The dock is really solid, apparently ASUS were the first guys to do the transformer range and perfect it. It's better than I thought, really solid, smooth hinge and easy release. Samsung ativs have docking problems. The only problem I have is that sometimes with the keyboard the cursor will jump, which is really annoying but I hear the driver update fixes that. And tbh you will use the touchscreen a lot more than the mouse or cursor.

I've decided I am going with either a Toyota Tacoma or a Nissan Titan for my next vehicle. Japanese trucks are the way to go.

I'm starting to warm up to the 2DS. My thought when first hearing the name and seeing it was: . However, having looked into it more now, I actually kinda like it. Yeah, it's fugly, but it appears to be a more comfortable to hold, which is my main gripe about my 3DS XL (most uncomfortable handheld I have ever used). The 2DS also has larger shoulder buttons, which are similar to that of a console gampad. I rarely take my 3DS XL anywhere, preferring to play it at home, so its reduced portability isn't issue for me at all. I can easily live without the 3D since I rarely bother with it, and as Aspro mentioned, the smaller screens would look nicer than on my XL. I don't know if I'll buy one or not, but it isn't as bad as I first thought. Comfort > Appearance.

Reggie: Earthbound Wii U VC hasn't changed thinking

I can honestly say I can no longer tell if Reggie and company are stupid or just full of shit and don't want to release any up and coming plans. They've said themselves that they've been very happy with the reception Earthbound got. Of all the VC titles in the eShop only Super Mario World and Super Metroid (which was a $.30 title) have been reviewed more (the only real indication of purchases made), and it's still being bought/reviewed at a steady pace.  There is a very clear indication that people want more Mother.  

I posted this one and no one seemed to be familiar with it, but fuck it I'm doing it again since a big update has happened regarding this little event:

A video game is being made for the Mysterious Cities of Gold (though technically I think the game is based on the new series of it, that supposedly is quite good). Since the cartoon is French, they were only going to release the game in French markets. However there's enough people like me around the world that fondly remember the show and wanted it in English and various other languages. So a kickstarter is going on to fund the translation. It's only $30K so it seems reasonable, and at the $15 donation mark you get a digital copy. Seems like a no brainer. So if you remember the show and want a copy of it yourself for PC, Wii U, or 3DS go here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438269196/mysterious-cities-of-gold-the-video-game

I have the original on my watchlist.

In Japan it's still exclusive. lawls

I'm watching Total Recall (remake).

Another thing worth mentioning about the 2DS's design is the screen fully folded out is how my son has always played the DS and 3DS. I don't think I've ever seen him use it at that slightly tilted angle. I don't know if that's just my DNA McNugget or if all younger kids do that. Travo? Steel? What about your kids?

Nope, alway completely open.  I think the 2DS is excellent for children, especially younger ones. My son always plays in 2D because we make him, but a lot of times, the slider moves upwards as he plays.  For that price point, I'd pick up a 2DS in a heartbeat if I didn't already own the 3DS.

I would tie Kate Beckinsale to my headboard and do beastly things to her.

I'm kind of curious if it would still hold up today. It was a good little (globe spanning) adventure. I'd have to think it'd still be good.
