A sad, sad happening. Glad I still have mine.

It did have a pretty good run, as far as i'm aware. Plus it had a lot of cool games and was pretty ok in terms of power/capacity.

♥ Note: I'm no longer the author of the fanfiction "Eva Brothers from Cybertron". I passed authorship to a friend (Lia Dospetti) who's turning it into her own work, while still maintaining homages to NGE and Transformers, as well as Star Trek. I still draw the artworks, though, and I have some fragments of the old fanfic here.

NOOO!

3D printing of electronics can't come fast enough. Now I'll be paranoid about the physical state of my precious. My PS2 is quite possibly my most-played console of all time. I have it right beside my PS3 and still play it regularly. Just two days ago I finally beat Dark Cloud, using CodeBreaker cheats to speed the process up cuz I was getting tired of the game -- codes which obviously would not work if I had been playing the game on my PS3 because PS3 allows no cheating!

Same here, although I can't say that I play it that regularly anymore. I may be tempted to pop in my old copy of Katamari Damacy or We (Heart) Katamari sometime soon, though.

Wish I still had mine. Played Dynasty Warriors on it all the time. I would need a CRT though to get the full nostalgic experience though. A big, silver one.

I remember playing GTA Vice City on my little purple TV, that or I'd be on my N64 playing Turok or GoldenEye, good times.

I never had the pleasure of playing Turok. That is something I would like to try eventually.

That system was a beast in profits, also my favorite system. It had the best library of games with the past decade. Shame I have't played it in a year, last game I remember playing on it was either Xenogears or Rogue Galaxy.

Japan doesn't have Hollande, also she doesn't need any presidential order, she just has to choice her nationality when she'll become 22 years old (both Russia and Japan follow jus sanguinis but Japan doesn't allow dual nationality).
