Woot, had a little gathering on the weekend to celebrate my awesomeness.
Much meat and bbq fun was had on saturday. Big thanks to all my friends.
And the reason for that is that I got a PS2 slimline!
Oh yeah...I guess everyone got sick of hearing meboast & act superior talk about how I had never owned a console. And I even got futurama for it as well.
heh heh :)
Unfortunately I didn't have a memory card, a problem that was easily rectified on Sunday. [Randomly ran into Azusachan as well, hooray!].
Also picked up We (heart) Katamari & GTA:San Andreas as well. I should be set for a while, if I could get the console out of the frigging box!
I cracked it open and got scared after reading the manual.
DON'T PUT ON THE FLOOR
DON'T PUT NEAR MAGNETIC SOURCES AND SPEAKERS
ENSURE THAT ONLY PROPER NETWORK CABLES ARE USED
THE FIFTY BAJILLION SETTINGS FOR DVD PLAYBACK
THE CONFUSING DVD MENU SYSTEM
etc etc...
Since both tv's are fairly heavily used in my house, I'm thinking about playing my ps2 via my monitor. It's either that or get a tv for my room. So can anyone help me with this? What do I need to do? Any tips/help/websites would be great.
1. Your name spelled backwards?
Siuol
2. Last incoming call on your phone?
Mum
3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer?
The Cure - In Between days
4. What's your favorite restaurant?
The one where hot women drape themselves all over you, I think it's called Fantasy Island and features a midget and that scramanga dude
5. Last time you swam in a pool?
Ummm...new years 2005-2006
6. Britney Spears is a skank. Agree or disagree?
Really don't care, but she's sure showing off her southern roots with her mum phase now...
oh yeah...stereotypes are fun :P
7. How many kids do you want?
Never really thought about it. I guess 2.5 is the norm for australia, but then there's the population crisis to think about...I dunno, but i'd sure like to attempt a lot
8. Type of music you dislike most?
Well since I'm apparantly pretty eclectic I'd have to say.. uh... christian music. Thanks South Park for telling me what to think.
9. What was the last thing you bought?
Crisps from the vending machine. healthy and cheap, yum!
10. Have you ever ridden on a bike?
No. IN fact I don't know how to learn. Someone teach me!
11. Does someone have a crush on you?
*removed extremely self depricating comment*
I hope so, it'd make my chances of getting attached better :P
12. Ever made a prank phone call?
Nope. Well...maybe....once...when I was younger and more foolish....and my mates were there...and trying to impress a girl ;) rofl
13. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving?
sky diving, more fun. bungee jumping you're stuck on the end of a rope and left ot dangle. Sky diving is more cool....plus you can flap your arms like Jaws.

barefoot. They're air shoes...try and build those, giant shoe corporations!
15. Do you have a garden?
Yes. Do I visit it often? No.
Does the "grass" look great until you get close and realise it's all weeds? Yes
16. What's your favorite comic strip?
Ohhh...tough one. I'll cheat and say comic instead. It's "True Story Swear to God" by Tom Beland. I highly urge everyone to read it.
But if it's comic strip you want, I guess you can't go psat Calvin and Hobbes, hailed as one of the best comic strips ever, though personally I completely missed out on it when it was being published.
Far Side's good too

No, though I did have to sing it in primary school. Everyone knows the first verse for Australia, but hardly ever the second.

Hmm..I'll cheat and say the doco "The Aristocrats"

chicken I guess...after all everything tastes just like it :P

chips. Never really saw the appeal of popcorn myself.
And does this question mean chips or crisps?

Technically that'd be Nezui since I work next to him on nearly every weekday. He drives me up the wall, I drive him up the wall, it's a great working friendship. (I secretly loath him) :P
23. What color is your name?
Octarine, the colour of magic.
Ok I chose that mainly becuase it sounded fannish cool, whilst an actual fluorescent greenish-yellow purple combo probably wouldn't look all that great.

24. What did your last text message you received say?
Probably something from chris saying ok. Ok for what, I leave unsaid to be more mystetious and cooler sounding.

Does anyone remember Fido Dido? Or that red spot thingy with the yoyo?
Ah...the 80's.
don't care, though I did once order 7-up purely for the nostalgia factor.
But leaning more towrds Sprite.
36. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school?
Yes. In fact every school I went to. Private all the way. Hmm...let's see, in my mixed primary school in Scotland, it was mainly green and grey (i think). Then brisbane primary school here was blue, then my victorian primary school here was brown and yellow/slight orange. Then my single sex High school was maroon and blue. And I came to uni with no socialising skills with the opposite sex. >.<
37. Last thing you ate?
banana, after dinner fruit/vegetable (?)
38. Ever thrown up in public?
In public? No.
In toilets, yes
39. Would you rather find true love or be a millionaire?
true love.
money doesn't hold a large appeal for me. Or perhaps I just haven't learned the value of a doller :P

Omg you haven't ridden a bike!? :o Next time if someone has one around we'll guide u thru the process :D
When I went there, they still had 1 or 2 copies left.
50 bucks, good price.
===
i demand plenty of shin and knee pads :)
If you were in Canberra, I could give you my old TV. I bought a new one so I don't need it anymore and nobody wants it XD; oh well.
So I'd have to get some type of box to lie in between my monitor and computer, and have the ps2 plug into it? Be like some type of desktop switcher?
What's the condition of the old tv?
As for the speakers, you'll have to pick up a cable adaptor to do it. Gimme a tic... an RCA to 3.5mm plug adaptor. Less than $10 from say Dick Smiths. That'll change the PS2's audio plugs into one like the computer speaker has.
Now, the final problem is... getting that plug into the speakers. I'm guessing your speakers just have a cable dangling out with the plug on the end, and no hole for the PS2 to plug in... THEREFORE, you need another dongle! A 3.5mm female to female adaptor will then let you plug the PS2 in on one side, and the computer speakers on the other. Let there be sound~!
Hopefully the whole setup won't break the bank. XD This is the best way of doing it as far as I can tell. Maybe there is a magical elf out there that'll do it all for you and bake you cookies, but I think this'll work just as well.. *shrug* (I've been going through the whole home theatre setup thing recently)
As for the TV, it's in great condition. It's just that everybody I know already has a TV, lol.
how about tv's?
Meh...probably go with a tv instead.
How much for postage?
free tv's a free tv... :P
