EDITOR'S NOTEfrom Layton Shumway

Is the Big N leaving you lonely? Andrew's got a few tips that are perfect for attracting the bigwig of your dreams.

The sea has plenty of fish, but none is so fine a catch as the Nintendo executive. Date the higher-ups, and the Big N will truly change your love life. Regardless of your gender or orientation, you’ll find an executive for you. Here’s how to reel that sushi-grade tuna in:
 
1) Show variety
 
The first thing you want to show your Nintendo executive love interest is that variety is the spice of life. When you first approach them, try an outfit in midnight black. Excuse yourself and return in a new ensemble in fiery red. After the third drink, come back dressed in cobalt blue with a huge Pikachu perched on your shoulder.
 
2) Show consistency
 
While variety makes a great first impression, you need to show consistency -- that you’re in it for the long haul. Order a gin and tonic, then order another gin and tonic...but with more ice. Then another...but with two lemon slices, maybe a lime. Then order another gin and tonic, but make sure it’s in a different glass.
 
3) Talk about your hobbies
 
You never know when boring hobbies will inspire a revolutionary product worth millions of dollars, and no one is more aware of this than the Nintendo executive. Some suggestions: knitting, skeeball, picking your nose in traffic, collecting stamps, collecting coins, collecting stamps featuring coins, coloring inside the lines, and waving your arms about like a maniac.

4) Spend big and be wasteful
 
With the Wii dropping off, the Nintendo DS in its death throes, and the 3DS turning into an unmitigated disaster, the Nintendo executive is looking for security. Demonstrate that you don’t mind spending the money on two courses that are exactly the same (but one has a bigger plate). Buy a drink because it looks great and you saw it on Oprah, take a sip, but don’t touch it again. Explain that the first sip was fun for a while, but you don’t really have time for the rest of the drink, and you bought it for when friends come over anyway.
 
5) Don’t commit
 
Above all, don’t commit. Explain that you are into casual dating, but you haven’t forgotten the hardcore. Tell them you are into men, women, and the elderly. Explain that you enjoy pleasing entire families all at once. And tell them you love puppies.

Ha ha, nice. If I was drinking milk, it'd be coming out my nose right now.
