Also with Desert Bus for Hope on the horizon I want to use this space to (probably unnecessarily) point to Child's Play. It's almost not utilmaxxing, but I know when I was in hospital as a kid the little cart with a Nintendo 64 on it was the only time I felt like an actual kid instead of a science experiment or hurt.
