Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly codenamed NX) and mobile gaming
I am sold. This is brilliant.
Let me offer myself as the near-ideal Nintendo anecdote:
- I don't get that much play out of Wii U because it takes over the TV in a fixed spot.
- I definitely am not buying the same game for both mobile and the living room.
- I don't wanna commit to a mobile system because it's a tiny screen; given 1 copy, I'll take console.
- I don't have the patience to readjust to different controller form factors for 1 game.
- I loooooove Mario Kart 8 and Mario Bros Wii U but only play them maybe once a month because I'm not a big fan of being stuck in the living room / the TV is often taken at the time I want to play.
- I am exactly the guy who wants to use the kickstand and hide in the attic to play Mario Kart. Or grab it into the pub or basement to play with friends while other people are watching a movie.
This is exactly the scenario/system that would get me to play the games I already love more and put me in a position where I'm more likely to try more games.
Bonus points for not succumbing to a touch screen or other such nonsense.
Nailed it.

Re: Truck Get, truck problems, and license get!
So I went to see my mechanic friend and had him look at the engine today.
It's not the timing chains.
He told me that if the timing chains were going bad, I would be able to hear it, to which he likened the sound to opening a chain gate while dragging it on the ground. All we heard was minor squeaking of the belts (perfectly normal).
He suggested that I check and replace my air filter, run some Sea Foam through the engine, clean the throttle body, and put the last four new spark plugs on (stopped at two after the first opinion).
So I am feeling pretty confident about being able to run my truck some more, maybe even to ICOK this year.
