Hark... Depression looms...

I've avaoided all the spoilers, the magazines, I've played the demo to death and discovered hundreds of ways to dispose of a soldier... but I've done something really stupid!!

MGS2 arrives tomorrow through my letter box and in celebration, I have booked the day off work, but stupidly... I've just sold my TV and it's leaving me tomorrow evening!!

The thought of bringing myself to play MGS2 on the 14inch portable reduces me nearly to tears... The most awaited game in PS2 history, and I won't be able to play it on my glorious 25" TV...

The good news... I'm getting a new TV (Thomson 24WK25UG 24" 16/9 50Hz w/40watt virtual Dolby Surround @ £268.99), but not for at least a month!

So as of tomorrow morning, I'll be the only MGS2 owner in the UK who will have to spend his time just looking at the box!!

Prepare yourself for my first review tomorrow... MGS2 "the Box"...

Why oh Why dod I decided to sell my TV now!:-(

And you had no idea this was coming, your wife just announced that you were moving in 9 days.....eek!

>because of this, I had to sell the TV as it was too big for the new place!

What are you moving into, a rabbit hutch? ;D

>but she's allowed me to get a new one (only an inch smaller ans 16/9... you work it out?)...

That whole inch smaller makes all the difference.

Brilliant quote, I just wish I could come up with these when I needed them :D

The unseen turn of events came about when my wife announced that we were moving again in 9 days... because of this, I had to sell the TV as it was too big for the new place!, but she's allowed me to get a new one (only an inch smaller ans 16/9... you work it out?)...

The jedi force is sufferring from a cold at the moment!!

I could go an all day.... But I won't...
