Being vegetarian, I've always used this as a substitute for evaporated milk in pumpkin pies. It's kinda expensive for what it is, and difficult to resist chugging (making it more expensive), but I haven't been able to find anything else like it.

ha! nice duke reference.

there's a shortage? i ordered three with nunchuks from nintendo.com and they arrived within the week. if you can't find them on shelves, wouldn't your next step be to check with the manufacturer?

is there any reason that nintendo can't send VC titles to the DS? i'm not sure what the memory is in those things, but i know i've downloaded some pretty elaborate demos from target onto my DS.

what's keeping them from releasing an official cart with all of the necessary emulation software, hopefully with software for multiplayer between DSes, and some extra space for downloaded games? it would certainly make the $8 for altered beast seem a bit more reasonable.

there aren't many PS1 games i'm fond enough of to buy a PS3 to play them on the go, but they've got the price right. it would be so awesome to have VC games on the DS without having to resort to illegal and unreliable avenues.

actually, expose first appeared in panther (10.3), which has been around since october 2003.

donutta,

try http://www.kotaku.com/
more news, and they usually post it before joystiq. also, so far they haven't exaggered any inconveniently timed press releases or spoiled any of the games that i've been waiting to play.

sevon:

fledgling, adj. - New and untried or inexperienced

read it again now that you know what that word means.

two major points were conveniently overlooked in the article:

1. none of those third-party accessories were made by nintendo. they were made by cheap toy manufacturers.

2. the wiimote doesn't use infrared.

this is just flamebait.

seriously. major spoilers in this article.
