Donating my GameCube for a Good Cause
I just donated my GameCube and its controllers and games to the Somerville undergrads (aka: JCR), because apparently they were still mostly using a Nintendo 64 for their gaming.
I hadn't used my GameCube in many years (not since I bought a Wii when I was a postdoc at Caltech), and it hadn't occurred to me previously that they might want it.
I am happy to see it get used instead of it just sitting on my shelf and taking up space.
Some people donate money for buildings or scholarships; I donate video games. Somehow, it seems fitting.
