Dinky update
May. 29th, 2008 08:19 pmNot too much to report. Got paid back for a big favor I did someone the last time I was stateside - nothing remotely illegal, don't worry - and I did something that five years ago I would have sworn I'd never do.
I got a game console. A Playstation 2, to be precise.
It's not what you think; what I was shopping for was a DVD player to play Region 2 disks, in case I ever wanted to poke my head into a video rental store (no Netflix here). I settled on the Playstation, frankly, because it's tiny. Smaller than a hardback book.
The only problem is, it didn't come with a proper DVD remote control, just a gamepad. And I can't seem to find a Playstation 2 DVD remote control in this country no matter where I go.
Ah well. Maybe next time I'm Stateside.
