Coffee spill = Close call for my Turbo Duo

[ceti alpha]

I was doing some cleaning yesterday and had moved my Turbo Duo to get it out of the way. I keep my Duo on the floor right now as I don't have a proper set up in my place.  Well this morning I had my coffee sitting on my window sill directly above where I usually keep the Duo and I managed, in all my clumsiness, to knock it over. The coffee spilled everywhere and my Duo, had it been where it normally is, would have been soaked.

Thanks the gods. 

This just proved to me that I have to get my baby up from off the floor. It's no way to raise my child. It needs a crib. 

[Turbo D]

wow, thats awesome that the duo was moved. Its funny how things work out like that, haha. I'll let that be a lesson for myself as well 

[ceti alpha]

Yeah, and the whole time I had it on the floor I knew it was just a matter of time before I accidentally step on it or something. I should really listen to myself more. heh

Jules: This was Divine Intervention! You know what "divine intervention" is?
Vincent: Yeah, I think so. That means God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Jules: Yeah, man, that's what it means. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Vincent: I think we should be going now.
Jules: Don't do that! Don't you f*cking do that! Don't blow this shit off! What just happened was a f*cking miracle!
Vincent: Chill the f*ck out, Jules, this shit happens.
Jules: Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn't just happen.
Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
Jules: We should be f*ckin' dead now, my friend! We just witnessed a miracle, and I want you to f*cking acknowledge it!
Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we leave now?

I can't do the whole video-game-system-on-the-floor thing. All my shit has to be nicely shelved at all times, even during use.

Word - especially if it's a heat trapping carpeted floor.  Shelves are cheap, ceti alpha, so treat your Duo a little better (or its controllers might try to strangle you).

haha. It's giving me the evil red eye as we speak.

I keep my duo on the floor too, I used to keep it on a stool next to my bed, but then one day I tripped over the wires and the duo fell off, fortunately the Duo was ok, after that I decided to keep it on the floor for the time being, until I get shelving and my extension cord.

[ceti alpha]

until I get shelving and my extension cord.

Yeah, that's really my main problem. Damn you NEC for making those short controller cords. Even just another foot of wire would help.

yeah, there really is no excuse for that.

Don't you wish that you had a five pack of ultra sexy wireless controllers?  Then you could be cool, just like me!

Yes. I want to be cool. Where do I get these ultra cool wireless contraptions?

[nat]

I got mine from a former member here named offsidewing. Necromancer bought the rest of the set. So basically, neither of us can be of any help to you since:

 a) offsidewing is no longer a member here.

 b) Unless offsidewing is the business of manufacturing these, I highly doubt he has any more anyway.

That said, you can always ask around here. Toshi @ Dream Stars Japan on eBay always has some of the wireless controllers in stock. Last I checked he had a couple brand new ones, even. But you'd still need to find a receiver to be able to use them. Far be it for me to recommend eBay, but Toshi is one of the few "store" sellers there that I will buy from. Unfortunately, he's in Japan so it's usually a good idea to buy a few items in bulk from him to make the shipping cost worth it for you. He always has great deals on loose HuCards.

[Turbo D]

I got mine from dreamstars. It was expensive and so was the shipping. It was fun playing Ys with it though, haha.

[nat]

Some of his stuff is overpriced, some is average, and some (especially the loose HuCards) is really cheap. But it's tough to justify the shipping unless you are buying some kind of bulk.

That said, you will not find a finer store seller on eBay. Well, 16-bit is pretty good, too.
