Well, since I finally got a console for this generation (a Nintendo Wii) I can say goodbye to my Gamecube *sniffs*. Not that it matters, there are GC games I still want, admittedly. Also, I'll still play the games while I find money to fund my Wii collection.

With this transitionin mind I would like to say a final farewell and pay my respects to my Gamecube, which on the 25th of December, 2007, finally became obsolete, about a good 6 months to a year after everyone elses.
