Good luck Leo, I'm wishing you the best.

Best of luck to you, Leo.  I'm sure, in the end, you'll pull through just fine.

So gaminggeek doesn't like gaming anymore. Well then that sucks.

It's not that I don't like it, I just can't be bothered. If I get a PS4, without a Vita I'll barely be able to use it. Even with offscreen play I still haven't completed Deus Ex or even played more than 15 minutes of AC4 on Wii U. I have Halo 4, Skyrim, Zelda ALBW, Sleeping Dogs and Fire emblem, Phoenix Wright DD unplayed. I can't see anything on PS4 that really interests me outside of The Last of Us. Cinematic games interest me less. Since I've never owned a PS, the associated franchises hold no sway for me, cause I've never experienced them. Killzone getting 7/10s, Infamous SS being called boring etc. EA sports games can suck my dick.

I guess the ever shrinking lineup of games on U coupled with my wrist problems earlier this year have just enabled me to play less and care less. I always seem to get into this Animal Crossing addiction before something breaks it and I can't go back to it. Last time it was Oblivion, this time it was wrist pain. I can see myself playing Mario Kart and X, I'll probably get bored of Smash quick. Maybe W101 I'll play but offscreen it's like ass because  you can't use the touch screen to draw.

I'm more into passive entertainment these days, where I don't have to do anything. Anime is taking up my time.

It's kinda hard to stay positive through this latest catastrophe. My **birth** mother has gone off the deep end. She's had a complete and utter psychotic break. One week she was relatively normal, the next she was dropping in unexpectedly on people our family hasn't spoken to in over 20 years, she's been buying furniture that she doesn't even need and it's piling up in her condo, along with trash and dirt. I can't keep up with it, cleaning people can't keep up with it. She keeps on saying there's nothing wrong, but there obviously is. She's dropping weight to the point she is almost skeletal, she is up to all hours of the night...

...best **worst** of all, three weeks ago she bought a brand new car. A week and a half ago she totalled the brand new car. Last Friday, I spent 14 hours in the city for work, then 6 hours in the hospital while she was taken care of for 3 fractured ribs and bruises all over.

I am powerless to do anything right now, unless I call the police and say she is a danger to herself or others and she would then have to be physically restrained and brought in for evaluation. It's pathetic, until she kills herself or someone else, she is considered to be free to do what she wishes, unless I call the cops on her myself.

I seem to be able to calm her when I am with her to the point she is almost normal, but I can't be with her 24/7 and she won't agree there's anything wrong.

This may be the thing that breaks me, or drives me to insanity...

...it apparently runs in the family.

Blegh, I just lost my smartphone/had it stolen from me.  I only bought it 9 months ago to replace another one I lost.  

Which pales in comparision to what Leo is going through, I wish you the best of luck!

But still, stupid smartphone...

^Sucks about the phone..

It's a terrible, heartbreaking thing to deal with.

If that list is true then that would be awesome for Nintendo.

I would love GCN games on the Virtual Console and Star Fox U.

I remember the collectable Pepsi cans around this time. My older sister graduated the year it came out so we had a lot of those cans for her graduation party.
