For the coGMing thing, usually I just ask pkayers I have RPed with before that I got along well with and talk to on an IM service. It's one of the fun parts of RPing, getting to know people. It comes with time, but don't be afraid to be social! The best games on the site have healthy OOC banter and friendly player relationships. Get to know a few people!

As for the whole hooking up the PS2 thing, maybe just YouTube some videos and what not. :)
