#33. Gang members frequently all look the same, and often have the same names.

Next time you see gang members on the street, roll down the window and yell out " Yo, Kid, Dookie, Red, & Griff ! " If you don't get props, at least they will think those peeps are in the car with you. And thats a guaranteed way to keep your hubcaps ! :thumb:

there was a shirt at Hot Topic with those listed, or very similar to it.. I never got a chance to snag one in my size though... damn mediums.

No wonder i keep breaking my controllers! :mwaha:

And no...don't look at me funny. I don't THROW them across the room. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/wink.gif

My fingers just seem to destroy the rubbery surfaces from putting too much pressure on them. Maybe I just need custom made stainless steel controllers! :lol:

I just broke the second PS2 controller now i need 2 new ones :irked: :argh:

Well, now I feel better knowing I am not the only one! :mwaha:

Did yours stop working or did you also ruin the rubber parts? I tried fixing mine with tape but it never worked. I have friends who still have the original controllers that came with their systems and have lasted them for like 3-4 years. I buy new controllers every 3-4 months. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

My original Gamecube controller lasted til about a year or two ago... it didn't break, but the left control stick got so loose, a lot of games that required sensitive movements were unplayable. That's my one gripe with those controllers... the stick isn't built so that it won't get so loose like that.

That's one thing I love about the Xbox's controllers... they're quite durable and the most intuitive (IMO) of all the current gen systems.

I envy you, Roem! See...all the controllers I destroy still WORK in the sense that the control stick and other parts respond perfectly. Problem is, when you are using it without that protective rubber surface, it KILLS your fingers. The times I tried using it like that not only did I lose precision but also ended up with a burning blister on my thumb. I have purchased both original and generic controllers with similar luck. My current one lights up and is sharp looking, but the Z button is now messed up, although it still works if you press real hard. So far the rubber is intact and I got it back in Dec.

I think my next controller will be wireless.

The wavebird is gooooood. If you haven't tried that one, I'd definitely recommend it. I don't know why, but it's lasted much better than the regular ones.

And like I always told one of my nephews who's another "controller cruncher" :lol:, relax and use a softer touch ;) My father too... he flails around like a wildman when he plays... :laugh:

Oh it's not easy to relax and use a softer touch when you are playing on Multiplayer mode against a bunch of people and you have to keep up with your winning rep. :mwaha:

LOL! Too funny! :lol:

And too true. ;)
