I was waiting in my dentist's office yesterday and the hygienist came out and saw me playing MK8. She was like "Oh is that the new Nintendo? My son wants one really bad!"

She then asked how much it costs, does it come with the dock, and can you really just pick it up and go?

I told her all about my lunchtime Kart, and how I can play BoI on the train and drop it into the dock to pick it right back up when I get home.

Switch is cool and good.

did she give u a standing ovation afterwards

i was on the bus playing on my Nintendo Switch playing a few quick games of Mario Kart Eight Deluxe Edition Only On Nintendo Switch when the bus driver got up from the seat while driving. he had seen the slides and boosts i had been pulling off as my favourite character Dry Bones and said to me "son, please drive this bus, for the love of all that is holy, given your obvious skills, we need your expertise". i sighed and shook my head while smirking, "ok, ill do it... but just this once!!". anyway long story short i need about $200,000 for bail can anyone help me out. the screams will haunt me until the day i die.

I was on the bus and the dude behind me said "You're the first person I've seen with a Switch, how are you liking it?"

I said "I love it. It's good and Breath of the Wild is amazing."

Sometimes when riding the bus I hear loud drilling noises coming from the engine in the back.

Also I saw a guy playing a Switch on it a couple days ago.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
I know a bunch of people with Switches at work. We sometimes talk about how we like the Switch and Zelda. This is pretty farfetched, I know, but it's a true story.

This is a way better story than I expected (and also I like your username)

...But I actually came into this thread to complain that I, a manchild, cannot find this dead manchild toy console in stock anywhere. I know about istocknow, and setting it back to 7 days shows... a total of three stores in my area have had any, and I'm in a city of 250k so that seems unlikely. Are there specific days of the week where Target/Gamestop/Walmart get them in, typically? I can make myself be free before work but I don't know when to bother.

(also Italian Amazon has them in stock right now apparently and I was really tempted to try to find an Italian friend until I remembered exchange rates.)

I was having issues tracking down one as well, but I found that a lot of the local Target stores would update on istocknow at like 7-730 am but don't open till 8, so it was just a matter of waiting till there was one that had it nearby. By the time the Gamestop ones show on istock, they're already gone, and Walmart seemed pretty unreliable the few times I checked local stores.

You can also get a discount at Target if you open a charge card.

I was playing Mario Kart at work on my lunch break and a cute girl came up and asked me "What's that?"

I said "Woah, first of all I'm married so back off. It's Mario Kart." Then she asked what's a Mario Kart. Then I looked down and there was only one set of footprints in the sand, Jesus had been carrying me the whole time. And that savior's name was Albert Einstein. You could have heard a pin drop.

It works good but let it set on the Switch overnight before you put it back in the dock to make sure the adhesive sets and it doesn't get ripped off if you bump the protector.

There are two possible outcomes to minecraft:

1. You'll build a dick tower that constantly cums water or lava and then you'll never play it again

2. You'll build a dick tower that constantly cums water or lava and then you'll play it for 70,000 hours and become one of those people.

It's great for idly playing on the couch. It's a good game and if you've never played it and are interested at all this is a solid version if you aren't planning on fussing with mods or whatever.
