How do you live on?!

I have zero interest. One launch game interests me (Zelda obviously) nothing else till the next Mario excites me. Way overpriced at $300 + $70 for pro controller (I have no interest in carrying around a giant handheld with 2-4hr battery)
I'll wait for the retailers to have some good cost saving bundles

I'm a photographer. I have other shit to spend my money on. At least with my photography gear I can get the occasional freelance thing to pay me. I make no money off Nintendo or any other video game thing. I'll get a Switch when it makes sense to me and doesn't coincide with any upcoming photography stuff. As of right now it's practically at the back of my mind.
I like Zelda, but not that damn much. Now if SMT V was a launch game it would have my attention.
And you'll know for sure.. in like 20 mins if getting one or not... may stop by...
I think Gazele is also going

it's cold today... guys dress warm!
Possibly, probably have a better shot on amazon now then midnight, but may go just to check it out, should be interesting
An ex-GAF member that I'm friends with (DoktorEvil) wanted me to go down to Nintendo World since he pre-ordered a Switch there. I said hell no. I went to go throw out the trash a few minutes ago and that wind was pretty bad especially since my building is by the river.
Good luck to those of you waiting on the line! I consider myself to be a big LoZ fan but there's no way I would get a Switch at launch since I'm not sold on it LoZ aside. That's easily $500 after buying a 128GB or a 256GB microSD, plus a game or two, and a pro controller, and taxes. I suppose you all will make the money back from tax returns or a paycheck or two.

anyone get the sword stuck in the dirt?
i'm waiting for mine

I'm there with you. I still have a fondness for Zelda and Nintendo from my youth, but their unwillingness to join the rest of the modern world with their ecosystem and my limited time means I really can only afford a single console, and it's not going to be theirs.
It's nice to see everyone excited, I guess.

NWS swag
is there a master sword in the bag somewhere =P

Watch all this stuff be on sale on eBay already. People buy up all kinds of crap that they can't get their hands on. The bag is pretty cool.
Edit: found one person selling swag so far:http://m.ebay.com/itm/NINTENDO-STOR...%3A92435f1115a0a6a5ca2507d3ffe35b5f%7Ciid%3A2

Still waiting?
So what happened?
Also when are we gonna do the NYC-GAF Switch meet-up... some local Bomberman/Fast RMX/Pocket Rumble
I walked the line while trying to figure out lunch. Do they seriously still have systems available? I think my Amazon pre-order is lost somewhere in the 5th dimension and I'm kinda getting desperate.
Whenever you want. You're the boss here! I'm personally going to be out of town in April after Easter weekend working at C2E2. I bet Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would win/lose friends; 1-2 Switch would be a fun pub game.

Gonna be in town for a week starting on the 13th! Extremely excited but needing some things to do I guess.

What is up with the weather recently, just pick a temperature!
I'm feeling like this thread is becoming a hostile environment for people to try and pretend like Queens is worth visiting!
It is insane
I don't know how to dress anymore. Like alternating jackets and shirts

I'll date a chick in the Bronx, I'll date a chick in Queens, but fuck Staten Island.

I have no problem with Queens. Was down there a few months ago for a photography thing. As long as I can get some place via subway I'm fine with it. I'm pretty much "nope" tier when it comes to car only areas.

We're about a few posts away from playing MFK with the boroughs.

I almost don't even consider Staten Island a borough. If I can't take a train to it I don't count it.
Next GAF meet-up in Staten Island!
But yeah, I think we can all agree... screw Staten Island... get a subway from the city, ya jerks!

can you try out the switch at nintendo store? Or are the lines long?
I'm sure Staten Island would like that too.
Officially moving to Astoria. Super excited.
Congrats. My wife and I have been looking at stuff over there. We're gonna' sign another 1-year extension on our current lease for now, though. Can't beat the price we pay for a two-bedroom right off the AC.
Eh I work near Washington Square so I'll be in Manhattan every weekday.
I'm finally close to Colombian food. ;-;
Thanks! I looked briefly in Washington Heights but it was less space for the same price. Right now we live near the new 96 station and our new place is so much bigger and cheaper. We also grew up in the suburbs of Miami so it's kind of nice to be back in a more suburby area.

Living in the Bronx? is that even part of NYC?

Beat EviLore at pool.
Nothing to do here. Only decent place by the Ferry would be flagship.
