I got home this morning to find that my Wii U was ready to perform an update. I’ve been playing with it for months now and haven’t seen an update for a while but this is a major update and it adds a bunch of new features and sets up some other features that are coming soon. I’m excited for the virtual console games that can be played on the gamepad. For nostalgia’s sake I’d enjoy playing excite bike, Metroid and Ice Climber once again. While I do still have those actual games in a box somewhere along with my NES, which I’m saving so that I can torture my kids some day and show them what I had to play as a child as opposed to the amazing games they will have available to play. We played with dots and blocks and liked it! Here’s more info on the update.
I love little toys, games, action figures and statues. My work desk is covered with them. Now that I’ve been getting cool products from Loot Crate my desk has started getting even more filled with awesome stuff. Don’t worry I still have photos of the family on the desk as well.
On my desk I have the whole Thundercats team from the reboot of the series a year or so ago. I liked the redesigns of the characters and really liked the figures. So, last night, I was looking at the Space Invaders candy tin I got from Loot Crate and it was the perfect height for Lion-O to use it to play with. I quickly shot a photo of it and posted it via Instagram. I set that up again but this time with some other figures in the background. They probably aren’t going to get a chance to play since instead of a quarter on the game, Lion-O has placed the Sword of Omens on the game cabinet and I’m pretty sure that trumps any next game quarters.
