DS Daily: Drop it like it's hot

Four feet onto concrete really isn't that bad. I've dropped my iPod from higher up than that and it still works ~_^

A DS is a bit more breakable than an iPod. Unless you step on your iPod like I did. Then you can effectively crush it into pieces.

Interesting way to prove how much stronger it is, the only problem is I've done the same thing with my Lite and it didn't even get a scratch. Maybe we need to talk to NASA about doing some real scientific tests, no?

What the hell kinda reason could they have for hitting a GC with a golf club?! glad to hear the GBA stood up to their anti nintendo violence ¬_¬

Smashed GBA? Grilled GC? What the hell- why not just sell it off, instead of wasting it like that?

WTF did you do to tick your parents off that badly? Did you drive the car into the living room or something?

Wow, your parents need help. Bad. Now. Is your last name Thompson?

Wha...? The story behind that random act of violence really needs to be told D:

Um, I've just replied to myself, so I'm pretty sure none of you will ever see it... but...

See, I'm a little smart. Just a little. I don't study, I just do the homework, go to class, take the test, come home with an A. School isn't hard for me.

So, in 6th grade, I had a science class that I HATED with a passion. The teacher hated me as well. Midway through the year, we had two 'large' papers assigned (one was two pages, one was like, some sort of project... bite me, I was ... 11 at the time)So, I decided that I didn't feel like doing the papers. Naturally, that dropped my grade like a rock. At the same time, I was ... having issues with doing homework for other classes, mostly English (I hadn't the slightest inclination in reading Celia Garth, nor in reading about Nordic myth...)

At the same time, my family was going through some chaos... Mostly, my brother nearly got kicked out of boarding school, and so we had to pull him out before he did; everyone freaked out about that, and that's about it.

So my parents, obviously, had a lot on their plates when the report cards got sent out... and I had a big, fat F on a report card filled otherwise with As and Bs, and all the emails from teachers asking why I didn't turn in this assignment or that assignment...

So they snapped. They smashed the GC to pieces with a golf club, tried to kill the GBA in the same way (all that happened was a copy of Breath of Fire II flew from it); when that failed, they started up the gril and burned it.

I can assure you, I did very well for the rest of the year, and the next year, and the following, and now it's a happen.

Alright, so since I can't reply to your reply, I'm just replying to your original post.

Your parents need serious therapy if their anger management problems are that bad.

On that note, though....I'm glad they didn't beat YOU with the golf club.

Hopefully someone here can post a few good sources of replacement cases. My onyx (bought on release day as a souvenir of a few-years residence in Japan) has developed a hinge problem, and I'm wondering if it'll heal itself or get worse.

So, elite DS customizers, what are some good cases? I want a metal one or something. Not flashy. Olive drab mil-spec would beat all.

Personally, I'd just save up and buy him a Lite to replace it. He'll be better off in the long run.

Well, I seriously doubt that the Insurance company will be able to find a new DS Phat to replace it with, and they're obliged to replace it with "the same or newer", so the replacement will likely be a DS Lite. :-) Will have to see when I speak to them in the morning.
