No matter how delicious this perfectly crisped piece of toast might look, how could you ever really eat this awesome Nintendo DSi toast and remain of sound mind. I would regret it for the rest of my days. But my tummy is rumbling. Ahhhh, I hate hard decisions. Link [via]

When it comes down to it, I never quite “got over” my original NES console. No matter what system I might play for a few months or even years, and trust me, I’ve played quite a few different consoles in my day, I always come back to the original. Maybe it has something to do with the memories of comfort ...
