:? I answer my phone and the first thing i hear is my sister in law giving me shit for not calling or visiting for over a year. Which is crap since they never return calls unless they want money. I then get berated about going to a funeral for a cousins wife i have never met. Only then do i get the family update of she got bit by a copperhead and ended up in icu cause she is allergic to the anti venom. My neice broke her leg getting outta the blazer and may need pins in it. My brother has a bench warrent out for him for back child support for his son who has lived with him for over nine years cause the kids mom threw him outta her house when he was 6yrs old. My brother has to get a rod in his back or he will be in a wheel chair within 10 yrs. Which then procedes to how much do i get paid in my babysitting job,which i do pro bono cause the kids parents can't afford to pay me.To do i work any place else then it is the kids miss me when am i visiting. And my favorite she tells me she saved the best news for last my mom is dying of cancer. And this is the short version. Wtf did i do to get that call is beyond me. Now i gotta deal with donnie in a shitty mood cause he got bit by fleas at his moms . :(

Everyone B'AWWing over the DC controller just needs a fight stick as well. Bad D-Pad? Fight stick. Four buttons? Fight stick. Memory card takes up too much room? Fight stick. Angled corners at the bottom too annoying? Fight stick. Seriously, most of the complaints only come into play when playing a Fighter... in which case you can get a fight stick for under $20 on Amazon.

That doesn't make sense on numerous levels.

No, all those problems come up playing any kind of game. The Dreamcast has fewer buttons than the Saturn, and people complained that the Saturn was missing the two buttons from the PlayStation. Buying an extra controller shouldn't be a requirement to play certain games properly, and certainly doesn't make it okay that the Dreamcast lacked things which should have been standard. Especially when they were present on the Saturn.

Sort of sounds like my family. They don't give us shit, but they complain how we never visit anymore.

Now, we live in Florida. They live in Indiana. Since I was born and up until my grandfather died when I was 21, we hopped on a plane and flew up there twice a year. How many times do you think they came down to visit us? Twice. They won't come here, but they expect us to go up there. Oh, they've come down here before on other occasions....but not to visit us. We had to go and meet up with them. Now I understand why my mother moved out of state :?
