....I did it. I fucking did it. By all rights, cracking open my PS2 had to be one of the dumbest things I could try to do, because the odds of me having to buy a new PS2 by the time I was done were sky high. But I unscrewed that sucker, and (using a few online guides for help) I dusted the inside, cleaned the little laser light reader, and put it all back together. And HOT DAMN, I can finally play God of War! And the first Xenosaga again!

Before most of you say, "I could do that when I was 5", shut up. It's a victory for me, okay? I did a little dance when I was done. Let me have my moment...

And I'm done. Hahhh, that was good.
