He brings home a copy of Resident Evil Dead Aim and shoves it in the PS2. A menu comes up asking gim to select a language. Fair enough.

NOTE: The menu WAS in colour

Ok, I'll carry on now:

He selects English (obviously) and another menu appears. He has to select 50Hz (PAL system) or 60Hz (NTSC system). He selects NTSC for some strange reason. He then alibrates the G-con 2 and the main menu appears. In a moody tone, he shouts my name through the house.

"COLIN! WHAT THE **** HAVE YOU DONE HERE?"

The main menu is in BLACK AND WHITE! ROFL!

That's when the argument starts. My bro's name is KEvin, and the argument was as follows:

Kevin: What have you done here?
Me: I did bagger all. I haven't used the PS2 in months.
Kevin: Then why is it in black and white?
Me: I dunno. What did you do?
Kevin: Nothing
Me: The you must've got a cruddy game
Kevin: It isn't the game. I did everything as I should've done. It must be your telly.

So I icle through the channels to see what is on telly.

BBC1: Colour
BBC2: Colour
ITV1: Colour
Ch 4: Colour
Ch 5: Colour but bad reception
Sky: Colour
AV (where the PS2 is tuned in): The game appears in black and white

Then the argument continues:

Me: It isn't the telly, because every other channel is in colour
Kevin: Then it must be your shoddy PS2.
Me: If it is, then it's something that YOU did because I haven't touched it in months.

I take his game out, put another one in, and surprise surprise, it's in colour.

Me: It's your game. No doutb about it. Everything else works ok. It's definately your game
Kevin: No it bloody well isn't
Me: Then why is it the only thing in black and white?
Kevin: But the menu at the start was in colour
Me: Then maybe the first bit is SUPPOSED to be in black and white?

The argument ends there, and he goes out with his girlfriend. I then reset the console, select English, Select PAL System (as it should be ROFL!), and calibrate the gun. Hey presto! It's in colour! Oh he's gonna get grief from me when he comes home!

HAHAHAHAHA!

You should tie him down, put matchsticks between his toes and light them.
