Hey man, back up off my grill

Well, it's 11:20 a.m., and I have a few more minutes before I have to leave for work for a couple hours. There are probably more constructive things I could do with this narrow window of time, but I figured I'd make an entry, seeing as they've been so scarce lately

If all else fails I probably have a working Sega Genesis controller you can use.

Jerk. Fuck you and your seeing musicals crap. Damn you and your crazy ass socially functional activities and all that crazy ass shit.

The problem doesn't seem to be with the controller. We tried 4 different controllers in the 1st slot, and they all have the same problems; you have to wiggle the cord around to just the right point to get it to work properly, and then it malfunctions frequently--at random, or if it is moved at all. However, the second controller port works fine. Never having encountered such a problem, I don't know what the eff to do.

I'm sorry for being actively social. :'(

Not really. Being my friend, though, you're always invited if you care to join the "crew" as long as you're not sleeping from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. I beg you (and Steve, for that matter) not to be hesitant to call or IM me if you feel like hanging out.

It sounds as though it is perhaps missing a pin or some pins may be bent inside the port itself.

Which, if they're bent, is easily fixable but risky (use tweezers or something and straighten it, being exceptionally careful). If a pin is broken, that sucks mega balls.

The problem doesn't seem to be the pins. If any were bent, I wouldn't think they would fit in as normally as they do. If any were missing, I would think I would be able to tell. Looking at them, they don't seem rusty, dusty, dirty, or whatever.... Hence, the mystery.

You would be amazed what can happen with bent pins and shit fitting in the slot in spite of that.

A mystery indeed.
