Custom DS styli will blow your cover

by Justin McElroy on Apr 17th 2009 5:00PM

When we play our DS in public, we occasionally like to pretend it's a PDA, just so we look like grown-ups. To complete the illusion, we'll often say things like "Ugh, I have so many business appointments in my PDA," or "Ugh, why can't I find Johnson's phone number in my PDA?"

While we love these custom game-themed styli like a Trauma Center scalpel or Link's Master Sword, if there's a quicker way to tip people off that you're not sending a business email, we haven't seen it.

Awesome.

The problem is that it won't fit in the Styli-slot, which makes it pretty pointless for practical use.

Would be very tempted to buy the Master Sword if it didnt have the sheath.

I believe the sheath is there to provide a blunt end, to be used on the DS screen so it doesn't scratch it. If you remove the sheath the sword would probably be too pointy to use with the DS.

if you look closely at the picture it looks like the sword and sheath are slightly different in shades of white and could be different pieces of plastic, which means you could possibly take the sword out of the sheath, but then we'd have to wait and see before we know for sure

i want one

LOL, I don't really care if other grown-ups see me playing my DS in public. I'm 38 and I know what makes me happy. I usually take mine with me when I have to wait at the dealership for maintenance on my car. Last time I was there, the service rep goes "oh, cool, is that a new phone". He didn't look too impressed when I showed him it was "just a video game".

Exactly. Do what you want. The casual owners are older so they won't judge you.

Anyway who has PDA's anymore. It's either iPhone or Blackberry

The stylus does look cool, but it won't fit into the slot whats the point.

I thought it was a miniature dildo when I first saw it (no graphics driver because I'm in safe mode).
It's a bit phallic, isn't it?

Everything long and pointy is phallic.

It just depends on how phallus-centric your mind is to bring the image of the penis to your mind when you see them.
