I'm too old to know what that means.

And I don't think I want to know.

I have had some of these types of dreams before too. That's amazing. 😄

Funny how it sticks with you in dreams though, eh? I have dreams of being late for school, something bad happening at an old job...

The mind is a wild, wild place.

I already have Friday off. Might need to take Thursday too.

The less I can spend working in this lifetime, the better. 😂

Huh. I can't seem to post images anymore.

Well, I can. But they don't show up. Just...black.

Weird.

So...it makes me wonder if this console is even worth keeping, or if I should package it up and send it to a good home for a collector who is just happy to have 'everything'.

Either way...I loved the Wii U, and it's a shame more people (including Nintendo) didn't give it more love.

There may be some games that take advantage of the game pad, but by and large, the entire library (or most of the games) have been ported to the Switch or other platforms. I haven't done a heavy search, but I can't think of anything worth playing that was stranded on the system.

I had such a great experience with the Wii U, and never listened to those who said it was awful. I really enjoyed it.

But turning it on today and browsing the library, I thought, "Is there any real reason to own a Wii U anymore?"

I bought the Wii U right as I was really starting to return to video games as a hobby for the first time in a long time. I loved this console. I spent lots of time playing some great games. Super Luigi U...3D World...Shovel Knight...Child of Light...Treasure Tracker...NES Remix...

First, it's a shame more people never hopped on board the Wii U train. At the time, I get people saw it as an under powered system that didn't have third party support, and you wouldn't be wrong for thinking that.

But first party Nintendo games in HD for the first time was amazing.

Fired up the Wii U this morning, just to confirm it still worked. And, YES! It does. I've read horror stories of Wii U's kinda kickin' the bucket if they've been powered off for awhile. That was definitely the case with mine.

Anyways, I started looking through the library, and a couple of thoughts:

Shelving Tales of Symphonia. Not as grabbing as I’d hoped and the gameplay isn’t enjoyable. Not for me, anyways.

I’ve been frozen in indecision. So going back to the gaming roots.

Going to start A Link to the Past today and we’ll see where it goes. #SNES

I think the bigger issue is that the actions being taken today aren't viewed as mistakes by those making them.

Day is off to a good start.

Have a great one, kids!

💯

I really should try and play more RE games. Outside of the first two, I've never really played many others in the franchise.

NOW you tell me.

I did this, got fired, and now I'm unemployed.

But I DID have a swell time with NFL Blitz, so at least there's that. 🏈🎮

We'll make you an honouary Canadian. Then you can just go with .ca for PENNIES on the dollar!

CAN'T. WAIT. 🥰

Take a nap and LIKE IT

FINALLY got to play a video game. Jumped back into Tales of Symphonia. Not sure this one is gonna cut it for me.

It’s just kind of…there.

I’ve spent a lot of time lately thinking about video games.

Admiring them. Organizing them. Optimizing the best ways to enjoy them.

But have I played any?

No.

How the hell did I get this so backwards?

HAPPIEST OF DAYS, TOM HALL. BIRTHDAY BOIIIIIIII! 🎉🎂🥳

I really need to find a way to separate my office space/PC from my gaming space. Right now everything's crammed in one room and I feel like I need to spread myself out. Too much stuff in one small space.

It's like gaming claustrophobia. 😆
