I had to kick him up the arse this morning because he was playing super mario world on his snes when he should have been getting ready for schoolI did finish the level for him though while he got dressed

I'm of the belief that playing The Legend of Zelda for the first time in its day is many more times exciting than todays games in the equivalent genre.
Every new PC-Engine title I get gives me that brand new experience having never had one as a kid... now that brings a smile to my face also!

It must be such a good feeling, like showing your child some old music and finding they really like it.
My little bro got weirded out when I got a SNES but after a while he was hooked as well. These days he'll sometimes walk past and ask why I'm playing Sonic or SoR2 on my 360 instead of CoD or whatever but that's always followed by him sitting down and watching me play
My smile:
After a rough few weeks with gf getting frustrated at the long distance, she messaged me to say she's booked her flight here. Arriving Wednesday and staying until end of Dec. Add that to the ALT company I had an interview with last Thursday telling me this morning that I passed and that I have my second interview tomorrow morning to decide where I'll teach, etc, basically the job offer interview.
Finally, in the spirit of good things coming in threes, this gem popped up on the radio:

That's still wicked!
I can't run for shizzle but I started walking the 2 miles to work in the Summer. It took 40 mins and now it takes 35. Plus I now love walking in the cold and can't wait for it to snow. One day I'll progress to jogging but a few weeks back I beat my cousin at squash for the first time despite not playing for 6 months(and being rubbish to begin with anyway) so it's doing good. Plus I've lost just under 3" of belly and had to get smaller jeans(I'm on 34" which is still a bit loose and needs a belt, was 36". 32" is too tight though and squashes my nuts).
You guys are inspirations, especially FSW with that awesome advert. BLACK ARMS! Sounds like frost bite if you wear a tshirt in the freezing cold.

Yeah not as good as some of the previous ones, but it's been a long time since we've had anything. I can't stand Titanic, I can't get over the horrible cringeworthy dialogue and massively on-the-nose stereotypes.
Supposedly there'll be another review coming out relatively quickly? He said he was working on two at the same time...
