Before I left St. Kitts for the holidays, I started setting up my space downstairs as a sort of games room with all my consoles. Ideally, it'll be set up upstairs in what could be considered the house's attic, but that will take much much more work - ventilation, electrical, space and finally figuring out how to get up and down easy enough that it makes it usable. Right now the downstairs set up doesn't make much sense in case Ale needs help with anything.

Anyway, I set up a cuby system for the different consoles and plugged in my wii u for the first time in like 3 years and the gamepad screen has got fog in it as if one layer is peeling from another. Saddened me tremendously cause it's on of my favorite and underappreciated consoles.

Online you can find the game pad selling for like 130us or you can buy the parts for about 40us. Throw in a new battery for another 15us and you pratically have a new gamepad. Especially since mine is the "special edition" zelda wind waker edition.

It might seem silly, but I'd rather not lose the glyphs on the gamepad.

I found these parts on iFixit:
Gamepad screen and Gamepad LCD. I'm pretty tech savy but what is the difference here?

Plus the Wii u gamepad iFixit guide for replacing the screen

I think I'll tackle it. Of interest, these can all be found on amazon for the same or similar prices.

Shank is a new game for Xbox live and PSN. it features 2 player beat-em-up coop play and lots and lots of over the top killing and blood. looks awesome.

watching the game brings back a lot of nostalgia of playing those old beat em ups, more so than actually playing games like castle crashers. makes me want to play double dragon...

ok, i have to post this. you've probably seen this in the news or at least heard about it if you watch or pay attention to or know anyone who loves hockey.

this is not for the faint of heart. if you're sure you want to see this, it happens a little after 1/4 the way through.

and it's not the first time he's done something stupid like this either. when he was playing as captain of the Canadian World Junior team he did the same thing.

that was one, the second isn't as bad because he doesn't get his elbow up in time. so i won't bother showing it.

i say take him out of hockey, ban him from the juniors and if they're smart no one will take him in the nhl or other divisions.

dirty, dirty player.

need to get a low profile bracket for vikie's pc, or cut open the one i have

mainly for me for my search for a side marker lamp <- the light on the left or right of a headlight.

Here are a couple really cool sites I`ve been checking out lately for computer and electronics components and accesories.
