@outer_haven: Okay? I'm in Copenhagen for most of the trip, I think. Might go to Sweden to pick up my umbrella...

But here, a real question.

@Altima NEO: Singstar. Singstar doesn't have that built-in use any song you want thing, but I hear that that is awful. Singstar's singing is like Rockband's singing. I keep a few versions (pop, 80s, ABBA, Queen) for parties, and everyone likes to play.

Why can't it be the end of the month yet? I want Other M. I want it to be closer to my trip to Denmark.

Ugh, damn it. Why is everything that is nice AND geeky so damned expensive? I would LOVE a wool Mario sweater.

@dowingba: This is true. I got the Hanafuda cards when the site was glitched, though. I had been on the page for the Link posters before, and then when I went to order the Hanafuda cards, it sent me the posters for 350 coins. Nintendo decided that, since it was around Christmas, they'd be nice, and instead of taking…

@RedtheGhost: Really? I've never seen one. Then again, where I live is full of vapid housewives who think Imagine: Babies is a fun game, so used games are usually a fuckton of shovelware with the odd good 1st/3rd party game thrown in for good measure.

@Ghinn: I know. I said I WISH they were in North America. ):

Oh, I want them both! I could get them, too, if it was in North America! Damn. ): I got my Hanafuda cards, and my G&W Collection (off eBay, because I'm not [technically] paying 800$ for it), and now I don't know what I want. I have, like, 1500 or more coins. Butts.

@Jacob Macaulay Prower: Yeah, I've played it. It stopped at that room in the preview, though. Is there a newer version?

@Travakh: I liked this one WAY better.

While I am well aware many straight women have pixie haircuts, and while I am well aware the police officer will be your run-of-the-mill Olivia Benson without the whole rape backstory (that is to say, straight), people are going to stereotype this new officer as a lesbian because of her hair, and the fact that she's a…

@Dolph1: God, I miss Åhléns... I fell in love with it when I went, and now I long to return. ;-;

@Robotube: Every damned house I went to in Sweden looked like an IKEA showroom. Hell, all my furniture is actually from IKEA, yet it seems to NOT look like a showroom. ):

@lomp: I really like the wall. Is that IKEA fabric, or just some sort of patterned decal thingy from there? I vaguely remember seeing that design...

@ShadowOdin is gonna be King of Kotaku: Seriously. Look at her. Look at how Swedish she is.

@TheRevanchist2: Salmiakki (or the Swedish equivalent of Salmiakki)?

It was that her charger set on fire. "Louises laddare började brinna", if my (poor) Swedish* is correct, is "Louise's charger began to burn" in English.

All about the 905s and 416s here, guys. In Toronto, you can get 416 (older), or 647 (newer). I've always preferred 416. Same with 905 and 289. Just nostalgia, I suppose.

This is actually fantastic. Nintendo should make videos like this for all their main series.
