Listening now and heard you guys talking about Wavebirds.  I bought 4 when they came out and they still are working just like the day I bought them.  Nintendo can really make some stuff that lasts. 

Yeah, they are pretty solid.  The buttons don't seem to lose their responsiveness like the standard controllers do.

The control sticks on my GameCube controllers have become loose, but I suppose hundreds of hours of Smash Bros is to blame.  Cheesy

I loved how Melee kept track of all your data. I put in nearly 5,000 matches on one memory card alone before I switched mem cards and played about 2,000 matches on another. I wanted the 5,000th match on that one card to be me and my friends I started gaming with back home . I had moved to Florida and wanted to play that special match with my original crew Smiley

One of the most commonly asked questions is what AC adapter should I use for a given system. It would make a great podcast episode/subject.

I've had this page bookmarked for a while now.  It's a great reference.  There are several adapters that will fit into a given system but almost certainly cause damage to it.  It would be a good topic.

Like the NES AC adapter on anything but an NES. Why on earth did they make it AC out when it runs perfectly fine on DC? I wouldn't think it could be costs since they have to convert the AC to DC internally. Good topic.

The NES AC adapter has fried many a Famicom. Usually the 7805 inside.

Yeah, thankfully not a tough fix. I just relegate NES adapters to their own area so I can't mix it up.

While listening to the Podcast I managed to finish cleaning/sorting my NES games:

Thanks again for taking the time to make the podcast.

That's a really nice set of shelves. I like how every cubby has one cart for a manager/overseer Wink

Never seen that sign before, custom?

I took that picture near Christmas last year, and I've had it as my phone lock screen ever since. However, I just now realized that the angle I took that picture from makes his eyes look he was caught playing the Neo-Geo cabinet. Heheh.

LOL.

I also spy the Drew Karpyshyn Mass Effect books back there.  Good choices.
