And also I hate horses

Due to a scheduling issue, I had to take equine science in high school. I learned about how fragile horses are when it comes to colic. I wouldn't say that I hate horses, only that I'd hate to own one. They've gone from a necessity to a very large, expensive pet in the past 100 years.

TIL there was a TV tuner attachment for the Game Gear!

I got one for xmas one year, probably it's last year when Sega was clearing inventory, because I didn't ask for it. All I ever had was the pack-in Sonic title. I wish I kept it so that I could modernize it, but who would have seen that coming? I remember playing it and then seeing the battery light flash and I was like, "I wonder what that means, that can't mean a low battery since I've not been playing it all that long!" Yep, it was a low battery :(

It probably wouldn't have been a big deal IF Sega bundled a damn AC adapter with it instead of charging separately for it. It was hard to convince my parents to get me video game stuff as a kid.
