- Got iTunes and my iPod to work, so I've been going through my CDs these last few days and importing all the songs I like. Man, it's been years since I listened to some of this stuff, so it's been making feel all nostalgic.

- Still trying to decide on which Wii game I want to buy with my gift card. I was leaning toward a Zelda game, but then I came across Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games while browsing Amazon, which seems like a lot of fun. They even have figure skating on it! I'm not quite sure how that would work, but it's definitely making me curious...

- Managed to get that new chapter of Melting Ice up before the new year like I promised. Hope I can finally finish that up in 2012; it feels like I've been working on it for a decade.

And that's about it, I guess.

I would suggest using Gamestop, and buying used games instead of new. In addition to their used games being guaranteed to work, you can return the game no-questions-asked within a week. Meaning if you try it and you don't like it, you can return it and get something else. Plus, their used games are way more affordable than new. They do trade-backs for credit on games you're done with, too, though you don't usually get a lot of money for them.

For new games and peripherals, yeah, Amazon. But I am a big encourager of the used game market.

You can buy used games on Amazon, too. (I love finding good deals on out-of-print manga there.) Plus, ordering online is just more convenient for me, since I don't drive.

Oh, Gamestop has a massive online ordering process, too! I have ordered a ton of stuff from them before. They're great that way. I just don't know if Amazon does the no-questions-asked returns like Gamestop does, which is why I mentioned them. In case you tried something and didn't like it.

Oh, they do? Then I might just have a look at their website. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there, was I? Hahaha! Oh, I fail. But yeah, they definitely have an online selection.
