Well, yeah. They have juice on 'em when you get 'em, it's just recommended that when you get a Lithium-Ion battery, that you fully charge it before discharging it, to build up a good power base. Makes the battery's length longer.

Well, Squeenix is making the game, after all.
Looks interesting, but, it was announced right around the same time as the DS. C'MON, SQUARE! WE KNOW YOU <3 LONG DEVELOPMENT TIMES, BUT THIS IS SERIOUSLY FREAKING RIDICULOUS!

the DS lite is sexy.
I got it for my birthday because no one else got me anything, so, uh, yeah.
I picked up Mario Kart, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, and Brain Age.
Mario Kart is slick as fuck.
the new powerups make it hard to stay really far ahead of the pack, so I find the game to be a lot more competitive then it used to be. now it's something to really celebrate when you end up way ahead of everyone else.
I thought the use of the second screen as a map was retarded, but the more I play, the more I appreciate it. you see all projectiles, as well as what weapons everyone has. since you can escape the blue shell of death with a perfectly timed drift boost, it's a godsend. also, if I'm not sure where I am in relation to everyone, a quick tap with either thumb shows the entire course, and I tap on back to minimini-map mode. plus, it's bitchin' when someone uses the squid ink pickup; you can play completely by map while the ink wears off.
the retro maps kinda show you how bad the old maps sucked, with a few exceptions. I was happy that the haunted pier level was back, and my first lap through, I landed the shortcut jump over the hole in the house my first try. I guess some games don't leave ya, huh? new rainbow road is shitty, though.
yoshi still fucks everyone over with no trouble. I guess that's just how that playa rolls.
dual strike is a pain in the ass at first. I really don't like how the campaign gives Black Hole the dual CO power really early. it's a fuckstick and a half to try to get around when you first run into it - even a few shitty units will make quick work of your precious armor in two whole turns.
but, playing advance wars as a point and click makes a fuckload of sense. if only I wasn't so eager to tap the wait button and screw my comrades over on accident. =/
animal crossing is like MMO lite, so it tides over my world of warcraft cravings. it's mindless, and all you're trying to do is make your house bigger and get more money through professions, so it's like the same, right?
I'm having fun with it. the goat in my town calls everyone "kid", so when he asked me to change his greeting, I made it, "Sup, g" and now he walks around saying stuff like, "Sup, g! How are you doing, kid?" gangsta as fuck.
I also made my town tune the first part of the hook for Smoke on the Water... you know, dun dun DUN, dun dun DUNDUN. lame, but fun.
I networked with my friend, and she came to my town to buy stuff(so I can upgrade Nook's again(oh, and to steal my apples, she doesn't have any), she was looking through my house, and she said she wanted the Spaceman Sam I'd received from one of my townmates. I said no, so she went out and dug up my red turnip and held it hostage. I gave up the Spaceman, she put back the turnip, but oh! it doesn't grow after you've taken it out of the ground. I was so pissed, I visited her town and turned off ALL the lights in her house.
yay bullshit drama.
brain age is an entertaining thing to do for a few minutes a day. it has all the daily training stuff, and Soduku, which I hated before actually trying it in the game, and I likes it a bit more then I thought I would.
my beef with the game is that the mic has trouble with my pronunciation of the word 'blue', so I miss a few answers on one of the tests. Bluh-Ew. oh, and that it says I'm like, 42. I'm not.
so yes. DS = sexy.
and hey, moto, isn't the dude in your sig ripping off g's signature pose? I can't help but remember that as the one.

As much as I love to see Nintendo succeed, I can't help but laugh... especially since this one guy at a video game store I go to was like, "DUDE, you need a DS Lite!" and I'm all "lol, noes" and he was all "BUT ITS SMALLER WITH BETTER LIGHT!" and I'm all "Bitch, please! I'm a Happy Happy-ist." He had no answer to that. GOD DAMN why can't people in the video game sales industry get a reference to a game over ten years old? Oh that's right, THEY AREN'T TRYING TO WHORE IT OUT TO ME LIKE IT WERE A SYPHILLACTIC PROSTITUTE! FUCK YOU HALO! I FUCKING SERIOUSLY MEAN THAT! FUCK. YOU. /me hateses the Halo. |

I don't understand DS Lite's mass appeal. I already have a DS, is DS Lite supposed to excite me because its kind of smaller?

I've been asking that question since the thing was announced, like, a day after the original DS.

Oh, and cuz it's all Apple-looking and glossy. It's da new hawtness, son! ps My lite's hinge is fine. pps Probably. Ortan doesn't do anything even remotely original, so biting off people's poses wouldn't exactly be a shocker. |
