Random Gaming Thoughts

[GSZX1337]

I tried to play through Unreal Tournament 3's campaign but ultimately gave up. It's just too boring. There's no fun in playing the game with bots. I eventually said "Fuck it." and just watched the cutscenes on YouTube. I'm glad I didn't slog through an entire campaign to see the end of that story.

I have so many random games I dont even know what I have. I was cleaning my room and found out I had a complete boxed copy of Metroid on NES. I even have a few doubles of some PC games.

I know the feeling, on UT2004. Same.

Is fixing a busted joystick tough?

I have one that won't go "down".

Hotline Operator: "Hotline?"
Andy: "Hi, yes, I'm calling because, uh, it's been more than four hours and your ad said to call if it's been more than four hours?"
Hotline Operator: "Well, how much of the medicine have you taken, sir?"
Andy: "Uh, I haven't taken any, but your ad said that if you've had an erection for more than four hours, you call."
Hotline Operator: "Well, you're only supposed to call if you've taken the medicine."
Andy: "Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I must not have heard that part."
Hotline Operator: "Yes, If you haven't taken the medicine, uh, you don't call."
Andy: "Right, right, right, right, I'm sorry, right. There's um-- So, there's nothing you can do? I mean, I just don't wanna..."
Hotline Operator: "There's nothing I can do. I am in Bombay, India."
Andy: "Oh, okay. No, not you personally. I just don't want-- I just don't want to have an erection anymore."
Hotline Operator: "Well, you know, you could have sex."
Andy: "Okay, yup."
Hotline Operator: "That's one thing people do when they have an erection."
Andy: "Yeah, that's not an option. I don't have sex."
Hotline Operator: "Uh, okay, well, then you can masturbate."
Andy: "I'd rather not masturbate."
Hotline Operator: "If you'd like the erection to go away, you can light a match, blow out the flame and put the hot ember on your wrist and that will focus the brain elsewhere and you will lose your erection."
Andy: "Really, that'd work?"
Hotline Operator: "Take your finger and flick your testicle and if you do that till it hurts your erection will go away."
Andy: "Okay, alright."
Hotline Operator: "It sounds unpleasant and it is. It is a trick we use in India."
Andy: "Okay, those are all good pieces of advice. I really appreciate it."

So this was my first time attempting to fix an n64 controller. I took it all apart, cleaned everything out, and reinforced the base of the joystick with a tiny sliver of ducttape then I greased up some of the parts that rub together. Put it all back together (the hard part. Theres a spring involved which always makes it more complicated, and if you don't have everything turned and situated just the right way it wont fit. this was easily the longest part of the process.) And am currently testing it on Goldeneye. It definetly works better than It did now. Its not 'working like new' by any means, but its playable. I'll still end up buying a new one down the road, but this at least lets me use the one ive got for now.
