Mom is driving home for the first time since her operation.
Now I know what a parent feels like the first time they let their teen-ager borrow their car.
lol, glad to hear she is doing well.
I played this, this weekend:
__________________________
**Does anyone else see a bunch of tiny asses in this New Leaf "Peach" Tree? Or is it just me?**
**3DS is now home to the best Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and Shin Megami!**
__________________________
Aww, I wanna see the ass tree.
Picture not showing or are you on your phone?
I'm playing Earthbound. I'm enjoying it a little more than I have during my previous attempts (which go back around 18 years or so). The Wii U's "create a save state anywhere" make the slow parts of this game significantly more endurable. I'm further along than I've ever made it before, but my interest is starting to fade again. I'm going to stick with it for a while, but it'll be hard. This Thursday Harvest Moon for the SNES comes out on the VC, so by law of fandom I have to buy it again. And on Saturday I'm grabbing Pikmin 3. So we'll see how much further I get in this.
And I've been filling in some gaps with Order Up and Game & Wario.
Not showing.
It says "Please do not hotline images."
David Jaffe Kickstopped
That's interesting. I'm seeing more and more kickstarter projects fail or become abandoned. I think it's safe to say the newness and novelty of group funding wear off. I think that's a good thing too. It's starting to get abused by a lot of groups and individuals who have other funding options available, but prefer to eliminate risking their own money or reputation (I'm talking to you Zach Braff!).
And I'm posting this picture, because it makes me happy.
How 'bout now?
It'd be nice if Tim Schafer had failed too. But it's Tim Schafer.

Foolz, can you confirm for me if you see tiny asses in my tree now?
I can indeed. 3 of them.
EXCELLENT!
So. They look like asses to you too?
I was kinda starting to wonder if it was just me...

Heads up to those of you who have not yet beaten The Last of Us: The latest Game Informer has a screen shot that is a major spoiler. This is the one with Zelda/Watchdogs/ FIFA on the front cover.
So Foolz, you beat that platformer boss in Retrocity?
The boss with the ball and chain? Second hardest part of the game (sweat bomber level was worse). There's a trick to it that makes it relatively easy once you figure it out.
I don't see asses, but I do see three dickheads sticking our of that tree.. what's going on over there?
It's a cocktree.
