Nice, I agree, yeah, my Japanese friend just came all the way from Japan and brought us a bunch of jankufūdu and cup-mein. We were playing some PES and eating it all while listening to some old school Tiësto. No need of a new game, although Nioh is pretty rad.  |

I'm in the process of getting rid of personal stuff right now, and when you buy a new console, it just snowballs when you start expanding your collection of games.

It's my little brother, which by the way I was recapping on his gaming accomplishments recently. By age 10 he has completed: - Art Of Balance 100% - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker 100% - Donkey Kong Barrel Blast 100% - Donkey Kong Country Returns - FlingSmash - Kirby's 64 The Crystal Shards - Kirby's Adventure - Kirby And The Rainbow Curse - Kirby's Epic Yarn - Kirby Triple Deluxe - Majora's Mask 100% - Mega Man 7 - Mega Man X 100% - Mega Man X2 100% - Mega Man X3 100% - NES Remix Volume I 100% - NES Remix Volume II 100% - New Super Luigi U 100% - New Super Mario Bros. 2 100% - New Super Mario Bros. Wii 100% - New Super Mario Bros. U 100% - Ocarina Of Time 100% - Pokkén Tournament - Skyward Sword 100% - Splatoon - Star Fox 64 - Star Fox Zero - Super Mario 3D Land 100% - Super Mario 3D World 100% - Super Mario Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Super Mario Bros. - Super Mario Bros. 2 The Lost Levels - Super Mario Bros. 3 - Super Metroid - Twilight Princess - Wind Waker He is almost done with many others too such as the Pokémon handheld games, and a very proficient player on the Wii series such as Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Play, Wii Play Plus, Wii Party, Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, the Mario Party series, Donkey Kong, Minecraft, Dr. Luigi, the Mario Kart series, and the Smash Bros. series. He has accomplished more than I ever did at that age using only the Wii U and the 3DS. I tell him that he is one of the best in the world for his age. He is also very knowledgeable in popular culture as we have watched all Marvel movies, all Star Wars movies, all Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT episodes, every movie and special episode of those series, now we are watching Dragon Ball Super, and he has watched on his own One Piece, Pokémon, and Naruto.   He is also a very recognized and badge awarded boy scout in his group.  He is bilingual, we are currenrly watching Knight Of The Zodiac in Spanish. He is the most important player in his soccer team at school, and has 2 season trophies.  He has been multiple times the bobcat of the month for his excellent performance on all school classes. He also has been taking piano lessons for 2 years now. He can play the Mozart's fast songs I never dreamed of playing at his age. For me he is the top 1 kid on the planet. I'm very proud of him. |

Lucky kid. I never got all the good games when I was his age. I had an Atari 2600 when everyone else had a 16-bit system.

stratogustav You say they're for both of you, but since you paid for them, I say they're essentially yours.

stratogustav yeah, kinda, I did pay for them but officially they are his, as they were gifts, and that includes all the Amiibo collection, we got every single Amiibo released besides the Animal Crossing ones, and they are all in his room. Yet, I can still grab every game and play it, and he would be cool about it. The funny thing is that the actual Wii, 3DS, and Wii U games are in my room with the excuse that they are safer there, haha.

stratogustavI wish I was half as constructive or talented as your little bro was when I was a kid. Well, I made a shot with a paper ball into the recycle bin from across the classroom once, so I at least have that.

winnersdontusedrugs Well, skills and hard work don't amount to much if you make the wrong decisions. I tell him that. Decisions can have long term positive or negative consequences. Choosing your friendships, what media you consume, your career, your workplace, your neighborhood, the country you'll live in, etc., all these choices have more impact in your life overall. So having no skill or talent is just relative, by making the best possible decisions every time, anyone can change what's ahead. An example of this is that you may choose to be the head of a magazine such as Playboy, or you can choose to be the head of a magazine such as Time. You both will turn into editors that may become successful, but there will be very clear aspects of your lives that would become visibly different.
