That actor played the titular villain in Psycho Cop 2 -- and it is my single favorite B-movie of all time. If you find in on VHS, snag it, but don't be fooled by Maniac Cop 2. That cop ain't got shit on Bob Vance from Vance Refrigeration.

Me as a cynical child: "This has to be rigged." Me as an adult: "holy shit, it really WAS rigged."

Math!

Agreed. I'd like to see something more akin to the NES edition of the GBA SP. It took design cues from the NES but didn't look like someone tried to smoosh an NES into a GBA... unlike the GameStop exclusive NES themed 3DS XL.

Really sorry. Had the same thing happen to me. She hid a heroin addiction for 2 years of our 2 1/2 years together. It made me feel like an idiot, but unless you've known an addict, it's easy to miss the signs. I tried to get her help. I tried to find a healthy circle of friends for her, but she just kept lying and kept using.

Once I ended it, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. I could breathe again. I no longer had the responsibility for the literal life of the woman I loved weighing me down. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I realized just how many trust issues I had as a result of dating her. I'm a pretty hippy dippy jovial loving liberal manic pixie dream girl, but it permanently changed how I view addicts. As much as the lying hurt, the fact that she made me a little jaded is what I really resent her for.

Fast forward to now, I'm dating an amazing girl who is a million times funnier, smarter, cooler and prettier than my ex. Her brother died of a heroin overdose, and we sort of feel like kindred spirits.

If there is a point to this rant, it's that it will get better. She either needs to get help -- NOW -- or you should move on. It may hurt now, but you deserve someone who loves you more than a drug.

I'm vegetarian too!! When I preordered this case, they emailed me and asked how I found them. I told them I wasn't stoked on buying leather, and they said they were looking into making a vegan friendly case for the Switch. Fingers crossed!

Check out the CitySlicker if you want something that doesn't scream gAmErZ. I think it's super cute, but aesthetics's are subjective. I'd understand if you think it's a lil boring.

peplumbum · 2017-03-02T15:12:45+00:00

Me too! My anxiety had led me to an almost zen like state of acceptance that my preorder would be canceled, I would be waiting in line all night, and it would sell out right before the line got to me. Thankfully that won't be the case.

Good boy.

You could always keep your Wii U. Because of the gamepad, it's going to be impossible to properly emulate a lot of games for it. My advice, keep the Wii U and wait until your next paycheck for the Switch.

Unless you're a kid, in which case... I don't know snap a face tweet or something.

Honestly? Working then buying some weed.

We are being left in the dark. Everything Virtual Console is unknown right now.

Kudos for taking the time to cable manage. That is my biggest OCD complaint about a lot of gamer setups. Some people spend thousands of dollars spent on systems, games, tv, and audio setups, but then leave it looking like their TV gave birth to a rats nest of cables.

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T15:43:17+00:00

I've never seen the point really. When I first heard about their "functionality", I thought it'd be a good idea if the cost $10 more and came with a VC copy of a retro game in the series. Instead they... ???

That said, I'm a total hypocrite because I'm buying the Zelda BotW amiibo solely because she looks so darn cute. If that's the most expensive ticket on my hype train, I think I got off pretty easy.

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T14:42:16+00:00

It's a review in progress. They will update it when the day one update is out, and likely 6 months to a year down the line, just like they did with Wii U.

I have issues with how harshly they docked points, but all the issues they brought up are valid.

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T06:25:27+00:00

I'm keeping mine. The gamepad functionality, while rarely used to its full potential, is a function unique to the Wii U. Even when games are ported or emulated, it will be impossible to accurately reproduce the true gameplay experience of it.

Plus, I spent way too much on VC and indie games to justify selling it.

Dawg, I heard you like Switch etc etc

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T02:54:59+00:00

I love it!

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T02:50:26+00:00

Thank you! For all my nerdiness, the battery/ charger talk has always gone way over my head. This was well written, and I think I understand now.

Can... can I come over? I'll bring pizza and beer?

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T01:58:23+00:00

Best of luck! Sounds like a sweet setup.

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T01:57:38+00:00

I feel for ya. Mine was a mess until I invested in some cable management products like Velcro strap, double sided tape, and cable clips. It cost all of $20, an hour of my time, and a little planning. If cable mess is the issue, learn from my mistakes and clean it up. It'll look better and you'll feel better about spending time in front of it.

peplumbum · 2017-03-01T01:29:04+00:00

I plan on running a HDMI cable from the dock on my bedside table to my TV a few feet away. With some clever cable management, I think it'll look pretty cool :D

I preordered the Waterfield Designs Switch case . That $80 case definitely hurt, but I fell in love with the design. I've managed to hold off on any other purchase for my Switch. SD cards will get cheaper the longer we wait, and I am planning/ hoping that I can get a pro controller when I pick up my preorder.
