Self-Love: "How do I track my order" Edition


While you were watching 19 volts come from a 9 volt battery, here's the busy-work I was able to get done between trying to explain what you're doing wrong.

On Second Thought... Your Graphics May Vary

Back in the days when polygons were just another chapter in your Geometry textbook, commercials for NES and Atari games showed lasers and missiles flying out of happy children's television sets and jazzy neon lights bouncing off their dark, oversized sunglasses with hot pink rims. If you believed the commercials for the average NES game, you'd think you could leap right into your Magnavox and high-five Mario and pals then race off into the sunset in a Pole Position car while Tetris blocks the size of skyscrapers drop from the heavens around you.

On Second Thought... DS Lite: Half the Carbs

may not be the ideal Nintendo DS consumer, as I am neither 12 years old or Japanese, but do we really need another DS already? I bought mine on the day it released, and honestly I must have used the thing less than ten times. The only two games for the system that are worth a fart are Mario Kart DS (in case you didn't get enough of it when it was called Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, or Mario Kart: Double Dash!!) and Nintendogs (in case you didn't get enough of it when it was called Tomagotchi, Gigapet, Nanopet, Neopets, Catz, Dogz, or Pokémon).

On Second Thought... Outbreak 2: The $49.99 Virus

For the past few years, Senator Clinton has been trying ever so hard to spend lots of money that the country doesn't have to perform overbloated "research" to hopefully rationalize the position of all wealthy old people who don't have young children that videogames are a plague upon our young. Last year it was something like $3 billion for research; that was shot down. Now she's recruited Joe Lieberman, who has an interesting history in videogames (which I'll mention below), and Kansas' Senator Brownback into asking the Center for Disease Control to stop looking at Bird Flu and boot up some copies of Duck Hunt. I thought Democrats were supposed to be up with the liberal arts and down with using government funds to further one's agenda.

I deleted "sameprob"s comment and its reply.
Can you stop commenting on newer blog entries with the same question? It's getting a bit tedius.

Oh the suspense. What if I order one more, then how many will I have?
