Dead PS2, Pinball and Back to the Future

Had just a few hours today to goof off, so I played some virtual Pinball and Tell Tale's Back to the Future: The Game on Xbox One; that is, after I discovered for sure that my PS2 wouldn't work. 

PS2 wouldn't boot a game I played on it not two weeks ago. It must be the laser. I may look into the possibility of just thoroughly cleaning it to see if that works, but I've already dusted carefully, so I'm not confident that will do anything. My next step is to trade in every PS2 game I don't absolutely have to have and try and get another PS2. I'll never get another silver slim model like I have now. I'm very annoyed. Only the controller will be usable. 

So I played some virtual Pinball on The Pinball Arcade on Xbox One. I played my 1979 released tables again, Gorgar, Genie and Paragon. Then I played the freebee one they give you, who's name I forget at the moment, because Mark was playing it and I wanted to compete a little. I got a few more top five high scores on the local leaderboards, but that's not saying much. These tables are hard. 

Then I wasn't up for anything like the freebee's on Xbox Live today, Zombi (used to be called ZombiU the Wii-U launch game, I believe) and Army of Two, so I played some Back to the Future: The Game and started chapter three. The story in this is really good. I'm in another timeline where Doc has become a kind of big brother totalitarian leader. I have to misbehaive in order to get an audience with him. Marty's girlfriend has gone all punk and hates him. It's interesting. 

That's all. More tomorrow.

I'm sorry about your PS2. There's a shitload of great games on it that just haven't been remastered or ported, or even backwards compatible with this new generation. Sucks.

There were a bunch of PS2 games put on PSN for the PS3. I'm thinking of hooking that up and seeing if that part of the store is still in existence. I hope there's nothing weird about logging into PS3 and PS4 with the same account. I'm not sure how Sony handled the transition.
