On my first pc build I had to drove 2 hours back to the parts supply shop because after all was assembled the PC doesn't turn at all.

Just standing on the door the seller looks to me and ask: "did you read the first paragraph on the first page of the main board manual, the one on extremely gigantic font?"

The main board had a Jumper which is set on pins 1-2 to shipping and 2-3 for working, if you don't change the jumper, the board will not start at all!!! and really was a warning of half page, as my granma used to say: "si todo lo demás falla, lea el PUTO manual" (if everything else fails, RTFM!)

Never has been so ashamed on my life.

The only redeem was a client some time later; she call me a Tuesday afternoon asking:

"Hey, how many will cost replace the coaster of the PC, I know I will have to pay it and the warranty will no cover it because I put a big glass of juice on it, please give me a good price to replace it".

I get socked and completely confused, my mind start to spin "coaster?" when I reacted try to ask her which coaster (on the more polity manner) and she told me the one on the PC, the one which she pressed a button and come from the PC tower with a hole for the glass.

I can't believe her: SHE WAS USING THE CD-ROM DRIVE TRAY AS A COASTER!!!

That same client calls me a Sunday night because: "She was finishing her graduation paper and after saving she stand up and go to kitchen for a coffee and when return, the PC was turn off and do not start again", she was crying because she had to deliver the paper next day 07:00

By then I was 15 year old, so my father had to drove me to her house two towns away at 23:00, we got on her house with a replacement PC on a backpack (we only had a motorcycle by then) and tools ready to put her Hard drive on the new PC.

When I go under the table to try to diagnose the problem, I did find what the power strip cable was around the chair leg and when she pull the chair back, disconnected the power strip from wall. I connected it back, routed the cable away of the furniture and test the PC started OK, open the document and all was working fine.

Obviously I did charge her lot of money for the visit.

Wii U didn't go to hell at least. PSP was ready to go and it didn't even launch yet.
People talk crap about the wii u but it was and still is my go to emulation device for any big get together where I wanna play Kirbys air ride with friends or some other crap like fzero(gx).

but you could have used the wii for that too

yes we can make excuses for the wiiu and say we found uses for it after hacking it to hell, but for people who bought it as their primary gaming console 10 years ago it was pretty crap

poor first party support and abysmal third party support

I like nintendo, and I owned a wiiu, but it's hands down the worst console in the entire nintendo home lineup
