I justified the price of buying one by that fact that I'm using my PC everyday. I don't game very often on PC, but I'm using my keyboard everyday nonetheless. A mechanical keyboard should last a long time, so it's worth the investment rather than getting shitty keyboard after shitty keyboard. Especially when it's something I'm using every day.

This + this = awesome.

The last game that Shigeru Miyamoto directed was Mario Artist: Paint Studio in 1999.

The last game that Shigeru Miyamoto designed was Wii Music in 2008.

The last game that Shigeru Miyamoto wrote plot for was Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2010.

He is currently acting as producer for the next Zelda and something tentatively called "Project Giant Robot".

They showed the latter last year alongside the games released under the Star Fox name this year (both Zero and what became Star Fox Guard, shown then as Project Guard).

Seems like it's just a list of things he's been publicly attached to, so perhaps he's working on some NX stuff, or simply more in an advisory role (which would make some sense as well).

In two weeks, the N64 will be 20 years old.

Still not retro by Bone standards though.

Speaking of Shigeru Miyamoto, why the hell aren't the earliest Nintendo arcade games like Sheriff, Radar Scope, and Space Firebird on the Virtual Console?

Hey man I will concede there are some retro games on Nintendo 64:

Scary thought: Some '90s music is probably considered "oldies" now.

Every once in a while the classic rock station by me plays some 90's era Metallica. It really freaks me out every time.

90's and early 00's music is in a musical void at the moment. It's hard to find them anywhere on the radio.

We have an oldies station that only plays 70's & 80's music with some 60's, but only late and popular ones.

We have an Alternative Station and that will play some 90's music, but not a ton and only on specific times. Mostly, it is just Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots.

We have a Classic Rock station and that will play some of the same stuff, but very rarely.

We used to have a 'Classic Hits' station that would sometimes play stuff like The Wallflowers and the Gin Blossoms, but that was on its dying days.

We have a college rock station, but that also plays modern Indie stuff as well.

80's & 90's music is my favorite stuff to listen to and I sometimes feel like I am the only one that listens to it.

It would freak me out too. Why play 90's Metallica when you can play much better 80's Metallica?
