There is an interesting kind of sentences in the english language (and in any other one I think). Those sentences I'm talking about are the ones starting with "Oh, I always loved/hated...". It's a weird kind of statement.
For example the first problem is defining 'always'. You can define it on a very large scale of periods, like "since the universe hatched from its gigantic egg". It might seem good at first sight, but one can spot some wrongness in this definition. One couldn't like playing counter strike with their friends, when 2 million years ago dinosaurs roared across the land. So this kind of 'always' is not too good for us. Let's look at a little narrower range of time, a human lifetime is a good candidate. You could say "I always liked roasted beef with smashed potato". That sounds good, doesn't it? Well aside from the fact, that 3 month old babies rarely eat roasted beef with smashed potatoes, of course that doesn't exclude the possibility of liking it anyway. Maybe from mom's umbilical cord, the lil' baby got some liquid roasted beef with smashed potatoes, and developed some liking for it. Anyways, unarguably the baby times are the part of our lifetime, too, and there is some month long period after we saw the light of a ceiling lamp in the hospital, we didn't particularly loved or hated anything, because we didn't even know what does 'love' and 'hate' mean. So the only good one seems that 'always' is 'a period of time starting sometimes not too long ago and will end sometimes in the future'. It isn't too much information about the thing you talking about but oh well. ^^
Putting the rambling aside, now I wouldn't have to explain the next sentence. I have always liked Nintendo consoles.
A little history about this:
I got my first Nintendo console when I was around six. It was the big gray brick gameboy, with a green-o-chrome display. I only got two games with it, one was Kung Fu Masters, a mediocre sideway scroller karate game, and the other was Tetris, which put a great infuence on me, up until today. I nearly played these games to pieces, since I had only these two, I always looked for secret levels, but unfortunately there was none in them. I got a PC afterwards, and my parents said that i was ought to do serious things, not games, so that was a litte departure from Nintendo. I played games on the pc nevertheless, but that's not the point. I never met another Nintendo up until college, when Mizu-chan bought a DS. I was mesmerized about the quality of the games on it and decided I have to get one, too!
I didn't got the DS first, but it's little brother, the Gameboy advance SP, but soon it had been sold for a classic "fat" DS. Meanwhile, from the junksale, I acquired a NES, a SNES, and a 1/2 N64.
That's my Cube on my trusty Commodore 64 :P
And my latest addition to this history, is a Nintendo Gamecube.I bought it from Mizu-chan. It's in perfect confition, and got a Harry Potter game with it, too. If you ask me why they named it Gamecube, I think there is only one reson for that. Had they named it Gamesphere, the designers would have to follow that accordingly, and you would be constantly running after your Gamesphere just rolled off our desk.
Anyways, the cube is great, can't wait to play Zelda on it, which just happens to be my favourite game, thanks Mizu-chan ^^
By the way, we should do the gadget-history-thingie you just wrote about, its a great idea!
Nyekk
P.S.: I really like my new Nobuta bag, photos will follow ^^
