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.
Last week we went to IKEA to find ourselves a piece of furniture that would work for an entertainment center. We found a buffet called the Stornas (There is an accent there somewhere). today my Dad took me to IKEA so that I could buy it and bring it home. The rest of the day was spent building it. Now it is complete and I think it is going to work even better than I had thought. It has tons of space and we have already reclaimed some space and now there is less temptation for Andrew to go through all the DVDs and Skylanders. He can’t reach the top and so little fingers won’t be grabbing at the components or the Skylanders figures while we are playing or the Nintendo Wii U GamePad while it is charging.
Despite it taking a while I do so enjoy building IKEA stuff. I call it LEGO for Adults (but I like real LEGO, too)
