When I get a new Nintendo product, I sit down and enter in all those stupid codes into the company website, so I can get some awesome Zelda and Mario posters. Once I filled up my walls with appropriate nods to my nerd sensibilities, I was extremely happy. (I've even got a Trogdor poster and a pirate flag for good measure.)"
