No, Biden is not in any way a decent or appropriate alternative to Trump.

Thats why Biden needs to lose to another candidate. For fucks sake how is he still hanging on? I swear the percentage he holds must simply be the percentage of people who arent paying attention at all. Be sure to vote when the race comes to your state.

I'm convinced it's because the polls are conducted by landline and no one under the age of 50 has one of those lol

I guess Uncharted 1 is my favorite game for the system. Favorite memory might be getting to that part of the game.

My favorite memory is actually from before I got one. I was hanging out with a bunch of friends and we were playing Magic. I decided to sit out a round and one of my buddies let me play with his 3DS and Mario 3D Land.

My favorite game is probably Animal Crossing. I put a lot of time into that game.

Loved Wooly World! Say what you will about Wii U era Nintendo, they were pushing out some fantastic 2D platformers during that time.

I hear Crafted World isn't quite as stellar, not to mention lacking the freshness Wooly World had...

My feelings exactly. Crafted World is just fine. The soundtrack is kind of awful though; everything has this... idk, it sounds like those plastic recorders you learn to play in elementary school. It's kind of grating on the ears. The game is also stupidly easy and short.

The secret levels were mildly challenging and the true final boss basically demands a perfect run to beat.

Yes. I still have mine, but it's not hooked up.

There were a lot of great games on the WiiU. Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Wooly World, Mario Kart 8, etc. If I had to pick a favorite, I might go with Kirby just because it hasn't had a port or sequel on the Switch.

My favorite memory might be the night one of my friends came over, we played Hyrule Warriors, and he immediately decided to go get the game after he left.

Ah, the PS2. I had one. Had. I got a BC PS3, so I gave my PS2 to my dad along with a few games I didn't play anymore. It then got a disc read error a few months later.

My favorite game was definitely Kingdom Hearts II and it has some of my favorite memories associated with the PS2. My dad actually surprised me by giving me a brand new TV to play it on for my birthday. Went from a crappy, sub 20" curved TV to a flat 27" (still a big ass CRT though). I still have that TV too. I had to stop using it because it started making this high pitched whine. I could pay to have it fixed, but I think I'll just wait a few years til my hearing degrades to the point that I can't hear it. Plus, that thing weighs almost a hundred pounds and is unwieldy. It has been a legitimate factor in my decision not to move.

My favorite memory is getting it and Pokemon Red for Christmas one year. I literally just played it for the rest of the night.

My favorite game is probably Pokemon Crystal. There was just something so mind blowing about it at the time. I still think back to what an adventure it was, and the scale seems large even as an adult. No other Pokemon game has really matched that feeling since.

So, my Wii is one of the few systems I have that I don't keep hooked up. I recently unhooked my WiiU, so I need to set one of them up whenever I want to play Wii games.

Anyway, favorite memory? Camping out to get a Wii on launch day. Had to go to wait outside a Walmart at like 6am for them to open (believe it or not, some Walmarts weren't open 24/7 back in 2006) so I could get one. Went home and fell asleep on top of my bed while watching Taxi Driver on TV. Pestered my mom for a solid month to let me have my Wii early (it was a Christmas present and I was a young teen at the time).

Favorite game is a bit harder to decide. The first game I had was Twilight Princess. I still kick myself for getting the Wii version instead of the GCN. The latter is worth more, isn't mirrored, and I would have been able to play it a month earlier than the Wii copy I bought. Still, I loved it.

Strong second is, weirdly, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. It's an on-rails shooter retelling of some of the older Resident Evil games and some new story content. I 100% that bad boy back in the day, but never even beat the second game. I blame college for that.

Was there a black one besides the Sega Sports edition? My uncle had the Sega Sports one, I was always jealous of it but honestly I was grateful to just have one. My favorite game was PSO ver 2, but a close second was actually Toy Commander, I only had the demo for a long time and finally got it for my birthday one year.

I think the Sega Sports one was the only black version. I saw it at a retro store recently for the first time; I like the way it looks, but it was almost double the price of a regular Dreamcast.

They don't come in that color, it's a white Dreamcast that got discolored.

Oof, that's pretty deceptive labeling then. Is it just the plastic naturally discoloring or do you think it's something else like cigarette smoke?

I didn't have a PS1 growing up (I was an N64 kid), but I had friends and family who did. My favorite game for the system was probably Soul Reaver or Blood Omen; I got really into the Legacy of Kain series in high school. I loved the dark atmosphere and Shakespearean dialogue.

I do have one now, but it's packed away. I have a backwards compatible PS3, so I can use it whenever I get the hankering to play a PS1 game.

My favorite PS1 memory was probably playing some wrestling game at a friend's house. I created a wrestler that was so badass that he "made Goldberg look like a sissy in panties and boots" according to my friend. That kid was the son of one of my dad's friends and we stopped going over there not long after that. I found out later that the kid had died in a car accident. He was a cool dude, and I'll always miss him.
