Random Thought: Ever notice that drivers employing the "proper" hand position of 10 and 2 on the steering wheel, tend to be some of the worst drivers?
I find driving like that to be incredibly uncomfortable.
I found out that my wife had been trying to find a Virtual Boy to buy me for my birthday. She was not successful: she's not internet-savvy at all (never has done ebay or any online shopping really) and I guess tried to find one in the wild! Ah well, it's the thought that counts. Though I have no idea why she thought I wanted/need a Virtual Boy!

I drive stick, so I often have just one hand on the wheel. Although once cruising on the highway, I usually have one hand or the other on the wheel, not both, and I swap a lot. Staying in the same position too long leads to fatigue.
Man, that would sound really wrong out of context.
I wish sellers wouldn't erase a game's save files before mailing it. I know they probably think of it as a courtesy, but seeing old saves left on a cart is a nice indicator that the battery is still good.

I love finding old saves because it gives you the ability to either start right at the end of the game or figure out exactly where the previously owner said "fuck it" and gave up.

On Zelda carts, it's usually 45 minutes in or less.

I've meant to try my hand at writing reviews/blogging about games, etc several times...
...each time i usually end up just kinda staring at the screen for a while, maybe writing a paragraph or two, and then saying "fuck it" and deleting everything I'd written.
I have something of a gaming blog but I'm usually too lazy to update it. I'd like to try and keep it regularly updated, at least once a month, but just too lazy.

Haha I do this like three times a year.
I even tried the YouTube thing once too... It didn't go so well.

Add me to the club too, except that I've managed to pump out a handful in the past. Writing is harder than it looks.
