Spouse: So what is this thing that you wrote about not wanting a Wii U? Are you trying to make it hard again for me to get a birthday gift for you?
L.G.: Well, I just know that Nintendo is going to release a better version of the Wii U sometime in 2013. I have a feeling that the screen on the special controller is going to get an HD bump.
Spouse: So you don't want the Wii U?
L.G.: I want it, but I am not in a hurry to get it.
Spouse: Oh. And how is the new computer?
L.G.: I love it. It's quite powerful. My newer games are running a lot better with it.
Spouse: That's nice. But you are saying that the graphics card is not good?
L.G.: The one that came pre-packaged with it is not. I am using the graphics card I have from my old computer. The performance of that card was bottle-necked before. Now, it's really running nicely.
Spouse: So you're saying that computer can do more with a better graphics card?
L.G.: Yeah. But this one should still be good for a long while.
Spouse: I'll pay half if you want to get a new graphics card.
L.G.: Uh, really?
Spouse: Sure, since I am not getting you a Wii U this November.
And thus they went to the store after a romantic sushi dinner and picked up a new Nvidia graphics card (the spouse got a fancy new wireless keyboard and mouse too) and they lived happily ever after.
That "FTW" stamp is corny but unlike the cake, it isn't a lie.
The longest graphics card I have ever seen in my life. For a second, I thought it wouldn't fit.
