I have 4 WaveBirds. I had just started my first job in HS when the GC came out and my friends and I became obsessed with Phantasy Star Online. So being a HS student with nothing really important to spend my paychecks on, I ended up with 4 WaveBirds and the broadband adapter. I almost bought the keyboard controller even. We stopped playing PSO before I did buy it unfortunately but I did later use the broadband adapter and PSO to stream pirated games to my GC though so that was fun.

For some reason I can vividly remember a scene where the son tries opening a locked door with his dad's credit card and it breaks in half. Then he goes to tell his dad but luckily for him his dad gets a new CC in the mail that day.

That and one of the female characters has my name which is the only place I have ever heard of a female with my name. Which is perfectly fine but when you are little kid it's not so fun!

It's so hard to find remotely good games now... I have hit the point that I don't even bother looking at anything but paid offline games but even those often have microtransctions. I am glad that you can get a refund most of the time as long as you only used it less than an hour.

Same here. Ever since Exile I have bought them all.

It would be insane to take them out completely they are an introvert's dream and most people prefer them for smaller shopping trips. Now if every store went to the scan and go model then I would be okay with them being gone. Scan items as you shop and then pay from your phone. The only interaction is an employee at the door just quick checking your receipt by scanning a few of the items. It's glorious.

Home owner's association. Neighborhoods have common needs such as landscaping and other infrastructure that doesn't fall in someone's property. In theory these make sense, you have a group of people who set guidelines to keep the neighborhood nice. However, what often ends up happening is the group pushes their own agendas and it is no longer for the common good.

I just spent the last 2 hours before bed playing Minecraft with my 7 and 5 year old and I ate chicken nuggets for dinner... I may never grow up....
