Bought a GCN controller by a brand called Under Control (looks very similar to the Retro Fighters N64 controller).

Visually, it looks pretty good and am curious about this controller so decided to buy even without knowing anything about it, whether if it's any good or not. The closest to that is this short French review:

The cross is well placed, perfect for fighting or GBA / NES games (example Zelda 1 without the Zelda pack).
On the other hand, I have to touch the yellow stick every time to press the B button, too bad.
Not the perfect controller to use the cross on GC, but I don't know any better at the moment...

That's three GCN controllers I'll own now and more than enough, that's not counting the Hori Wii Turbo Controller (GCN-style) I also purchased.

About two weeks ago I ordered stainless steel can openers (3x) as they're super useful and arrived yesterday. It'd be easier to use that than a spoon to open a can in case of an emergency.

There are electrical can openers which admittedly are useful for older people who can't use their hands very well, but if there are blackouts you ain't gonna be able to use that electrical can opener, anyway.

Electric ones are much more harder to use, I completely hate the damn things.

The blade also has troubles cutting through the can all the way.
I once bought one and returned it because it was so noisy and it didn't actually open a can. The thing it was intended for.

Did I mention I purchased this can opener? It is battery operated. Little noise, Limited can size to open tho. but it does the trick

I received my official Wii Classic Controller yesterday and when it's in excellent condition / near brand new, it really is a super cute controller!

I'll be buying a second one, preferably in similar condition and then switch around the cable placement and maybe the analog sticks too.

Edit: GBATemp, I didn't mean switch the console...
