(Pretty blasphemous, turn away now if you get offended by blasphemous stuff)
1. You shall have no other consoles besides Me.
This one's pretty easy. If you've got a PS2, you'll know why, it should satisfy all your needs. Why worship elsewhere when this one does it all for you?
2. You shall not make for yourself an copy, or any likeness of what is on a disc or in a manual.
Piracy is bad, no matter how cool it looks. I know games are expensive, but that's just because we're poor and not because developers are greedy. These guys spend YEARS working at getting a game 'just right' for us to play, do you think they really don't want you to play it?
3. You shall not take the name of the Sony PS2 in vain.
This includes such phrases as 'Sony PS-Poo' and 'Sony GheyStation'. So the Nintys are damned already.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Scholars aren't 100% sure of this one. Does it mean we have to make sure we always play our PS2s on a Sunday? If so it's probably the hardest commandment of the lot to break.
5. Honour your father and your mother.
Very important this one. With new games coming out every week, someone's got to pay for them. So keep your parents sweet at all times to guarantee that your gaming collection continues to grow with more supplies of AAA titles.
6. You shall frag.
Basically, keep a copy of GTA3, TimeSpitters, Agent Under Fire, State of Emergency, Unreal Tournament, Quake, or any other game that involves the willful destruction of others at hand and put it to good use.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
Should you ever feel the temptation to even so much as glance at another console manufacturer's joypad, dig out that copy of Rez and immerse yourself with a tightly held rumbling dual shock analogue controller until those naughty feelings go away.
8. You shall not steal.
This, scholars believe, relates soley to the acquisition of games and consoles for your collection. Titles like Thief and the Grand Theft Auto series don't actually come under the heading of 'stealing', because you are effectively levelling up your character via the acquisition of others property, which of course is an entirely different thing.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
This is fine, unless you catch him trying to enter a cheat code on Pro Evo whilst you were out in the kitchen getting some cheese on toast during half-time, in which case you can accuse him of anything you like.
10. You shall not covet you neighbour's house; you shall not covet your neighbour's wife or his male servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbour.
We're currently running this one through a Bill of Human Rights Act at the European Court of Justice to get it repealed. So would you if you saw my neighbour's wife. Rar.

RAR! RAR RAR RAR!
lol..
Ah, that word holds so much meaning and comedy for me... I can't wait for next time.
Sorry, er, very true writings there.
