Wow. Here's an amusing anecdote.

So apparently in my sleep last night, I announced to my girlfriend "These are great!"

 

She wakes up and goes "What?"

 

I reply: "These 5200 paddle controllers!"

 

Needless to say, she was a bit irritated that I woke her up for this. I have no recollection of it. I was looking at them on the net last night, I don't actually have them.

You should have said "Oh PAM you get me so hot. Once you have black, you never go back"

[Recycled]

Since she was already up....you should of asked her to try your joystick.

Haha. That's a little hard to do when I'm asleep... or so I'd think, but try telling my subconscious brain what to make me say when it's busy babbling about paddles.

Congratulations. You are now dreaming about this wild hobby. You are now officially inducted into being a Classic Gamer.

 

I always hate it when I have a dream about me being out in the wild (Flea markets, garage sales, etc), and I find a bunch of great games (and really rare ones), and then I wake up, and realize it was just a dream.

I also distinctly remember dreaming about driving controllers. I think they didn't work, and I think I was pissed. Odd, and that doesn't clash with what I apparently said out loud.

Maybe your subconscious was trying to be sarcastic and it just came out wrong?
