Got the last issue of Nintendo Power today...tried reading it but couldn't get too in depth because I was getting too choked up. I don't know why it's getting to me so much...I guess it's just because I've loved Nintendo Power pretty much my entire life, and now that it's gone it's almost like I'm losing an old friend or something.

I am really glad I got a copy though. The guy at Barnes and Noble said they had sold out of them, but later came up to me with one he'd found misplaced in the wrong section. I really should've thanked him more now that I think about it; if I'd missed out on this, I would've felt like my childhood died and I missed the funeral.

But yeah, the end had a little comic that said something pretty sappy that was a bit lame but still got me pretty good.

"None of this is really going away, is it? I mean, Nintendo Power had a great run...It's like when you finish a great game--you're kind of sad to see it end, but really proud and happy too."

I'm really gonna miss you, Nintendo Power...
