Damn you static electricity
Last night I was playing Star Ocean: till the end of time and I moved over to reach a remote control real quick. When I picked the controller back up I got this massive shock from it (the humidity's been real low here lately).
It killed my controller 
Now I have to use my crappy backup guest controller....feels all weird and stuff in my hand, and the analog controller is to touchy.
I guess this isn't as uncommon and you'd think, seems to be a known issue. I guess I'm just lucky I didn't fry the PS2 itself....oh my lord the amount of suck that would generate would affect the earth's gravitational constant.

That's what they make whole house humidifiers for! Don't you have one on your furnace? Just think, a little water could have saved you a controller and may save the machine in the future......

Yeah, I installed one before we even moved in. They just don't work that well, and I suspect that the several holes in the ceiling, crappy windows and missing trim isn't helping keep any humidity in the house at all.
