Keep voting for SOTM for han!

It was kind of a spur of the moment thing, but I bought myself a DS lite! I’m well aware that at this precise moment in time I can’t afford it, but I *should* be getting paid from my last client soon. We’ll I’ve sent the invoice!

Speaking of money, I gave in my CV at PC World the other week. A week later we tried calling them but each store doesn’t have an individual number so I only got through to the head office who said they weren’t recruiting for a while. Crap! Imagine my surprise when today, three weeks later a lovely lady phones me up and tells me their doing general inquiries on Monday! I’m taking this as an informal interview but I’m so excited and so nervous!

I haven’t worked in a PC place for over a year and as we all know - I’m all about teh macs now! What if I don’t know enough! Maybe they’ll let me sell macs there!?

Well, heres hoping she likes me and yay for giving in my CV really early!

so, the DS!

I went for white, I considered black but my nanos black and I’d always wished I’d gotten white. (I said black as an emo reflex!) Its lovely, if a bit small :S It reminds me of the original Gameboy Advance before they changed it completely with the SP! I always found it really difficult to play so I immediately swapped for the SP when it came out. It also depends at which angle your sitting as to whether you can hold it, but for animal crossing, the game I bought it with it doesn’t matter because the whole games controlled with the stylus! The little character follows you around! If it hadn’t been for that I think the game would me mightily pants tbh!

The game basically consists of catching butterflies, beach combing and fishing! When Tom Nook has a spade I’ll dig for fossils too and assemble dinosaurs! I’ve already paid off loads of my mortgage too. It really is like real life and they have events, for example on Sunday theres a fishing fair!

ds2

I’ve decided to buy Dr Kawishimas brain training because I love puzzles and strategy games but I also want another game that I can just play, but I need suggestions from all you DS owners! Mario 64? How are the controls on Mario Kart?! Diddy Kong Racing? I had all of these on the n64, Is Yoshi Story anything like the n64 game!? Cos I completed that in a few hours! (the only other game I’ve ever completed was harry potter on the playstation!) So games games games people! I need ideas! (and money! LOL!) Do sign up to Text-Link-Ads!

That’s awesome. I want a DS, but I’m saving up for a pink Gameboy SP. My current GBSP is red and it’s broken. :( And I need to finish Pokemon Rescue. hehe

the DS sounds like a Nintendon 64 but smaller! I want one! haha, I love mario kart.

Hey why don’t you apply at an Apple store? If there’s one nearby, I reckon you’re IN! Good luck anyway!

My bro has a DS and I kidnapped that whenever we were at my parents. He has tons of games on it, including Brain Age - it’s a really cool program and you can definitely make some progress if you do it every day. A similar game is Big Brain Academy, that’s more for fun and not a real every-day program.

Other great games were Trauma Center, Mario Kart or Nintendogs :D

I’m not as keen on the Lite as I am on the normal DS because I find it too small for my fat fumbly fingers. I am slightly biased, being the owner of a boring grey second-hand DS though.. heh.

Animal Crossing is great but it becomes VERY addictive. Unfortunately after putting in hours of work on my town and getting it full of flowers I ended up doing a major project for a client at work and not playing for ages so my flowers died, which pissed me off :S

Anyway, don’t get Harvest Moon DS (in case you were considering it) - it’s not as good as the Gamecube version (if you’ve ever played that?) I would recommend the Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 game though.. cute, and puzzle-like with my little Italian hero! :D

If you ever played Theme Park on the SNES, there’s the remake of that for the DS but I don’t know if I love it or hate it yet. Erm, other than that there’s the various mario games of which I’ve completed those that I own because they’re so easy.

So, yes.. heehee, this is a long comment :3

I hope things work out for you with the potential job. I’m more about macs now, too. Before getting an iMac I was all “psh, macs suck” until I actually TRIED one. They’re so superior to PCs in my opinion, now.

The DS is so sleek and pretty. I want one! I only have a pink Gameboy Advance. I’m so behind the times…

I’m not really fond of the DS. I like the PSP, though. Buuut the only games I like for the DS are Animal Crossing (which you mentioned) and Feel the Magic, which gets kind of annoying after awhile. It’s fun though.

Congrats on getting the DS! I was going to buy one, but I had to remember that I’m saving up for a camera :whimper: . It’s moments like that when I wish I had money to splurge.

Good luck with the inquiry. :)
