This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I Try Another Sketchy Video Converter?” Pro-Con List, which I asked myself about fifty times today while trying to convert .m2ts files into something useful like .mov.
Pros:
- If it works, I’ll be able to update.
- If I update, I will rapidly develop a career as an internet celebrity.
Cons:
- Spyware is inevitable.
- A virus is inevitable.
- It’s not going to work, it’ll just waste more of my time.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I Listen to this Podcast?” Pro-Con List, which I consider before starting the next podcast on my iPod, and then going ahead and listening to it anyway.
Pros:
- I won’t have anything to occupy my mind with otherwise.
- This one might be intelligent.
Cons:
- Is there a level of humour less mature than sophomoric? Because I’m pretty sure this will feature it.
- There is a high chance that they will wander off topic and talk about absolutely nothing for 20 minutes.
- Even the small chance that this will be a “live” show makes its value questionable.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I Stare at this Used Games Rack Any Longer?” Pro-Con List, which I ask myself every time I visit an EB or video store.
Pros:
- The bargain of the century awaits.
- My knowledge of used games prices will continue to expand, I will be able to save an ever expanding amount of money.
- If I stare long enough, a crate of mint Chrono Triggers is bound to show up.
Cons:
- There is no actual money to be saved, spending less still implies that I spent more than nothing.
- I could be looking at movies instead.
- Nobody seems to do buy-2-get-1-free anymore, so there’s no point.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Life” Pro-Con List, which I am currently considering as I become busier.
Pros:
- Sleep, when you can get it.
- That moment when you realize you just got a platinum medal in a game, and you’re still not done racking up points.
- Titties.
Cons:
- Tiredness.
- The dull roar of tooth-grinding stress.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I ‘Catch ‘em All’?” Pro-Con List, which I am currently considering since becoming addicted to Pokémon Gold.
Pros:
- Surely, such a feat would further cement my title of videogame ninja.
- What the hell else am I doing with my time?
Cons:
- That’s such a poorly defined goal. Catch all the Pokémon in what, Red and Blue? Gold and Silver? One of the newer games? All the Pokémon in all the games, even the ones I don’t have?
- Aren’t there 493 of them now?
- There are probably others things I could be doing with my time.

This week’s pro-con list is Nintendo’s “Should We Replace Newbs’ Copy of Pokémon Gold?” Pro-Con List, which they had to consider after I sent them a scathing email.
Pros:
- He would be so happy, he might give us even more money.
- Would avoid us dishonouring ourselves.
Cons:
- It would cost us money.
- It would cost us a lot of money. Pokémon Gold/Silver sold 15 million copies, and replacing one copy would set a dangerous precedent.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I Twitter this?” Pro-Con List, which I consider every day when I force myself to make my daily Twitter post.
Pros:
- I will be relieved of the pressure of not having said anything today.
- My fame as a Twitter legend awaits.
- One day, this thought will be vital information for the person writing my biography (since my fame is imminent).
Cons:

This week’s pro-con list is a female cosplayer’s “Should I cosplay this weekend?” Pro-Con List, which I’m sure she must take under constant consideration.
Pros:
- I might meet a handsome webmaster.
- I might be put into a video by a handsome webmaster and become world famous.
Cons:
- I will be accosted by horrible monsters.

This week’s pro-con list is my “Should I Buy this Sega Genesis and Nine Games?” Pro-Con List, which I ran through at a garage sale recently.
Pros:
- I’ll be able to do that thing on the internet where you say “I’m not a fanboy, I own consoles from multiple companies!”
- It’s only $15.
- Sega does what Nintendon’t.
- Blast processing!
Cons:
- I’m never going to play all these terrible Looney Tunes games, and they’re just going to make my backlog bigger.
- I don’t even like Sonic.
- I’m a compulsive game horder and this is just further evidence of my disease.
