Abused Dual Shock 2 Refuge Thread

We all do it. We all regret it, but we still do it.
The best way to get it out is to just... share your anger.

how'd that happen?

 

[XzifT]

Your analog button says "Anal"

. *Dashes off to scratch out 'og' on his Controller. *

That's not a Photochop job either.
With a modelling knife, you can make it look like nothing was there.
Only one person who ever came over to my house actually noticed it.

CMR3 is fun. But I never got past Championship 2 which was in Spain. Im gonna buy it again and shark it!

BTW, my average of controller breaking in 2 months is about 3...

 

[ph4t3]

what exactly did u do to your controller? did u like slam it on the ground or something?

 

[Street Fighter]

Various places.
The floor. The wall. My knee. My forehead. My fist.

OH! Hold on I think it might still be in my paper shredder garbage can.

Edit: Yeah it was still there.
Time for the 'after' pics...

Damn I have to give props to the designer/engineers that made this controller, it's pretty solid.. If it goes through all that and you just tape it back together and it still works that's pretty damn good.

 

[Cosmic]

OMFG...and it's still works.****

 

[ph4t3]

man, thats pretty crazy

 

[Redsuns86]

and i thought my impitent PSone joystick was a big deal

 

[Darin]

SONY needs to make a Metal or steel controller....

If it still works, why has it been in my garbage can for like 3 months?

You know what sucks about the newer DS2's, it's almost impossible to put back together when you've dismantled it. Or maybe it was just me being cackhanded, but I did manage to take apart the older DS2's and the old DS pads with no problems.

I wish I still had my first DS, bought in 1998 sometime. It died in 2001 after a dodgy re-soldering job. It looked so ghetto though, it was hillarious. Well not hillarious, but err ghetto.

Edit: Ha! i'm not the only one who uses electrical tape to fix his controllers.

I have this tendency to crush them in my hands by putting pressure on the sides.
It breaks the little stems that the screws go into
I tried reparing it with glue once, but it screwed up and I ended up breaking it more.

Crush them, in your hands?

I know what your talking about with the stems that the screws go into. They are the first things to break when you throw the controller at the wall a little to hard.

I've thrown away all my duff pads though, I just have one DS and a transparent blue DS2. Which I am not going to dammage, I have made a vow.

Must not, dammage pad.

Ever.

Seriously.

No biting either.

Yup.

I second that.

 

[Street Fighter]

Must... not...

 

[XzifT]

..I know the controller is sexually stimulating, but you mustn't give it deep throat...

 

[Street Fighter]

Uuuhhhuh-huh huh huh, he said "but" HUHUHhuh huh huhuh.

Heh-heheh heheheh heheh yeah heheh and "give" heheheh heheheh heh.

Huh-huh uhhh, you dumbass.

 

[ph4t3]

hey, i've got that blue controller too

i dont know what it is, but i've never broken a controller before, except once i spilled some sugary candy thing in my n64 controller and the R button got screwed up

i guess im just lucky

I think I noticed you had a blue one in that other thread about the new wheel. I need to get me one of them, well after i've finished paying for my car.

 

[DoZeRxXx]

you guys get too into games. if you throw it, why at a wall, why not at the couch. [sarcasm]its all the couch's fault for messing you up, look at the angle you have to sit in and and..[/sarcasm]

do you guys ever notice that the controllers that come with the ps does not break. its cheaper buying 2 ps2's instead of replacing the controllers all the time (well that might just be me cuz i dont take a sledge hammer to the controller)

what do u mean its cheaper buying 2 ps2's?

 

[Street Fighter]

It's more efficient to smash a single PS2 console and realize how stupid it is to blame things other than yourself, than to smash and replace several controllers.

Plus, you'll have a spare controller in case you bounce your main controller off your hardwood floor and 'accidentally' destroy it.

 

[ph4t3]

i guess

 

[BMWrules]

it's made in china. enough said.
