I cannot stress enough that good shoes are important. In 2006, I waited in line nearly four hours to try out the new Wii at E3, and ended up with a hairline fracture in my right foot because my shoes were too tight.

If you look closely, two of the trees have the same single apple, while one tree has many. You remove enough apples on the one odd tree to resemble the other two.

I’m fortunate to live near a big university so I carry my 3DS everywhere for Animal Crossing, Bravely Second, and MH4. I’m really bummed that Nintendo doesn’t intend to use Streetpass on the Switch because as crappy as their online services are, this is one real gem.

Aww, that’s too bad. That would’ve been a great meet cute. Optimus, I met my husband in City of Heroes over 10 years ago. You never know where you’ll find your geek partner for life.

Back in the mid 1980s in South Korea, my mom carried in her purse sickness masks for the both of us. Mine had a Hello Kitty design. Sometimes they were used for various illnesses, but mostly used for tear gas during student protests.

My partner and I travel a lot and we were looking forward to playing together. Having no ability to log in to hotel wifi will really, really suck. Hopefully they will have a built-in popup at least, though I have learned to lower my Nintendo expectations over the years.

I was at PAX SOUTH this year and missed most of these. Ringabel is really well done.

Uh, they both sell frozen, ready-to-bake pigs in a blanket, with processed pastry puff and cocktail weenies. Pigs in a blanket. We’re not talking about dough laminated with love, each weenie delicately hand-stuffed. If you believe they are better quality because they are 4x more expensive, I have a bridge to sell you.

A dozen or so, yeah.

Hell, Trader Joe’s has pretty much the same wrapped weenies for under $5.

I can’t completely hate on the Good and Evil chocolate bar. They were inspired partly by Peruvian farms switching from coca production to cacao in the last few years, and having big names tied to Peruvian chocolate benefits them.
