Normally I have a happy face there in the title...............but today deserves a sad face:

I know what you're thinking. Why would she be concerned over an actor in a classic comedy t.v. show??? Not like he was a major, super, well-known star or anything, right......? But.................this actor also did the voice of Rodimus Prime in the 3rd season of "The Transformers" (1986-87). As much as people glomp the movie voice actor for Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime...being that he was Judd Nelson...I actually really liked Dick Gautier as Rodimus in the t.v. series. His range of emotion was pretty good for the character and to me, Dick Gautier will always be the voice of Rodimus Prime.

I had just started re-watching "Samurai Jack" this weekend--but now I think I'll wrap my weekend up with the third season of "The Transformers", in memoriam of Dick Gautier.

Beyond this........it's been a normal week, of sorts. I guess. Work is work..............my sister keeps screwing up her life and getting me involved in her messes.................those sorts of things.

I found out yesterday that GameStop is taking pre-orders for Nintendo's new system, the Switch. Well, now.......I didn't think it would be coming out quite this early in 2017. I was expecting later............since I was expecting "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" to be a launch title with a cross-release on the WiiU--as "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" was for the Wii and GameCube. I have a pre-order on the WiiU version, since I am not yet 100% sold on Nintendo's new system yet. I've barely even given my WiiU much thought or love............probably the best title I ever played on it (no, not SSB4) was "Mario Kart 8". It was the best MK game I had ever played, and the first one where computer controlled characters don't excessively cheat........they fall off the track, now it takes them a few seconds to get up to speed again. And the kart/hovercraft transitions were always very smooth, it wasn't jolting or jarring when the change happened.

I won't get the Switch right away. I'm pretty wrapped up in my PS4 games (currently "Final Fantasy XV".......but "Persona 5" is out in April!).................and with my sister's stupid antics. I'm not going to count on enough money for a whole new game system.

Today is Pirateology Day at the Library (where I work)................a massive pirate-themed day, full of activities and crafts. THERE ARE SO MANY KIDS IN HERE. :o
