<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Okay, I was at EB today, and they have a bunch of really good used games for sale. I spotted Devil May Cry for 17.99, so I grabbed it. Then I spotted The Bouncer for the same price. I didn't want to pay for both of them, but I noticed on the back that it said "1-4 Players" with a multi-tap. So I thought to myself, "Hey, I have 4 controllers and a multi-tap, so this might be a fun multi-player game." So, I had...
...put down Devil May Cry...
...and picked up The Bouncer. After paying for my games, I eventually went home. Shellie wanted to play something, too, so we decided to put in The Bouncer. I put the game in and started it up. I made sure everything was plugged in while we watched the intro.
After the intro, it said to hit Start. So I hit Start. It didn't Start.
I tried unplugging shit, plugging it back in, etc. No luck. I was beginning to think that there was something wrong with the game, but of course, it's the exact copy that everybody else has with the exact PS2 that everybody else has, so there's no way that this is a "hardware/software" issue. Eventually, I gave the manual to Shellie to figure out what was wrong, as I fucked with it some more. She spotted the following instruction in the manual:
"This game only works with the Playstation2 Dual Shock 2 controller. Playstation Dual Shock controllers will not work with this game."
WTF?!? When I bought my Playstation 2, it came with a PIECE OF SHIT GARBAGE controller, that had four seperate buttons, instead of a D-pad, for a digital controller. It's a requirement to get a MadCatz controller, as they are 10x better than the original one. So, sitting here, in my fourth controller slot was this wrapped-up original PS2 controller. And it's the <u><b>ONLY ONE</b></u> that will actually activate the Start button. I've tried plugging the other one back in after hitting Start, but alas, it won't work. WHAT'S THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE?!?? They both look the same.
Therefore, this game that advertises to be a four-player game is now a one-player one, and I have use this fucked up controller to boot. I took the game out and put in "Zone of the Enders", which I am enjoying now with my MadCatz controller. I plan on (trying to) return the game tomorrow.</div>

Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.
