This is a very handy cable to have in a dorm. Renting movies from a store nowadays is very hard to come by. But chances are you'll have at least one friend with a Netflix account for a movie night.

Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 is arguably the single greatest game system ever made. And now, it is cheap, much cheaper than a PS3 or Xbox 360, and personally I think it is more fun to play. If you didn't own an N64 when you were a kid, chances are you know someone who did. This is a great addition to your dorm and will attract anyone walking by who looks to relive some of their past. Plays great games like Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, Legend of Zelda, Mario 64, Mario Tennis, Pokemon Stadium, and my personal favorite, Super Smash Bros.



If you dont already own one then buy on Amazon Nintendo 64 System

Butterfly Chair
This is easily the most comfortable chair you will ever own. If you need a comfortable chair thats for lounging, watching tv, or playing video games, this is the right one. It also folds up and fits under a bed if you need space for a party. I HIGHLY recommend this chair.

You can buy one on Amazon Ebony-classic Butterfly Chair
