I just got a Nintendo DSi over the weekend to replace the Nintendo DS lite that my dog ate last year.  If you already have one, you know you can download games from the Nintendo DSi Shop.  Games range from 200-800 Nintendo Points.  Points cost $10 for 1000.  There is also a free web browser and some other application that I didn’t bother with, if you need something for free.  I don’t even use my regular consoles for browsing the web, no way in hell I am wasting time on the DSi trying to browse the web.

Most of the games for DSiWare are terrible.  I had 1000 points to spend, and it was a struggle to actually find something worth spending them on.  I eventually broke down and bought Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! , but even that hasn’t been too great.   Probably not 800 Nintendo Points great.

I have a little suggestion for Nintendo, how about you let people buy and download REAL GameBoy, GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance games?  I can understand leaving classic console games on the Wii with Virtual Console…that’s fine with me.  Just bring back the classic handheld games on the DSi.  You can call it “DSi Virtual Console”!  It really can’t be that hard to get old games refitted for the DSi.  I would actually pay to play some of the old Mario, Zelda and Metroid games for GB/GBA.  Seriously, I haven’t played Metroid 2 in WAY too long.

Plus, you’ve already killed off the chance of me using my actual GBA cartridges since you removed the slot from the DSi. This all just works together so perfectly.  Nintendo…make it happen.  E3 is right around the corner, this announcement would be most welcome!

I haven't heard from Jason since he got his iPad.  I'm not sure what happened.  He could have been trampled to death by a pack of rabid Apple fans for all I know.

So, Jay, I hate to pry you away from your preciousss, but would you mind posting some thoughts on the iPad?  You can even post it from the device itself, if you wish.

Not to turn this into a LiveJournal or anything, but Jason always posts how in love with his iPhone he is, so I figured I'm allow to tell people how much I love my Samsung Moment that is powered by Google.

I got an invite to Google Voice a LONG time ago and I never used it because I couldn't figure out what phone number I wanted to use.  Basically, you get your own local phone number from Google...and when people call that number...it will automatically ring all your other phones and transfer the call.  So someone calls my Google phone number...I get the call on my cell phone.  It also does visual voicemail and transcribes all voicemails that are left if you don't answer the call.  How awesome is that?  Answer:  Really awesome!

But the best part....I just got a Google phone number with "GAMER" in it.   So you can call (XXX)- XX-GAMER and reach me.  SO AWESOME!!!  Anyways...just wanted to tell someone...sorry if this feels like a LiveJournal post.

StarCraft 2....WTF!!! PDF Print E-mail

I happened to get a StarCraft 2 beta key from a friend yesterday and I've been playing last night and this morning.  WTF!?!?  I seriously cannot be this bad at StarCraft 2 online.  I'm getting raped by everyone I play online.  Supposedly this game pairs you up with someone of "equal skill" for your first 5 matches before it dumps you into the random populace of the game.  What...fucking....ever!!   I've played 4 matches and each one ends with me rage quitting because either jerkface mcgee comes rolling in with 8 carriers like 10 minutes after we started and I have absolutely no air support or he rolls in with like 2000 units (estimate) and I have like 5.

There is absolutely no way these people are just getting online for the first time.  They know the tech tree WAY too well, know the exact way they need to build up their army in the shortest time possible and are probably Korean.  ARGH!  So frustrating, but I love playing...so I'm going back to getting my ass handed to me.

Have any of you seen PlayStation Move in action?  Last night on PlayStation Home they had some kind of event blah blah blah, anyway there was a video in the theatre from a recent showing of PlayStation Move and to be honest I was quite unimpressed.  Maybe it's because I've had a Nintendo Wii since 2006 but, everything that was shown, with the exception of SOCOM 4, appeared to be very gimmicky and an attempt to catch up to Nintendo.  Just about everything they showed felt like it was already done by Nintendo and probably done better, graphics aside of course.

I honestly can't remember any of the game titles that I saw last night.  I remember some sports games (table tennis), which by the way looked incredibly laggy, some drawing game where you had to draw really fast with the Move controller, a mini-game that the objective was to cut hair, and finally Downhill Office Chair Racing.  Yes that's exactly what it is, a downhill racing game on a friggin' chair!!!!  Give me a break!  Crap crap crap that's all I saw last night.

Granted even though I am not in awe from what I saw, I still am psyched to see and try out PlayStation Move.  What do you guys think?  Are you impressed so far?  Vote on our new poll down on the bottom.
