Yesterday (Friday) I spent a good chunk of my day hanging out with pal and frequent Fools Play box office girl Leah. She brought over her PS2 and that game with a Japanese name that roughly translates to "Glob of Souls" in which you push a sticky ball around that picks up anything it touches, getting bigger and bigger in the process. It was crazy fun. I had never actually played anything on the PS2 before. I'd never even touched one before.
We played one quick game of Mario Party 6. They've made six of these games now and still haven't solved the completely lame problem of when you aren't playing with 4 human-controlled characters you have to wait around and watch the full animations of the computer-controlled characters, even when they have prolonged battles with each other. Why can't you press a button and skip to the results of such events? Because the people who made the game are grade-A f--ckups.
Then we went to lunch at The Rosewood, where I had lasagna. Much better.
Later that evening I watched the pilot episode of Firfly on the Sci-Fi channel. I had only ever before seen one episode of the show. I know, I know, I'm supposed to be some kinda sci-fi/videogaming geek, and yet I'd never played a PS2 or seen more than one episode of Firefly. I feel like a failure. But not in a bad way.

I have contemplated buying a PS2 JUST for Katamari Damacy.

Yay, fun. It is true that you looked at the PS2 as if it were some foreign object that you weren't quite sure what to do with.
They're coming out with a Katamari 2, Minna Daisuki Katamari Damashii (Everyone Loves Katamari Damacy).
