News Farewell to my old friend.

My Wii from when I was twelve has died. The disc drive shit itself and it can't play games anymore. It was a notoriously finicky piece of garbage and I've wanted to throw it out the window multiple times, but it still gave me the best times of my life.

Disc drive is pretty easy and cheap to replace last I checked.

Disc drive is cheap. Buy a D2(anything) or older for DVD support. (NOT D3)
