I'm Finally Wii U'in it.

On 01/16/2016 at 06:15 PM by mothman

My new job gave me a $1000 signing bonus which after the Canadian government got hold of it became $561 but it allowed me to pick up a Nexus 6P phone and a Wii U. I got Mario Kart 8 with it and of course I had to get Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I'm loving everything so far. I've attached an old 250 GB drive I had lying around and downloaded a bunch of demos.

I've got so much I want to buy now but MK8 and XCX will keep me busy for a while.

Once my birthday hits I'll get a PS4 but for now I'm happy to have my first new console in 8 or so years. (PS TV and 3DS not included)

Nice! Make sure you add me as a friend. I'm whatsacow. Though you should probably add Bilby since she plays A LOT more haha.

You've got the two games I don't have but really want. I mainly just want xenoblade chronicles though, looks amazing!

Sweet! So is your other income taxed around 45% or just that bonus?

mothman

Nope my regular income gets taxed at 22%

Ah, gotcha. Mine was taxed at around %15 last time I worked for the university/state of Texas. Wonder if it'll go up now that I'll be earning double what I was.

Tax brackets are a bitch man.

Yeah ... though I don't think going from $1000 to $2000/mo puts me in a different tax bracket after all. lol

Nice man, welcome to the Wii U club. You can find me on miiverse as Alex-C25.

If you still have some money left to burn, get Smash Bros. 4 so we can play.

Hey congrats on the new toys. I was looking at the Nexus phones for a bit when I was going to get a new phone. I wanted the big Nexus phone (I think it was the 6.) I liked the 6p too but I wanted to go with a big phone and everytime I went to see if the 128GB 6p was in stock it wasn't.

How are you liking the Wii U?

The time that I've had on it has been really fun however my son is monopolizing the game room right now playing the PS3. I might get in there after work today.
