forest green, not sea green. Makes all the difference.

Don't forget to buy gold-tipped monster cables to improve your audio. I also hear the feng shui will improve your video clarity.

Created from the blood of your first born, forged in the fires of Mount Doom. This helps the spectral fonon frequency of the audio calibrate itself more efficiently to the hyperbolic couplings inside your speakers.

At least I assume that's what they do with monster cables. That's why they're so expensive, right?

Trust me, I have all my speakers coupled with monster cables. They make my music sound so alive the salesperson said that it would also improve my sperm count and enlarge my penis if I took these pills twice a day and perform these, exercises. It hasn't started working yet, but he said to keep trying and it will eventually work.
