Accessing merchandise is literally at the tip of our fingers these days. Ordering a game from Amazon is just that easy from your smartphone, and you can research and  buy instantly at anytime of the day.  Why do I mention this?  There was a time when there was no internet, and it was always a joy to receive the Christmas season catalogs in the mail to pick out all the toys you know you couldn't get.  I remember browsing through the Service Merchandise and Sears catalogs and giving most of my attention to the advertised Atari 2600, Intellivision & Coleco sections.

Fast forward to 2017, my daughter has been playing more and more Nintendo Wii as she learns the interface and as her reading skills improve.  And for a while, she's been checking out the Nintendo Amiibo and now the Switch displays when we're out around places like Gamestop and Toy's R Us.  Just recently, a Toy's R Us Christmas catalog came in the mail, and one day, we were going through it together page by page.  When we came across the video game section, she said she wanted a Switch, and she pointed to and wanted every game she saw Mario on it including the 3DS games.  And then I pointed out the Zelda games, and told her she needed those, too.

For a while, she's been playing Mario Kart Wii and Mario Run Android.  So when I later showed her YouTube clips of Mario Kart Deluxe and Mario Galaxy, she really wants a Switch now and told me she'll put down 5$ towards helping me buy one.  So when I explained to her the value of $5 in 25 cent gumballs and how many gumballs it would take to buy a Switch, her mouth dropped.  Good times.

Buy it for her as soon as possible! You don't want to disappoint your princess now do you?



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Aww... that's cute. :)



your daughter may be in the process of developing an unhealthy fetish for italian plumbers, be very careful :P



Pull the trigger; get it.

She wanted to dress up as Princess Peach for Halloween but opted for Arrow's Black Canary instead...



The feels, man. Cherish these moments. I know it's cliche but they really do go by too fast.



Just buy her a Vita
